Re: [JAWS-Users] IE8 Sluggishness
Hi, you say: I've made sure JAWS is set up to keep forms mode off until I turn it on manually ... How? Have you disabled AutoForms Mode in the Internet Explorer Config manager? Then try turning it off in the default. For my purposes, AutoForms Mode is too much of a gimmick, most of the time. - Original Message - From: Lisa Belville missktlab1...@verizon.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 2:50 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] IE8 Sluggishness Hi, all. I have a similar problem as the one reported below. I've been using JAWS 10 latest update with IE 8 and XP Home for several weeks and what I've noticed the most is that forms mode will turn on as a page is opening without JAWS indicating it is on.

Re: [JAWS-Users] IE8 Sluggishness
I had similar problems getting rid of unwanted Forms Mode in the beginning, when i updated through the JAWS10 beta cycle to the released version of JAWS10. What i then did, although there were other reasons as well, was: uninstall JAWS10 and remove its folders, then reinstall JAWS10 from the CD. that solved the Forms mode issue, so that forms Mode on or off has worked correctly - apart from where, In firefox perhaps, I have to use Forms mode or else subscribing to Live Bookmarks doesn't (or didn't) work properly for me. There was a change to how Forms Mode operated during the beta cycle for JAWS10, if you go back that far. So, if you have the tenacity and patience and think it's worth it, you could go through with the complete removal of JAWS10 and then reinstall it, either using the current Web download version or starting with the CD version.

There will inevitably be some loss in this process, but I can't explain the technical reasons why this is true.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I access the formula palette in excel?
Hello Perry, I am using JAWS 10 and Excel 2007. The methods might be a little different for earlier versions of Excel and/or JAWS. To hear the formula spoken use JAWS key with CTRL and function key 2. JAWS key is the big zero key on the number pad when number lock is off. If using the laptop configuration then use the caps lock key with CTRL and F2 to hear the formula spoken. If you hold down the JAWS key with CTRL key and press F2 twice, the formula will be shown in a dialog box. You can use JAWS key B to read the box or use the JAWS cursor to read it. Use escape key to dismiss the dialog. Another way to read the formula is to move to the cell that contains the formula and press function key 2 to move into edit mode. Press home key to move to the beginning of the formula and then use right arrow key if you want to read it character by character. use escape key to move out of the edit mode. If I remember correctly, in earlier versions of Excel and JAWS the command to hear the formula was just CTRL with function key 2. Holding down CTRL and pressing function key 2 twice would bring focus to the formula bar where you could use arrow keys to review the formula. Take care.

After fixing a few glitches, I'm now at a loss as to how I can get directly into Windows. It stops at the Log-on screen and just says my name and I click Enter several times before it goes any further. Any suggestions regarding the solution of this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Of course you can convert any sund file to .wav format, which would be the uncompressed form of any audio file. Switch is okay, but Goldwave will also convert, as will most pro-level sound programs, such as CoolEdit or Sonic Forge. There will inevitably be some loss in this process, but I can't explain the technical reasons why this is true. I only know that if you have two identical sound files, both in .wav format, then compress one of them to mp3 and then decompress it back to wave file, it will sound worse than the unaltered wave file. In my studio, I use Goldwave for most simple conversion tasks. I use Sonic Forge for more complex work, and Cakewalk Pro 9 as my digital audio recorder/mixer.

Hello Greg, I'm not sure that you can convert anything to .wav, but if it is at all possible, you could try using switch, from nch software. You can download a free version and it works well with jaws, even jaws 10. The paid version has more functions, but .wav is the raw sound format, as far as I know and that's why I'm not sure whether you can convert anything back to that, if already reduced to a lesser quality format.

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader Program. So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently. Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is perfectly fine. The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly. Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval. Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done for your protection. The message list might state that there is an attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them. When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 450 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here. Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not receive an answer for a number of reasons. Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you will find the group web address along with some other relevant information pertaining to contacting the management team ETC. Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be a member of the list and remove your email address. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help dying kids, should ever be forwarded to the list. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! My hope
