Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws quits speaking.
I wish it was that interesting. I work for a business development firm as a sales team leader and I am required to generate a monthly performance report. Frankly I liked it a lot better when there were more sales and fewer reports. I can give you more details off list if you are interested. Trust me the management side of this job is about as much fun as watching paint dry, however the money is incredible. Regards Larry Stansifer Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I frequently have problems with JAWS not speaking portions of a word or line, entire lines, and multiple lines. I think it is a video conflict with JAWS and the computer. Here is what I do when I encounter these problems. I start with the first item on the below list, and if that does not fix the problem I move on down the list. Repeatedly move the mouse in a upward or downward direction to move it off of the area where I am trying to work. Of course I haven't an idea where the mouse is moving to, but my goal is to move it to the top or bottom of the screen. My thought is that there is less chance that it will interfere with what I am doing. Use Insert+ESC to refresh the screen. Select the word, phrase, line, paragraph that you are having trouble reading Then use Insert+ESC to try refreshing the screen. Use Alt+Tab to move away from the program and then move back to the program. Insert+F4 to unload JAWS, and then Control+Alt+J to reload it. Before doing this, make sure the version of JAWS that you are using has the Control+Alt+J short cut set up. Close the document that you are working on and then re-open it. Exit out of the program and then reload it. If all of these tricks fail, give up on it for now and come back later, after a system reboot. Font size can also effect how JAWS reads. I find that Arial 12 works well with JAWS. Also check your view. I prefer to use "Print Layout" in MS-Word in either Full-page or Page width view. This is not the recommended view from FS. I do this because at work we deal with a lot of text formatting and my co-workers find "Normal layout" to be a problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Taking a survey? The answer is yes. At work, my Num Lock is on 98% of the time. I am much more efficient at entering numerical data using the Num Pad than the top row of numbers. In fact, I found it quite annoying when JAWS began turning the Num lock off. I recommended to FS that this should having JAWS turn off the num lock should be a user configurable setting.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
On the rare occasion I use a calculator, I use the num pad rather than the top row of numbers because I can enter the numbers more quickly using it. The only talking calculator I ever owned had the same key configuration as the num pad. I still prefer using my noggin, but every now and then I get a case of the galloping lazies and break down and use the calculator.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Hello to the List, I am Eric Damery, the Product Manager for JAWS and have been reading some of the posts recently. While I don't have the time to answer or comment on everything, I will try to on some of these topics such as this NumPad subject. The ability to toggle numlock on and off letting you use the Number Pad as both a Number pad and Screen Reading Keys has always been a plus in JAWS I think. As many of you mentioned, inputting numbers from the NumPad is much easier for many than the number row, yours truly included. I especially appreciate the message that requested an option in JAWS to stop turning it off by default every time you launch the computer. While this is not in the UI of JAWS today, there is a setting in the default.jcf file under "options" called "Initial NumLock State" which could be changed (set it to number 2) which will tell JAWS to stop changing it at start up. If you are interested in getting that set up now, let us know and I will right down some steps that will help you get this into your user folder correctly. We are still working on the Start Up Wizard feature being expanded in JAWS 9. I will talk with some others here and see about adding this adjustment to the UI in that wizard. I think this will make it fairly easy for anyone to change in the future when they decide on laptop versus desktop and so on. Hope this is helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Eric, It is great to know that you are spending a little time monitoring this very useful list. When I first switched from JAWS 6.x to 8.0 the num lock being toggled off was very annoying to me. Although I have gotten use to it, I would be interested in knowing how to change this setting so I can control the num lock. I did make the suggestion to JAWS technical support to make this a user control option when trying to figure out what was going on with my num lock. The representative couldn't understand why a blind person would want to use the num pad for anything other than JAWS navigation. I hope that the num pad on / off option does make it into a future version of the JAWS UI. I for one like having control of my settings. Of course then when I screw something up, I have no one to blame but myself.

I especially appreciate the message that requested an option in JAWS to stop turning it off by default every time you launch the computer. While this is not in the UI of JAWS today, there is a setting in the default.jcf file under "options" called "Initial NumLock State" which could be changed (set it to number 2) which will tell JAWS to stop changing it at start up. If you are interested in getting that set up now, let us know and I will right down some steps that will help you get this into your user folder correctly. We are still working on the Start Up Wizard feature being expanded in JAWS 9. I will talk with some others here and see about adding this adjustment to the UI in that wizard. I think this will make it fairly easy for anyone to change in the future when they decide on laptop versus desktop and so on. Hope this is helpful.

[JAWS-Users] Need some reassurance, I think
Hi all, If ever I discover anything that I think is useful, then I will post it to the lists, and never beforehand. I appreciate that some of these "tips" may be confusing for novices, and I will explain these technical terms in the future, but let me reassure you that I will only post anything that I think is not only useful to me, but also to the others. For example, before I posted about manually starting JAWS as a service, I tried it on my own computer before deciding to post it, and it worked, so I can guarantee that it will work on at least most systems.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS-Excel documents looking like crap.
It's been a long time since I've done this, but I seem to remember you have to make sure the grid lines are turned on in the format menus. Also you have to do a page setup to aline the length of the spreadsheet to fit the page. It was a trickey process for me at the time and I am not sure if Jaws has perfected this in later versions for this program. I had a spreadsheet to come out in a small area on the page.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Hi Kurt, If you go into the Start Menu, Programs, JAWS 8, Explore JAWS, "Explore My Settings" you will probably find that you have a file here called "Default.jcf". If so, move to the file and press the Application Key to get a context menu. Now, choose "Open with submenu" and open it with Notepad. Now, look for the [Options] section in the file. If you find it, move under that line, insert a blank line and paste in the following line: numlock=2|Num lock Then, save the file and close it. From then on, when you boot up the num lock will remain how it was when you shut down. If you did not find [Options] in the file, you can move to the bottom of the file and add the following to lines: [Options] numlock=2|Num lock Hope you understand. If not, just wait till the 9.0 release and let me see what we can do to get this as an option in the UI for you.

Hi Yes I use it quite a bit, an example is when I have to enter all my bankk details to go on line etc. I find it easier than feeling around the number row. The only problem being that you must remember that the num lock is switched on or you run into problems when ou wish to use the mumpad for other jaws commands, numbers go in where they should not.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Registry Mechanic
Hello Lisa, Registry Mechanic is not free. It costs $29.95 for a single computer. I have no idea how it works with Jaws 6, but I would think it would not be any different with your version and Jaws 8. You will have to use the Jaws cursor. You are right. You should not go into your window registry unless you are properly trained to do so. One wrong mistake and you may not be able to reboot your computer. I guess that is why we depend on a software to do the job for us. But according to Lenny McHugh's post on this subject, a few days ago, not all registry cleaners are alike and some may even mess up your registry. That is why I have not yet purchased any registry cleaners. I did run CCleaner to remove some entries in my registry. You can download CCleaner at David's web site under programs.

[JAWS-Users] jaws losing voice
Hi All, I finally have a good lead on the problem of jaws losing voice. The problem very randomly occurs where jaws volume drops to about 1 or 2 per cent is very tinny and is only out of one speaker. I had suspected spyware interfering but now have a totally different thought. After talking to a friend who owns a computer repair shop, I now believe that is a hardware problem. The next time it happens he wants me to lightly tap the sound card. In the mean time I think I will activate the on board sound card and dedicate it to jaws. It may also be a mother board problem but the sound card is suspected. The reason spyware was perceived to be the culprit was that after running spybot and the like the problem would go away. This intermittent problem has been driving me crazy for a few months, and for me it is a very short trip.

Gees, this is total hogwash and I mean no disrespect to you Frederick. have no doubt that you may have run a registry cleaner that totally fouled up your PC so it could not boot again, but a new computer was not necessary. You could have taken the OS software that should have come with your old PC and re-installed it onto your system drive. I'm so sorry to tell you this, but somebody really took advantage of you.

how true, just because the registry gets corrupted. its not the cause to buy a new PC. its the sign of reinstalling the op and going from there.

It was a windows 98 machine with 128 MB of ram and a 20 GB hard drive running at 300 MHz. It really was being pushed pretty hard with the programs I had loaded on it so the registry cleaner just hastened the end a little. God bless, Frederick God loves you!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Hi, I know that this subject is getting old, but forgive me, David. I need to put my two cents in. Like Russ, I too was an accountant before going into computer programming. I used to use a calculator and my fingers would fly over the number pad. What I am trying to say is that it makes perfect sense to use the NumPad keys for entering numbers in Excel or any other applications. The top row was, I think, designed for typewriters which most standard keyboards today are. I, in my old days I used to use a keypunch machine to punch 80 cards for my programs and the layout was similar to today's standard keyboards. (Good grief! I am giving out my age smile!) The IBM DOS screen reader had its own keypad for commands and you did not have to worry about whether NumLock was on or off. Sorry David to get off topics, but I thought that everyone should know how important the NumPad keys are for entering numbers and Jaws commands. I wish there was a way for Jaws to automatically tell me whether NumLock is off or on without hitting the NumLock key each time when I go to use it. Thanks for letting me put in my two cents! ;Lennie At 10:20 AM 6/27/2007, you wrote: >Sue >I use the numeric keypad frequently to key longer strings of numbers >such as telephone numbers, SS numbers, or credit card numbers.

Hi I've been using jaws for many years now stating with jaws 3.0. I'm using jaws with vista and been experiencing some lag in response. I'm not sure if its my keyboard, or jaws itself, but everytime I do anything with the keyboard, IE, hitting insert t for the title, I dont get an response from jaws right away. I've checked the response delay of my keyboard in control pannel, and its set at 100 percent response rate, bet I'm still having a lag. Is my problem jaws, or keyboard. I'm using windows Vista home Premium on dell domention E520.

Re: [JAWS-Users] *****SPAM***** Re: MS-Excel documents looking like crap.
JAWS does now have a way of getting a list of all of the cells that fall along a page break. I used it once, but it was a bit time consuming, so I reverted back to sighted help. Maybe if I had to do this more often, I would develop a system of using this and become much faster at it.

It's been a long time since I've done this, but I seem to remember you have to make sure the grid lines are turned on in the format menus. Also you have to do a page setup to aline the length of the spreadsheet to fit the page. It was a trickey process for me at the time and I am not sure if Jaws has perfected this in later versions for this program. I had a spreadsheet to come out in a small area on the page.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Most laptops have an embedded number pad in the QWERTY keyboard.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using numberpad for number input
Hi: I am the odd ball as usual. I type letters and numbers all day at work, and I use the top row of numbers. When I was a child, i had a calculator that had the same keypad configuration as a touch tone telephone. I loved that, and if numpads were set up like that, I would probably use it, but to me, the numpad is backward. I hated stretching for those top row of keys until I started my job. I am used to using the numpad at home for JAWS commands as this keybord is set up a bit differently. Now if I could just get rid of those extra backslashes that are on it.
