Re: [JAWS-Users] Create New folder
I have never used alt F5. However the following will work to create a folder both in a Windows Explorer window and the save dialogue box in Word 2003. In both cases make sure you are in folder list. In word press shift tab to get there in the save as dialogue box. Press F5 to make sure nothing is selected. Press the application key. Select new and then folder from the context menu. Type in the name of the folder to replace new folder created . Press enter to create the folder with the new name. Press enter again to enter the folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Create New folder
Hello Shirley, When you open the "save as" dialog box the edit box for typing a file name is in focus. Do three shift+tabs and then three left arrow keystrokes to get to the "create new folder" button. Press enter key or spacebar on the button. You can also get the new folder dialog by doing a pass-through keystroke first (JAWS key plus 3 on the alphanumeric part of the keyboard) and then the Alt+5. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS conflict with Office 2007
I am using JAWS 11 on a Dell laptop, running Vista The problem began when we did some things to try to speed up a sluggish computer. When JAWS is running, I cannot start MS Word or Excell. I can start JAWS after MS Word is running, and it works, but I cannot use Excell at all. Other Office programs run fine: IE, Outlook The error message says Windows is looking online for a solution, but then I get no answer, just the option to close the program I did a repair on JAWS with no success. I tried a system restore, but that did not help. MS office was updated during the earlier process, so it is current. Below is a list of things we did during the process of trying to improve computer performance. Maybe that will give you an idea of something we can do. Perhaps the final solution will be to reinstall MS Office, but I am hoping someone might have a better idea before I go to that option. Here is the list of things I did as I tried to increase computer performance: 1) Disabled almost all plug ins in Internet Explorer except plug ins by Microsoft or Adobe. 2) Ran Microsoft update. There were no critical or hardware updates. Also updated MS Office. 3) Defragmented the hard drive. 4) Updated the anti-virus database. 5) Uninstalled various programs including, but not limited to: Google Desktop, everything by Google except Google Earth. 6) Viewed startup items, in particular items initiated by Windows registry keys. Unchecked a few items I'm pretty sure I unchecked Windows Media Player if it was on the list. There was an HP web printing program I disabled or uninstalled. 7) In one of the configuration windows concerning bootup, it was configured to do a special boot process. I changed it to a "Normal" boot process, but I later noticed it had gone back to a previous value. I'm not sure what that was all about. 8) I changed performance settings from "automatic" to "optimized for performance." This removed many special effects about window shading, button styles, etc. The environment appeared more similar to older versions of Windows. 9) Went into the C drive properties, unchecked the box that said something like "index for faster searching", and I instructed it to apply the settings to all subfolders and files. I went into the Indexing control panel menu and limited indexing to the fewest possible files. I also explicitly removed indexing for files with extensions .pst, .psm, and .xml. After this change, Outlook provided a warning saying that the indexing was not being run against outlook. I acknowledged the warning and instructed Outlook not to produce the warning again. 10) I disabled the Indexing service. 11) Installed the newest Adobe Reader. I didn't explicitly uninstall the previous one, so I hope the installer was smart enough not to mess that up. When I started, the laptop had instability issues with Internet Explorer, ran slower than I would have expected, and occasionally the explorer.exe process would lock up when you try to click on the Start menu. It would take a full minute or two before the start menu would start working again. The hard drive access light appeared to be unusually active during this period of time. The most effective changes may have been: disabling Internet Explorer add-ons; uninstalling Google Desktop (it performs a duplicate service to Windows Indexing), disabling the fancy Vista graphics, and disabling Indexing. I don't know how much Indexing really affected the performance, but I didn't like a laptop randomly accessing the hard drive beyond normal usage. However, it is enabled, it probably won't slow things down much. Without knowing exactly how JAWS works, I suspect the following changes are the most likely to have caused trouble, starting with the most likely: 1) I might have accidentally uninstalled or disabled startup of a program that JAWS relied on (possibly due to conditions previously unknown). 2) When I upgraded MS Office, that broke the interaction with JAWS 3) By changing the Vista graphics, I broke the interface between JAWS and the windows graphics. 4) By uninstalling programs, a random file was changed or deleted, possibly a dll. Google Desktop may have touched files somewhat deep in Windows. Shortly before I left, I started to take special note of a process that had the name "proxy." I believe that the process was executed by JAWS, but after JAWS exits, the proxy continues to run. As a guess, I suspect that it might act as a proxy to standard windows library API calls, allowing JAWS to do what it needs to do. I would not be surprised if it is extremely difficult or impossible to safely end this process, which may be why JAWS leaves it running. Every time I saw the minute or two delay for the start menu to appear, I believe this process was running. Therefore, for the best performance, it may be necessary to reboot the laptop every time JAWS is closed. There are a ton of programs that run on startup. Most of them don't do much
Re: [JAWS-Users] CBOE Options Tutorial
Hi Brian, Thanks for your tips. I went through tutorial 1 but I cannot seem to navigate to tutorial 2. Any ideas? link Ann - Original Message - From: "Brian Lee" To: Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 7:58 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] CBOE Options Tutorial Hi Ann, If you use down arrow a couple times from the top of each page, (go to the top by using CTRL+home), you will hear the subject of the page. Pressing the letter "N" either from the top of each page or from the subject near the top will move focus right under the table and right to the pertinent information. I might suggest that you put a placemarker at the position of the "next" link, which is an image link. If you do that then you will just need to press the letter "K" to move directly to the "next" button and you can press enter key on the "next" button. This will take a minute or two on the first page but will prove helpful on all subsequent pages. Here is how to do it: 1.Find the "images/next" button. You can use insert+F7 to list links, press the end key to move to the bottom of the list and then up arrow to the "images/next" link. Use tab key to the "move to link" choice and press enter key. 2.Use shift+CTRL+K to bring up the placemarkers dialog. 3.Tab to the "add" button and press spacebar. 4.The name box should be filled in with "Images/Next" so tab to the box for defining the placemarker for all pages in the current domain and check the box by using spacebar if it is not checked. 5.Tab to the box that lets you anchor the placemarker to text and use spacebar to check the box. 6.Tab to the OK button and use spacebar. After doing the above process you can just press the letter "K" every time you want to get to the "next" button on any page in the domain and pressing enter key will activate the button. In summary, pressing the letter "n" will move focus directly to the information you want to hear on each page in the domain. Once a placemarker has been created then you can just press the letter "k" on each page to move to the "next" button and pressing enter key will activate it. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Any suggestions.
In XP pressing windows key and the pause button will bring up system information. I am not sure of previous OS though. If you go to My computer and look for properties by pressing alt enter or the application key you should get some information. Presumably you will need to be running Narrator as Jaws is not working. I have just checked and Narrator will read the desired information but will take a while getting around to it as it reads all the tab labels first.

[JAWS-Users] Track Changes for Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007
Hi, My friend told me there is a "Track Changes" in Microsoft Word 2003. Description of this function: At the bottom of the Word window, you double click an icon that says TK. It seems that when you add or delete text from the document, or change formatting, like bullets and indent, it will show up. When you add text, the text is underlined and is different colour. When you delete, they draw a dotted arrow pointing to where it was deleted from, and at the side of the document, they put a speech balloon saying what was deleted. My friend still have some sight left so he described to me the above. Can JAWS tell you all these information? How do you go about achieving it? Last question, is this Track Changes still available for Word 2007. If so, where may one find it? Thank you.
