With focus in a list of messages, use Alt+F to click the file button. 2. Use Alt+T to open Outlook 2010 options. 3. use down arrow key to move to the Mail category or press M until you reach it. 4. Use tab key to the Signatures button and press spacebar. 5. use Alt+N for clicking the New button. 6. Type a name for the signature in the resulting edit box. You might consider calling it something like "Work signature" or "Personal signature", etc. 7. Use tab key to the OK button and press spacebar. 8. Focus will return to the Signatures and Stationary dialog box. If you use tab key twice, you will find a combo box for selecting the account to whichthe new signature should apply. Use up or down arrow key if you need to select a different account than the one showing in the box. 9. Continue to use tab key and you will find controls that let you pick the signature to use for new messages and for forwarded or replied to messages. Use up or down arrow keys in those controls to make appropriate choices. 10. If you continue to use the tab key, you will find controls for changing font, font size, applying certain character attributes and alignment. Use up or down arrow keys in the controls to make appropriate choices. 11. You will also find a button for inserting a picture. If you have scanned your signature into your system, you can browse to it and add it to yoursignature block. 12. There is an edit box just before the OK button that can be used for typing in the text of the signature. The font, font size, character attributes, alignment, etc. will be according to what you have already chosen in the dialog box. You can use your enter key to enter multiple lines of information in the edit box. 13. Use tab key to the OK button and press spacebar when finished. 14. In the final dialog box, you might find it faster to use shift+tab to the OK button and press spacebar. If you create multiple signatures, the default will be the signatures you choose for the sending of new messages and forwarded or replied to messages in the combo boxes. If you create a message and want to use a different signature than the default one, simply move focus down in the message to the signature block and use the application key. The contextual menu will include your other signatures and pressing enter on any of them will cause your choice to replace the default signature block. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] DECAccess 32 and JAWS 12 - WAS: Re: Jaws 10 Not Talking on Boot Up
Hi In order to be able to use the FS version of Dectalk Access32, they had to update the JAWS authorization to add this feature, the same as if adding the Remote access feature. If your JAWS authorization has such an update, you should be able to run the FS version of Dectalk Access 32. If it doesn't, your explanation. Makes sense. To see if your authorization has this feature, from the JAWSx/Tools menu in All Programs, run Ilm Authorization Viewer. At the bottom of this listing is a section that starts with the line Options. Under that line would be a line saying Dectalk Access32.

Re: [JAWS-Users] DECAccess 32 and JAWS 12 - WAS: Re: Jaws 10 Not Talking on Boot Up
Hi Doris I had never heard anything about JAWS 10 being the last release to support Dectalk Access 32. I run the Dectalk Access 32 version from Freedom Scientific. I originally got it shortly after it came out in JFW v2 or v3. I have successfully used it in all subsequent versions of JAWS including V11 and V12 under Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP. I downloaded a new version of Dectalk Access 32 back in the late 90's from the Freedom Scientific download page at http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/jaws/JAWS-previous-downloads.asp And installed it several years ago. Look for the link New Dectalk Access 32 on that page to find it. Although I tried it today and I got no response from left or right clicking the link. I mostly run it from the Startup group in the Start menu. Although recently I have been trying having it start automatically. In earlier versions of JAWS it seemed to me that JAWS was more responsive and less choppy by running it from the Startup group rather than as a service. But I really haven't noticed any difference between the two in the latest JAWS release. I recently purchased a Netbook on which I did not want an automatic logon to have JAWS after the Logon screen appears. So I checked the box in Basic/Options to have JAWS start automatically for the Logon Screen, which seems to take a long while after the logon screen appears. I then created a DOS batch file that will stop the currently running version of JAWS and start whatever version I specify. I have read that GW Micro has dropped support for it. So although I haven't seen anything about Freedom Scientific support, it wouldn't surprise me that it's not supported by them either. The last technical Support Bulletins I have seen on the Freedom Scientific support page about Dectalk Access 32 are for it making OpenBook 8 crash on startup just because it is installed, and it locking up JAWS under Windows Vista which mentions JAWS version 8.

All I heard before was that DEC Access 32 doesn't work with anything newer than jaws 10. I researched that a while back and think I saw a message by someone saying that FS no longer supported DECAccess 32. I'd be very much intersted in hearing which version of DEC Access (i.e. the k1k or GW Micro or FS or whichever version) you are using and with what settings. Do you run DEC Access as a service or are you starting it via the startup group? Thanks much.
