hmmm, here's another way to do it using the eudora options links:

turn on the taboo headers (that is remove unnecessary headers)






and to get the headers back:



when you click on the links above, just tab through the controls and 
press enter on the o.k. button. eudora must be restarted for the 
change to take effect.\

Re: [JAWS-Users] Silverlight in control pannel

2011-02-28 Thread Don Marang 
I avoided Silverlight for a long time as well.  The initial releases 
provided no accessibility!  The latest version of Silverlight is fairly 
accessible.  It can probably be fully accessible if developed properly.


Silverlight started out as Microsoft's competition to streaming media with 
Flash and has grown to be an entire framework and libraries for developing 
full applications within Internet Explorer.  If it continues to catch on, it 
may be as hard to avoid as Flash.  Other than space required and even more 
updates, I have not seen any issues with installing Silverlight.


I know that Netflix requires the latest Silverlight.  I have heard that 
the interface is much more accessible than it used to be, including hotkeys.

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real 
substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working 
on things that matter.

Hi everyone,



Before I received an answer to my question about downloading/installing
Silverlight, I had done so.



I went to my control panel and found it there. Should I totally uninstall 
it

there?



Thanks,

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 problem

2011-02-28 Thread Brian Lee 
Hello Mike,

Here is what your friend can try to remove merging from all pairs of merged
cells:

1.  Select the range of cells starting with the first merged pair through
and including the last merged pair.  If the range is a10 through a100 then
use CTRL+G, type in a10:a100 and press enter key.
2.  Use CTRL+1 to open the Format Cells dialog box.
3.  Move to the alignment page tab by using CTRL+Tab key.
4.  Use tab key until the checkbox for merging cells is selected and use
spacebar to remove the checkmark.  Be sure to use spacebar until JAWS says
that the checkbox is not checked.  For some reason, I have had to press
spacebar a couple times to get the checkmark removed.  
5.  use tab key to the OK button and press enter key.
6.  Move to a10 and use down arrow key to make sure that merging has been
removed.

I am not sure what caused the merging of the pairs of cells.  If one pair
gets merged and then a range of cells gets selected and a function like
filling cells down the range happens then this might have been the result.  

Take care.

  Exactly!
  Mike: what I meant by hiding the update in a previous thread is what Rick 
describes here.
  No updates are automatically installed on my machine.
  I've configured Windows Update to download updates but notify me before 
installing.
  This approach enables me to reject updates I don't want on my machine.
  Silverlight and Windows Live Essentials 2011 etc show up under optional 
updates, but by hitting the application key you have the option to hide the 
update.
  I've done that for both Silverlight and WLE 2011.
  Then I'm sure it's not going to be installed by accident since it's not 
even in the list

  Hi Gerald,
  It is still an optional update from Microsoft, and if a person keeps track
  of what is being installed to their machine
  thru automatic updates, then there is no reason for it to get installed.
  On my Win7 machine, it has been de-selected and hidden as an optional
  update.
  You just have to be pro-active about what is being downloaded and 
installed
  to your machine, and that is why I don't
  let any program use automatic updating.

[JAWS-Users] Beginner to Excel question

2011-02-28 Thread Mike & Barbara In Arcadia 
Hi All;

Let me preface this by stating that I don't know sqwat about Excel but, I am 
now attempting to learn.  Here is my problem.  When I open a, .XLS file, my 
arrow keys don't work most of the time.  I thought that checking the box in 
the configuration manager for showing the virtual viewer on screen , might 
have fixed the problem.  Although, I don't have the slightest idea what 
checking that box could have done!  If I reboot the computer and open an, 
.XLS file, then the arrow keys will work.  I am running XP Home, Office 2002 
Home, & Jaws10 thru 12 latest.  Would someone please tell me what could be 
possibly wrong  to make these arrow keys not work correctly & consistently? 
I am using all the default settings, except for that virtual viewer thing. 
All help will be desperately appreciated / accepted.  This arrow thing is 
driving me up a freaking wall & Doctor Phil under his couch!  Thanks much. 
Take care.

You might check the state of the scroll lock key.  On a standard

the key twice quickly will change the state and JAWS will tell you the

I didn't mention that I am having this problem on 2 separate computers, that 
are connected by a KVM switch.  The ironic thing about Kurtis's suggestion 
is that I use the scroll lock button to go back & forth between the 2 
computers.  I can't hear the state of the scroll lock key because pressing 
it twice quickly is the keystroke that switches me back & forth between the 
2 computers!  What I did try that seems to work is, if I'm having Excel 
keystroke problems on 1 of the computers, I switch over to the other 
computer, then switch back & Excel keystrokes start working correctly again! 
I think I will try to assign a different keystroke  for the KVM switch. 
Since I'm just beginning to learn Excel, all notes will be saved and again, 
thank you both for your replies.  Take care.
Mike
P.S.  Thank you both for also saving me a trip to doctor Phil!  LOL

  Hi All;

  Let me preface this by stating that I don't know sqwat about Excel but, I 
am

  now attempting to learn.  Here is my problem.  When I open a, .XLS file, 
my
  arrow keys don't work most of the time.  I thought that checking the box 
in
  the configuration manager for showing the virtual viewer on screen , might
  have fixed the problem.  Although, I don't have the slightest idea what
  checking that box could have done!  If I reboot the computer and open an,
  .XLS file, then the arrow keys will work.  I am running XP Home, Office 
2002

  Home, & Jaws10 thru 12 latest.  Would someone please tell me what could be
  possibly wrong  to make these arrow keys not work correctly & 
consistently?
  I am using all the default settings, except for that virtual viewer thing.
  All help will be desperately appreciated / accepted.  This arrow thing is
  driving me up a freaking wall & Doctor Phil under his couch!  Thanks much.
  Take care.

Microsoft also requires it if you want to watch any of their videos. There
are 2 things I don't under stand with this though. First how do you get
thoughs videos to play, and well, the last time I tried it it said that it
didn't support 64 bit systems. 
Is that true any more? Aren't the videos supposed to just load on their
own?Am I missing something here?

To get into Contacts in Windows Live Mail, use control and the number 3. 
This will take you into the list. Find the one you want to delete and press 
delete. Confirm with ok and you will think it isn't done because you will 
think you are supposed to do ok again. Do not do this. Choose Cancel to end 
the operation. It is set up in such a way that once you begin, you could 
continue and not be hearing what you were deleting. To return to your list
