Re: [JAWS-Users] question about subscription
Wayne, I don't quite understand why you'd want to be able to do that, as if you weren't subscribed you wouldn't see anyone's replies. Anyway, the answer to your question is no. If you're not subscribed you can't post to the list.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem with Avast support
Hi George. In my past expderiences persistence has paid off. However, this was not true with Avast Support as I received my registration key immediately. But I think if you emailed Michael again and requested that a registration key be sent to you because you are blind, that you use a screen reader to read what is on the screen, and that the captia on the registration page is graphical and is not accessible to your screen reder, surely you will get a response from Michael or whoever writes you back. Also you should tell them it has been 2 weeks since you emailed them and that they haven't written you back with a registration key, and also send them the answers again to the questions they asked you the first time you tried to register. Also tell them you have been waiting for 2 weeks and that you haven't heard from them at all, repeating myself but that's okay. Sometimes it really pays off to be persistent when it comes to things like this. Hope this helps you out and looking to hear something positive has happened for you.

[JAWS-Users] Adobe Digital Editions
Our local libraries offer hundreds of PDF ebooks you can download and read on your PC. They have built-in DRM that enables the book to expire after the loan period is past. The service works through overdrive (same service that provides e-audio for patrons.) You can also download DRM-protected PDF books from netlibrary for loan and from fictionwise and amazon.com for purchase. I remember being able to read these in the past. I believe I simply downloaded the PDF, loaded it in to Acrobat 7, entered a password and the book was checked out to me. Then I could print it to the virtual printer of K1000 or An Open Book and all was good. Sometimes I could even read the book with JAWS. Sometimes, printing was disabled, but I could have my OCR software open the PDF. But since Acrobat reader is forever nagging you to upgrade, I updated to 8 and now version 9-something. You'd think the newer versions would be even more accessible, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Today, when you download a library book, you get a tiny .EDT file and you are advised to download Adobe Digital Editions. I was unable to fetch Digital Editions from the Adobe website, despite Adobe's insistance that the site is accessible. I googled around and read in the adobe forums that if you want screen reader support you need to downgrade to Adobe reader 7.9. But I'm pretty sure they've closed the loophole on printing, so I wonder if this will actually work. And if I do downgrade, will I loose other accessibility features? Has anyone found a way to read new ebooks, from libraries or from fictionwise using JAWS? Has anyone fooled with Digital Editions? And isn't it illegal for libraries to offer a service which used to be accessible but no longer is? --Debee Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to jaws-users-list-le...@jaws-users.com For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: jaws-users-list-requ...@jaws-users.com Use the following address in order to contact the management team jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: blind-computing-j...@jaws-users.com

yes. That is the only way (in Outlook Express) because the virtual cursor is otherwise not active there. In Internet Explorer and/or in PDF documents, however, it is always or potentially active. - Original Message - From: Mike Barbara mb69ma...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 6:41 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Also Having Problems Selecting,Copying and Pasting Text Hi All, To make the change Flor has spoke of in Jaws options, changing the copying selection from full content using on screen highlight to from virtual cursor, you have to be in an open message.

This is getting fairly troublesome, as I often do this type of copying and pasting to help friends with problems they may have, and where I find a relevant bit of text on the net that can help them. I'm using Jaws 10, latest build, Windows XP, Word 2003 and Outlook Express 6. As far as I know, all of my settings are configured properly with the configuration manager under highlighting options, and so I'm at a loss to understand why this is. I also have a problem where I am composing an e-mail, and, when I press the down arrow in combination with the shift key to select the text, the line will select, however, half of the words seem to be selected, as opposed to the word. I mean it's like that function, called smart highlighting or something like that, is turned off. I've also come across a time or two, where I want to highlight a few words in an e-mail message, whether reading to copy to another message, or just composing the message for copying and pasting to a spot further down in the message, or what ever, where, instead of the whole word being selected only, the entire word is selected, right along with half, or a few letters of the next word. Can anyone help me with this. Sorry for the long message, but I wasn't sure if those two things below were significant or not. Thanks all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe Digital Editions
Hello, I tried to use adobe digital editions and it was not accessible at all. I even called Freedom Scientific to see if there was a way to make it accessible and they had no idea what I was talking about. The only way I found to use adobe digital editions was to have someone who could see copy the text. When adobe upgraded to 8.x they took out the ability to read password protected pdf's. Sincerely, Greg W. - Original Message - From: Deborah Armstrong de...@jfcl.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 1:02 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Adobe Digital Editions Our local libraries offer hundreds of PDF ebooks you can download and read on your PC. They have built-in DRM that enables the book to expire after the loan period is past. The service works through overdrive (same service that provides e-audio for patrons.) You can also download DRM-protected PDF books from netlibrary for loan and from fictionwise and amazon.com for purchase. I remember being able to read these in the past. I believe I simply downloaded the PDF, loaded it in to Acrobat 7, entered a password and the book was checked out to me. Then I could print it to the virtual printer of K1000 or An Open Book and all was good. Sometimes I could even read the book with JAWS. Sometimes, printing was disabled, but I could have my OCR software open the PDF. But since Acrobat reader is forever nagging you to upgrade, I updated to 8 and now version 9-something. You'd think the newer versions would be even more accessible, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Today, when you download a library book, you get a tiny .EDT file and you are advised to download Adobe Digital Editions. I was unable to fetch Digital Editions from the Adobe website, despite Adobe's insistance that the site is accessible. I googled around and read in the adobe forums that if you want screen reader support you need to downgrade to Adobe reader 7.9. But I'm pretty sure they've closed the loophole on printing, so I wonder if this will actually work. And if I do downgrade, will I loose other accessibility features? Has anyone found a way to read new ebooks, from libraries or from fictionwise using JAWS? Has anyone fooled with Digital Editions? And isn't it illegal for libraries to offer a service which used to be accessible but no longer is? --Debee Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to jaws-users-list-le...@jaws-users.com For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: jaws-users-list-requ...@jaws-users.com Use the following address in order to contact the management team jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: blind-computing-j...@jaws-users.com Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to jaws-users-list-le...@jaws-users.com For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: jaws-users-list-requ...@jaws-users.com Use the following address in order to contact the management team jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: blind-computing-j...@jaws-users.com
