[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and external numpads
Hi Victor, making sure the numlock was off, was the first thing I tried. However, your suggestion to reboot with the numpad plugged in, seem to do the trick. I am now able to use the cursor keys and the Jaws key okay now. However, I notice that I cannot do a read current word, or read current character. I am however, able to do previous word and next word, along with prior and next character. Current line etc is also okay. Obviously, I can cope with this, but it would be nice to know why it does this and how to fix it? Do you have any ideas? With David's instructions, I checked that desktop layout was selected. As I thought, it already was. I am actually using an Acer notebook, not a Toshiba smile. I bought it in 2001 and have never really used it. However, now I need to use it for my work. This brings up another question I have. At work, we do intake work(I am a counselor and a conflict mediator). The forms I need to fill in on the computer is in MS word format. At the moment I am going to be entering the work onto my laptop(hence the numpad). I have the form templates to try Jaws with. I find on my desktop running Windows XP and Jaws 7.0, that I have trouble navigating the forms. At work, I can tab through and enter the text in the required fields. I would however, need to keep track of all the tabbing to do and sometimes there is a lot. Do you or anyone else, know why I am having trouble with these forms at home? If I can't work it on my desktop(which is a more up-to-date system), I am not sure how I will go doing it on my laptop, which is using Windows ME and a very older version of Jaws. I do however, intend to upgrade Jaws to 7.0 like is on my desktop. I hope you or someone else can help me.

I have the same thing, an external num pad via USB port, and I get the same thing. In fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear that you were using a Toshiba laptop as well. Anyway, first and foremost, I would make sure that you reboot the computer with the num pad connected to it. Once it's connected and rebooted, see if it does the same thing. If it does, press the num lock key at the top left hand corner of the num pad. This should be where the num lock key is on the num pad. Anyway, try that and see if it works for you.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and external numpads
I have the same problem with the number pad I purchased for use with this ThinkPad using XP Pro using Jaws versions 5 through 7. I think it may be something to do with the codes the number pad transmits. The other issue I had was that it kept repeating numlock on with each press. Finally I just bit the bullet and got comfortable with the notebook keyboard. Fortunately this one has the six pak at the top right corner easy to access and more or less the inverted 'T' at the bottom right corner. Working with the various cursors is less convenient and any amount of entry is slow so, for some specific things I still use it but the Say Word and Spell Word just don't work with the number pad. If this is a necessary feature I suggest you find a shop with several number pads to choose from and bring your computer along and methodically test each until you find one which does as you need.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Organize favorites; help
Hi Rich, Just open up the favourites menu, then press the applications key to the left of the right control key. Once you do this, Jaws may not speak that the applications menu is open, but don't worry, just arrow up or down and you'll find it is open. Once you find that it is open, just arrow up to sort by, then arrow to name and press enter. This will organize your favourites menu into alphabetical order. If, on the other hand you want to place them in folders, I would suggest you do it via the favourites folder on your hard drive, as opposed to doing it through the menus. I just find it easier and less frustrating. To do this, just go into your my computer, under the c: drive, then into documents and settings, then to your name, or the name of the default user on the computer, usually, that's your name, then pressing enter on the favourites folder. At this point you'll be able to create folders and move your existing favourites into existing folders just by cutting and pasting. Again, this is just my preference, and others may find it easier another way.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and external numpads
Hi Jason, what I think happened with the num pad is that when you plug it in, your computer conflicts with the function key ability to create a num pad on the laptop's keyboard. This, I believe, is a common thing with all laptops, except the ones that have a full sized keyboard. Having said that, however, I believe the only fix is a complicated one, meaning you may have to go into the notebook's configuration and disable the laptop's num pad extension feature. This is complicated because you would have to disable the num lock feature that the function key provides. I know, it sounds complicated, and I wouldn't even be able to tell you how to do it, as I have the same problem. It might just be easier to just use the arrow keys to go back and forth past the word to listen to it again. I know, it's a pain in the ass, but what can you really do? In terms of your work at home, I think you should concentrate on the version of Office you are using, as opposed to the Jaws version you are using. There are vast differences in the ME platform and the XP platform, especially when it ones to accessibility with the various office products and the platforms they are associated with. Let me know what version of Office or Word you are using and I or someone else might possibly have a solution for you.

Rich - 1. Open the submenu you want to sort. I'm pretty sure that you have to do this on a submenu-by-submenu basis. 2. Press the Applications key. Press UP ARROW twice until you hear Sort by Name. Press ENTER. There is a registry hack that will sort _all_ of your Favorites and submenus at one time, but I don't remember what it is and I hesitate to give out registry hacks on a list where the range of experience is as wide as it is on this list. - Original Message - From: rich hamel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 1:05 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Organize favorites; help I have JAWS 6.0 and XP.

Do I need to do something else or could it be that the download did not work? Thanks for any ideas. Marilyn -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Organize favorites; help
Rich, I was glad to see your question. I found myself in the same situation. I knew how to use this featurebut, found that it did not work with my current set upas I had known it to work. I followed the first set of directions that Victor gave...and they worked. I went into the Favorites menu then hit the applications button. There is a list of commands from which you may choose. I am working from a lap top, so, my location of the applications key is at a different place than a desk top layout. But, the directions worked the same.

Every way I tried, I could not arrow or tab to get the sort by button. Would that button be anywhere else? Thanks again. Rich - Original Message - From: Victor Gouveia [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 2:52 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Organize favorites; help Hi Rich, Just open up the favourites menu, then press the applications key to the left of the right control key. Once you do this, Jaws may not speak that the applications menu is open, but don't worry, just arrow up or down and you'll find it is open. Once you find that it is open, just arrow up to sort by, then arrow to name and press enter. This will organize your favourites menu into alphabetical order. If, on the other hand you want to place them in folders, I would suggest you do it via the favourites folder on your hard drive, as opposed to doing it through the menus. I just find it easier and less frustrating. To do this, just go into your my computer, under the c: drive, then into documents and settings, then to your name, or the name of the default user on the computer, usually, that's your name, then pressing enter on the favourites folder. At this point you'll be able to create folders and move your existing favourites into existing folders just by cutting and pasting. Again, this is just my preference, and others may find it easier another way.

There's some thought that it may be related to a Windows update from last spring, but I've never seen the details on which update it might have been. I've installed every update that was appropriate for my system and have never seen this particular issue, but I do know that others have. Of course, if there is a problem update, it very well might not have been appropriate for my particular system configuration and I'd never have seen it.

[JAWS-Users] ANTI-VIRUS, FINAL DECISION
Hey everyone. I checked out the Spy Sweeper anti-virus software and also took a lookg at Microsoft One care. Although the Microsoft program has a lot of really cool features to offer, it just doesn't have the flexibility or the capability of AVG Professional. It does have some streamlined features for backing up your address book and Favorites lists for Outlook Express. but, pound four pound, AVG just seems to do a better job. The professional version has a lot more features which are programmable. Finally, I already have a firewall and an anti-spam program. Why pay $49 for one year's service on a program which, at least in my case, simply duplicates services I already have? Finally, AVG Professional operates beautifully with Jaws. Even when it's scanning, you can have it tell you what's going on using the Read All feature. You can tab in and out of there and get some idea of how much progress is being made. The first time I scanned my system with AVG Professional, it took an hour and 16 minutes. That's a long time for any program. Right now, you can get 2 years of service for about $39. That's a pretty good price for really decent software. Thanks to everyone for their interest in helping me.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 AND THE REPLY FEATURE
Something really strange about Jaws Version 8 and Outlook Express. Many times, when I press the Control R command when I'm lined up on a message, the Edit box opens okay but Jaws is so sluggish as to be practically useless. You type a word and about 2 seconds later, Jaws responds. Does anyone know what could cause this to happen? Maybe there's some kind of setting change I should make.

Hi Doug, Try this: From the start menu, and then programs, select Windows Messenger. When messenger opens, go to the tools menu, and then options. From this dialogue, go to the preferences tab, and uncheck the boxes formessenger start up, and run in the background. Tab to the okay button, and spacebar that, and then close messenger. If you are using Outlook Express, go to tools and then options and the general tab and make sure that windows messenger is not checked to log-in when Outlook Express is open.
