You can do that, create a desktop icon, or even set it up under the scheduled tasks link in your control panel. That last is probably the most tricky but it is possible.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Character code for check mark in MS Word 2007

I'm not sure about the char code for it but the symbol is found under the bullets option in the home tab of the ribbon. If you do an alt + H then tab down to bullets then press space it will take you into a list of bullets. There you can arrow up and down through the options. The checkmark is there.

[Blind-Computing] PHP editor with auto indentation feature
Dear List Members, I write for this list first time so let me present myself to you. I am a visual impaired (blind) programmer (aged 33) from Hungary; it's a Central-European country. Nowadays I'm mainly coding in PHP, but earlier I programmed in Perl for a while. I use Win XP and JAWS for Windows screen reader. The question which I apply to you is following: I am looking for a PHP editor, or an editor being able to edit PHP code which has auto indentation feature. I tried out Komodo Edit 6 from Active state but JAWS didn't announce letters or lines moving with cursor in editor and didn't announce selected text using shift + arrow keys and JAWS key + shift + down arrow, as well. I tried to turn off Code Intelligence that means auto completion and other useful things, it didn't help. I Googled for Komodo Edit and screen reader use and searched for this app at blindcrawler.com which is a very good site but unfortunately I did not find anything about it. Pls if anybody has experience with this editor or knows any instructions about setting it to work with JAWS better write it. All the same I don't adhere to Komodo Edit. I would be glad of somebody could offer me any alternative, e.g. another editor which has auto indentation feature and works well or tolerable with JAWS. I need this feature because of sighted colleagues find a source not indented very ugly and hard to understand but correct indentation helps me to identify how many level I stay in code reviewing it, too. For this time I used Notepad built in Windows and made indentation manually writing spaces at beginning of lines but I found it was a very uncomfortable and slow solution and I liked to find a better one. Thanks for you in advance. Best regards, Daniel For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] PHP editor with auto indentation feature
Best bet I can think of off-hand would be edSharp: http://www.empowermentzone.com/edsetup.exe I primarily use it for python programming, but also for PHP and HTML sometimes, but aside from python, haven't really bothered too much with indentation, but it can handle it well enough, and it's meant for use by blind programmers etc., and also includes nice features like code snippets, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: Dániel Kollányi daniel.kolla...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 6:16 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] PHP editor with auto indentation feature Dear List Members, I write for this list first time so let me present myself to you.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Character code for check mark in MS Word 2007
Hi Jerry; Below is some verification of what we are talking about is correct. Hey Mike, I use alt+251 to insert the Square Root symbol. As you already mentioned, jaws will read it as letter v. You can add the Square Root symbol in the default dictionary manager, and then jaws will read it correctly. This is how I did it: 1. Open notepad. 2. Press ALT+251, this will insert the Square Root symbol. 3. Note that Jaws will read the Square Root symbol as letter V. 4. Select and copy the symbol without any spaces. 5. Open the Jaws default dictionary manager from the Jaws utilities submenu. 6. Select the Add button to add new entry in the Dictionary. 6. Paste the symbol in the Actual word edit box. 7. Type Square Root in the Replacement word edit box. 8. Tab to OK.

In Googling how to type the square root I've found mixed answers. 1 post says that there is not a way to type the square root symbol but, on the other hand I've found that typing the, ascii code, Alt + 251, is supposed to make a square root / checkmark symbol. Be patient, I'm going to ask the Jaws-Users list . Take care.

That last is probably the most tricky but it is possible. I might consider doing a demonstration recording some fine day if there is enough of a need for it.

The fact is I do it all of the time. FYI here is the command syntax. reboot shutdown -r -f -t 00 shutdown shutdown -s -f -t 00 The switch -f is what forces all programs to close out. The -t switch is for setting a delayed timer, so where the 00 is displayed if say you wish to have the system shutdown in 2 minutes the 00 would be changed to 120. This can all be done using the scheduled task wizard.
