Re: [JAWS-Users] IE8 and focus question
Hi Brad; Try doing the following to see if it helps; 1. Press Jaws / insert key + V, for Jaws options. 2. Press the letter " F " until you land on " Focus loss announcement . 3. If this is off, press the spacebar to turn it on. 4. Press enter or, tab to close & press enter. Hope this helps. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Ie 9 beta
This is what Microsoft has to say about IE 9 beta and accessibility technology. Suggest you read all notes on IE 9 beta at microsoft.com before you install it with JAWS. This is from Microsoft.com web information. Internet Explorer 9 Beta and Assistive Technology At this time Internet Explorer 9 is not fully functional with some Assistive Technology. Web pages appear blank when using screen review commands such as the JAWS cursor or Window-Eyes Mouse Pointer. This is caused by the use Direct2D for rendering. There is no workaround at this time, but the Internet Explorer team is working with Assistive Technology vendors to resolve this issue. Font Smoothing from screen magnifiers such as ZoomText no longer works in Internet Explorer 9. Magnification still works, but font smoothing does not. There is no workaround for this issue. Text in edit boxes is unable to be edited when using Window-Eyes screen reader. Text within edit boxes cannot be read by Window-Eyes when Browse Mode is off. There is no workaround at this time but we are working with GW Micro to resolve this issue. Problems reading web content using JAWS Virtual PC mode. When reading web content using JAWS Virtual PC mode, there are two issues you might notice. One issue is that some webpage content and some form controls such as radio buttons or check boxes are missing. The other issue you might see is multiple blank lines and space characters when reading webpages. Using Compatibility View can resolve the issue. To turn on Compatibility View, press Alt+D and tab to the Compatibility View button, or press Alt+T, v from the Internet Explorer menus. Notification Bar popups are not read by all Assistive Technology software. The new Internet Explorer 9 Notification bar replaces the Internet Explorer 8 Information Bar. Many notifications are available in the notification bar including downloads, blocked popups, password manager, and add-on notifications. Not all Assistive Technology are able to detect that a notification bar is present, or read the bar if focus is placed in it. As a partial workaround, you can turn on Internet Explorer sounds to get notified that a notification bar is present (Tools Menu - Internet Options - Advanced - check Play System sounds). To place focus in the notification bar please press Alt+N. Internet Explorer Sounds are off by Default Sounds have been turned off in Internet Explorer9. You can turn them back on by going to Tools Menu - Internet Options - Advanced - check Play System sounds. Hotkey changes A few hotkeys have changed in Internet Explorer 9: a.. Ctrl+J now will open the Internet Explorer download manager instead of opening feeds. You can open feeds in Internet Explorer 9 with Ctrl+G. b.. Ctrl+E now places focus in the address bar because the search box has been combined with the address bar. When you press Ctrl+E, focus is placed in the address bar with a question mark and space already populated for you. You can search from the Internet Explorer 9 address bar the same way you searched from the Internet Explorer 8 search box with the exception that in Internet Explorer 9 beta you can’t change the search provider as is described below in Issue 589118. Site Mode and Pinning When a site is pinned to the taskbar, the site icon is displayed at top-left region of the frame, clearly indicating the site’s presence.

No, you will disable all the programs. When you hit enter on that button nothing will be checked in the list. You might use this feature if you have a long list of programs that boot at start up.

The question is according to what I noticed doing a Google search windows mail contains it's own spell checking program, is this true or did I simply misunderstand the information I was reading and another peace of software is actually required? The best person to ask is possibly you Pauline. Does your spell checking feature in windows mail work properly?

[JAWS-Users] MS Excel Comments
Using XP Pro, MS Ofice 2003 and Jaws 12 here. When I am in Excel and insert a "comment" in a cell all is fine but aside from Jaws cursoring somewhere on the spreadsheet I don't know how to get out of that insert window. Is there some hot key or way of doing this efficiently? Tabbing, F6ing or CTRL F6ing doesn't work.I've not used comments as I ought because of this and would like to get it solved. Thanks for any help. Brad Brad Dunse The frst thgn they teach you n wrting s to keep focus off yourself by removing all the 's.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSconfig turning of start up programs
Hi Russ, If you tab to the, disable all, it will disable all items from starting up. Once you have disabled an item, tab to the apply, and spacebar that. Next, tab to the close, and spacebar that, you will be prompted to restart the computer, spacebar that as well. When the computer restarts, you will get a System Configuration Utility dialogue, tab to the checkbox, and spacebar that, then tab to the okay , and spacebar that and you are done.

Disable all will do what it says. Disable all the programs, even if you just checked them. For fastest start up, you will want to uncheck as many programs as possible. Windows will make sure that a minimum of programs are automatically checked for it to run. Then make sure your antivirus is checked. Uncheck everything else. Then, if you find something does not work right, you can always go back in and check that program to start up.
