[JAWS-Users] converting rar files to zip
I'm totally stumped I know I have converted Rar files to Zip but I can't remember what I did. I use Winrar corporate, perhaps I need WinZip to do this? Thanks Steven. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] converting rar files to zip
Hello Steven, I'm also using the winrar corporate edition, but I don't think the conversion is done with winrar itself. Just extract the rar file with winrar and then, select the extracted file and via the applications menu, use the send to, folder to compress it to a zip file. It says something like: In order to compress this to a zip file it must be associated with compressed zip folders. Currently it's not the case. Do you want to associate it... then choose yes and it zips it up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook 2007
Hello John, I am not sure if my previous message got to the list. Here is the information i sent about accessing attachments in Outlook 2007. When focus is on a message with an attachment just press the application key followed by the letter H. Focus will move to the attachments list. Use up and down arrow keys if you have more than one attachment. Press enter key to open the attachment. To save an attachment use Alt+F for the file menu followed by the letter N. This will put you in the list of attachments to be saved. Take care. Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net - Original Message - From: John W.

[JAWS-Users] using windows media player

Re: [JAWS-Users] using windows media player
Hello, If memory serves me right. Go into the folder of songs, select all the songs you'd like to put onto the cd, press the applications key, enter on add to windows media player list. A song will begin playing, just do CTRL S to stop it, tab down to the burn button space bar on that, tab to the burn button menu, space bar on that and I believe it will ask or say burn cd or something, I can't remember from there on.

Re: [JAWS-Users] using windows media player
here is one way to do this by no means I am not a authority. open the list of songs and cut them to the clip board now go to the drive you have the cd to burn your product now cut them to that drive and windows player will open up and now hit burn button. I am sure some folks will have more info on this I can do it better than I can explain it. - Original Message - From: Kathy Pingstock kpingst...@zoominternet.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 10:13 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] using windows media player I have created some playlist in a folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws terms
I seem to remember a tool built into HJPad. Open the Tools menu, open the Sample dialogues submenu, then I think it's called tree view sample. This shows you all the Windows elements, including controls, and once an item is selected in the tree tabbing to the read only edit field will read the entire definition. Oh yes, you must either select physical or functional description once the control is selected. So open the item, arrow to physical or functional description, tab to the field, and you can find out what that particular item either looks like or how it functions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] escape button
Hi, Here is an easy test for that questionable escape key. You can use JawsKeyboardHelp by pressing the keystroke Jawskey plus numrow1 and then press the escape key to find out its function. Jaws will tell you what that key, and most other keystrokes is supposed to do. and if you hear nothing the keyboard is probably damaged. You toggle this mode off by pressing JawsKey plus Numrow1 again. This will work even with your key echo set to none.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws terms
Hi, Here's a link from the Freedom Scientific web site describing controls which have to do with the Internet, maybe it'll help a bit in other situations. This address is rather long so what usually works with Jaws is to arrow to the right on the link until you get beyond the two slashes in the link, RouteJawsToPcCursor with JawsKey plus NumpadDash or the bottom-most left key on the Numpad and the Top-right-most keys together. JFW will say RouteJawsToPc or similar, Then click the LeftMouseButton which is right above NumRow8 which is the same as the Uparrow on the numpad. The file you're downloading is a zip file containing one of the training .mp3 files.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Punctuation Off!
Hi Victoria, You will need to use the Configuration Manager for this as follows since the Exclaim: is on by default, even with Punctuation set to none. You do this from within the application you wish to change punctuation for. I don't know what program you are reading in but if (when you open config manager) you get a new configuration dialog, press enter to create one for the current application. If you don't, then the one which exists for say Notepad or Ms-Word for example will load automatically when you do the following. 1. Open the Config Manager with jawsKey plus Numrow6. 2. Press alt plus the letter S followed by the letter P to open the Customize punctuation dialog. 3. The first item in the list is Exclaim and is set to all. Tab once and you have a group of punctuation level radio buttons with the all radio button already selected which says what level of punctuation category that symol is assigned to. 4. Press downarrow for none and press enter. 5. Save your changes with Control plus s and alt plus F4 closes the manager. Hope this does the trick and there is a Restore Default button in that same dialog if you don't like the results.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Punctuation Off!
Hi Victoria and others, I was completely wrong about the punctuation thinking that all meant it was on for all situations, even if that's not what I said.
