Re: [JAWS-Users] Another word question
Hi Vicky, I'm not sure what you have tried at this point, so please excuse me if any of my below suggestions have already been given. Use Insert+F to learn what is going on under the cursor. I think if you select a portion of text and then you execute this command you will get different info, but I'm not 100% about this. Use Insert+F1 You will get different info if you have any text selected or nothing selected. Under Tools menu, Options, View tab you can turn on different editing codes so that you can see them in your document. Let me warn you that this can be a lot of chatter from JAWS as you are moving through the document. Does any of this begin to address what you are trying to do?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another word question
Hi Vicki, I don't remember your original post so I am not sure which version of Word you are using. If you are using Word 2003 then you can select all text by using CTRL+A. After selecting all text, use Alt+CTRL+N to change all text to the normal style. If you have NVDA on your computer then that keystroke might not work. If the keystroke doesn't work then after selecting all text use CTRL+shift+S to bring up the combo box containing the styles. You can use up or down arrow keys in the list of styles until you find the normal style choice and then press enter key. You can also use up arrow in the combo box to the top of the list of styles and use the clear all formatting to change all the text to the normal style. If you find that up and down arrow keys don't work right then use Alt+down arrow to force the combo box to open and use the up and down arrow keys to the normal style choice or the clear all formats choice. If you are using Word 2007 then press Alt key followed by H followed by E to clear all formatting after you have selected all text. You can also press Alt+CTRL+shift+S or use Alt followed by H followed by F followed by Y to open the styles pane. The first button in focus should be the clear all button so press enter key to perform the clear all function. You might need to use F6 to move to the styles pane to close it after clearing all formatting. After using F6 to move to the styles pane, use CTRL+spacebar and then use down arrow to the close choice and press enter key. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Issues with JAWS9,
Hi folks, lately when I have an e-mail open and click on a link, internet explorer doesn't open it. I find I need to go to IE open it and then past the link. Sometimes if I do open a link from some e-mails, JAWS starts not reading the unread e-mails and won't say the names of the icons on my desktop folder. I often have to unload and then restart JAWS. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 10 Upper Case Indication in MS Word
All, I'm trying to configure Eloquence and JAWS 10.1154 so that it will indicate upper case letters with a high pitched voice rather than saying cap whenever I'm reading or typing. I've had it configured this way for O.e. for several versions of JAWS, and I've gotten JAWS 8 to say upper case letters with the higher pitch in MS Word as well. I tried comparing the JAWS 10.X settings I have in OE with those in Word, but so far, I haven't found any that achieve the results. I'm sure I'm over looking something very simple.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another word question
Hi Vicki, Unfortunately, if built-in styles have been used in the document then not just the font and size attributes will be affected. Left alignment is part of the normal style. Even if you modify the normal style for the current document or create a new style, the choices for alignment are still left, right, centered or justify. In modifying or creating a new style, I can't find any option for excluding the alignment attribute. A style is made up of specific attributes such as font type, font name, font size, text alignment, and other attributes. When you change a style then you are choosing to change to all the given attributes. However, if you select everything in the document and then just change the things that you want as uniform such as font type and font size then you shouldn't lose such things as indentation or tabs. Also, the keystroke I gave in the last message of Alt+CTRL+N changes to normal view not normal style as I thought. It had been a long time since I used the keystroke and obviously I didn't remember its function correctly. Again, if you want to leave certain attributes of styles used and change others then you should not use a uniform style. For example, if you use CTRL+D to bring up the font list, just choosing the font you want to be uniform and pressing enter will work. If you want everything at 12 point then pressing CTRL+shift+P will take focus right to the point sizes where you can make your choice. Of course, the changes will affect either what you have selected or what you type after making the changes, but such things as indentation and tabs shouldn't be affected. If you would like to discuss this further off list then feel free to write me at my Email address shown below. Take care.

If you are using Word 2003 then you can select all text by using CTRL+A. After selecting all text, use Alt+CTRL+N to change all text to the normal style. If you have NVDA on your computer then that keystroke might not work. If the keystroke doesn't work then after selecting all text use CTRL+shift+S to bring up the combo box containing the styles. You can use up or down arrow keys in the list of styles until you find the normal style choice and then press enter key. You can also use up arrow in the combo box to the top of the list of styles and use the clear all formatting to change all the text to the normal style. If you find that up and down arrow keys don't work right then use Alt+down arrow to force the combo box to open and use the up and down arrow keys to the normal style choice or the clear all formats choice. If you are using Word 2007 then press Alt key followed by H followed by E to clear all formatting after you have selected all text. You can also press Alt+CTRL+shift+S or use Alt followed by H followed by F followed by Y to open the styles pane. The first button in focus should be the clear all button so press enter key to perform the clear all function. You might need to use F6 to move to the styles pane to close it after clearing all formatting. After using F6 to move to the styles pane, use CTRL+spacebar and then use down arrow to the close choice and press enter key. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 10 Upper Case Indication in MS Word
Hello Lisa, If you open configuration manager and go into the text processing choices, the capitalization indication list gives four choices. The choices are for indication by character/spell, character and word, character word and line or none. If you pick the fourth one in the list, (which is for indication by character, word and line), and save changes to the configuration, then JAWS will read lines in the upper case voice when you move line by line in your document. If you want changes to apply in all programs then load the default configuration manager by using CTRL+shift+D when you open a given application's configuration manager. Open configuration manager using JAWS key 6. Use Alt+S for settings menu. Text processing is a menu choice in that menu. The amount of pitch difference between the normal and capitalization indication can be changed in the global voices dialog box in the JAWS window. It is set at 20% higher than pitch for the normal voice. If you increase percentage then the difference in pitch between the PC cursor voice and the capitalization indication voice increases.

Hi, Brian. I can make those changes, but JAWS is still saying Cap before each instance of upper case letters. I know there's an upper case voice because if I go into the voices submenu, there's a control to specify the pitch of the upper case voice.

Re: [JAWS-Users] editing problems in word 2003
Ctrl-alt-j is not strictly necessary here, since ctrl-shift-j or any other shortcut key combination that was set up to start JAWS will do so. - Original Message - From: Annette Carr amca...@verizon.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] editing problems in word 2003 When JAWS will not read I frequently have problems with JAWS not speaking portions of a word or line, entire lines, and multiple lines when in MS-Word and composing an e-mail in Outlook. 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. I have a theory that the mouse is some how interfering with the info JAWS is trying to retrieve to read. So I 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 have found that Arial 12 works well. 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.

The difficulty is when reviewing text or when editing - words go missing. similar to this blank blank line. Sometimes if I go letter by letter I can spell the word out, but this is not normal! I have just reviewed settings of xp and made sure they are in place, but other than normal checked and zoom at 75% what else can I check or uncheck?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another word question
hi Vicky are you saving the document each time you've altered it? sounds to me like you have a different style as default than the normal default one if you see what I mean. or could the document be saved originally as read only? this would be also why the document wont save with the normal style. can't think of anything else this could be to be honest.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 10 Upper Case Indication in MS Word
Hello Lisa, I think that what you are looking for is in the Speech and Sound Manager under the miscellaneous page tab. The speech and sound manager can be opened from the settings menu in the configuration manager. Pick the classic scheme in the list of schemes and tab to the edit button. Press enter on the button. Move to the miscellaneous page using CTRL+tab key. In the list you will hear all caps speak text using all caps voice. Use tab to the radio buttons and the second one should be the checked one. (speak text with this item using voice). Move back to the list and use down arrow key. You will hear cap speak text using single cap voice Tab to the radio buttons. If the top button is checked you will hear cap announced the way you do now. Use down arrow to the second radio button, (speak text with this item using voice). Press enter on the OK button a time or two and you will be told that you haven't saved changes. Answer yes to saving the change. Hopefully, this is what you are needing. Take care.

I can make those changes, but JAWS is still saying Cap before each instance of upper case letters. I know there's an upper case voice because if I go into the voices submenu, there's a control to specify the pitch of the upper case voice. I just can't get JAWS 10 to read using this voice rather than saying cap. Lisa The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

The choices are for indication by character/spell, character and word, character word and line or none. If you pick the fourth one in the list, (which is for indication by character, word and line), and save changes to the configuration, then JAWS will read lines in the upper case voice when you move line by line in your document. If you want changes to apply in all programs then load the default configuration manager by using CTRL+shift+D when you open a given application's configuration manager. Open configuration manager using JAWS key 6. Use Alt+S for settings menu. Text processing is a menu choice in that menu. The amount of pitch difference between the normal and capitalization indication can be changed in the global voices dialog box in the JAWS window. It is set at 20% higher than pitch for the normal voice. If you increase percentage then the difference in pitch between the PC cursor voice and the capitalization indication voice increases. Take care.
