[JAWS-Users] Unable to Select or Change Options On Google Search SettingsPage
Hi list. Using JAWS 9 and IE 8, I am somehow no longer able to change or select any options on the Google search settings page under options on the Google home page. For example, under the heading Google Instant Predictions, the words On and Off are displayed, but there is apparently no way to select either of these options. Under the Results Per Page heading, the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 are shown, but there is no way to select the option you want. And when I hit Space or Enter on the Save Preferences button, nothing happens. I have cookies enabled, so that's not the issue. JAWS announces that there are no check boxes or radio boxes on the page. I never had problems with the Google Search Settings page before. Previously, the settings could be changed by selecting the appropriate check box or radio box, but JAWS either no longer recognizes these boxes on the Search Settings page, or they have otherwise been eliminated. Did Google change the Search Settings page so that it is no longer JAWS accessible? Or am I missing something? Can someone explain what the heck is going on with the Google Search Settings page?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Select or Change Options On Google Search SettingsPage
Gerald, I posted about this very issue a couple of days ago. Although it seems that you are not modifying those spiffy new slider bars on the google options page, you actually are. There is just no feedback. On the Instant Predictions slider, home sets it to on, and end sets it to off. On the results per page slider, I don't remember, but using the arrow keys, or page up and down keys changes the value. I confirmed this with the help of my wife's eyes. She let's me borrow them occasionally. Having said all that, I've been unable to get my settings to stick. I even set my security and privacy settings to off just to make sure that nothing was blocking google from dropping cookies onto my machine. No joy. What I did find is that I can construct a URL with some of my preferences built into the URL, then bookmark that URL and use it instead of just going to www.google.com Here is an example of a URL that sets instant to off, auto complete to off, and results per page to 50. http:www.google.com/?ion=0complete=0num=50 If you go to that URL, then bookmark it in your favorites, you can then just go to your bookmarks any time you want to go to google, and you will get a page with no instant, no autocomplete, and 50 results per page set for you. I haven't figured out some of the other preferences yet, but will work on it when I get more time. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Select or Change Options On Google SearchSettingsPage
Hi, It's not just you nor is it your screen reader. I've experienced the same with Jfw 13 as well as System Access. Yes the explanation simply put would be that Google has changed their code to the detriment of accessibility. I submitted their accessibility contact form for reporting problems yesterday with little expectation of results. Perhaps if others complain they'll augment their changes improving the situation once again.

[JAWS-Users] using the alva mpo braille notetaker with Jaws 12
Hi all I am trying to use the Alva MPO braille display on Jaws 13 on a Windows 7 machine. When using it with Jaws 12 on an XP machine everything works fine. The problem is that you have to install active sync on your computer in order for this machine and the computer to talk to each other at all. The MPO uses windows CE.net 4.1 which as far as I understand it is not supported by the replacement for active sync. Is there any possible way to sync a windows CE.net 4.1 machine with a windows 7 system? And no the MPO cannot be upgraded unfortunately.

Jaws will not read emails in Windows Live Mail Version 15 (the one with the ribbon menu), unless she first opens the message and routes the PC to the Jaws cursor. So, I have tried repairing Jaws 13 to no avail. I un-installed and re-installed Windows Live Mail 15 with the same results. Does Jaws read emails properly for those with a similar setup? If not, does anybody know if there is a way to snag the previous version of Windows Live Mail 14.0.8086 I think it is? I know several who use that successfully on a Win 7 machine with Jaws 12 and 13.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Select or Change Options On Google Search SettingsPage
Hi Gerald, there are a couple of problems with the recent changes to the search settings page: 1. Google have included code on the page to make the sliders and the buttons accessible, but the code for the sliders doesn't work. Presumably this will be fixed at some stage. 2. Google haven't provided any alternative for older screen readers or web browsers that don't understand the code which makes the sliders and the buttons accessible. My understanding is that once google have fixed the code, the sliders should be accessible if you're using jaws 11 and above, and IE 8 and above. For Jaws 10 and below and IE 8, jaws doesn't recognize either the sliders or the buttons, and hence can't go into forms mode. One work around is to switch the browser mode off (insert + z).

I tried that version of Google, but don't like it much because the search results page has no headings to make navigation easier.

I like it better. Patti http://scroogle.org/scraper.html Gerald, I posted about this very issue a couple of days ago. Although it seems that you are not modifying those spiffy new slider bars on the google options page, you actually are. There is just no feedback. On the Instant Predictions slider, home sets it to on, and end sets it to off. On the results per page slider, I don't remember, but using the arrow keys, or page up and down keys changes the value. I confirmed this with the help of my wife's eyes. She let's me borrow them occasionally. Having said all that, I've been unable to get my settings to stick. I even set my security and privacy settings to off just to make sure that nothing was blocking google from dropping cookies onto my machine. No joy. What I did find is that I can construct a URL with some of my preferences built into the URL, then bookmark that URL and use it instead of just going to www.google.com Here is an example of a URL that sets instant to off, auto complete to off, and results per page to 50. http:www.google.com/?ion=0complete=0num=50 If you go to that URL, then bookmark it in your favorites, you can then just go to your bookmarks any time you want to go to google, and you will get a page with no instant, no autocomplete, and 50 results per page set for you. I haven't figured out some of the other preferences yet, but will work on it when I get more time. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word 2007 and printing address labels
I don't know if this will help you, but try these Patti Mail Merge steps Before starting to use the Mail Merge feature in Microsoft word 2003 using an Excel data sheet as a source document, a person should already know how to work in dialog boxes and menus. It is also important to know the size and type of label that will be used. You need to make a small configuration change within Word before you begin using the Mail Merge wizard. Bring up the Tools menu by 1 pressing alt-T and then 2 press the letter O to bring up the options dialog box. 3 Move focus to the General tab. 4 Use tab key to move to the Confirm conversion at open option and if it is not checked then press spacebar to check it. 5 tab to OK button and press enter. 6 With that step completed, you are ready to create your labels. Start the mail merge process in Word 2003 using the steps listed below: 1. Open Word. 2. Press Alt-T to bring up the tools menu, press E to move to Letters and Mailings, and press enter on the Mail Merge choice. In excel 07 press alt m 3. In the Mail Merge dialog box you will find a group of radio buttons for selecting the type of document for the merge. Use down arrow key to move to the labels choice. This option is used for creating address labels. Press enter on the labels choice. 4. Use the tab key to move to the Next: Starting document choice and press enter. 5. Under Select starting document, select the radio button for Change document layout. Use up and down arrow keys in the radio buttons to find that choice. 6 Use tab key one time to move to the label options button and press spacebar. 7. Select the manufacturer and paper type from the lists in this dialog box such as Avery Standard 5160 Address. 8 Use tab to move to OK and press enter. 9. Use the tab key to move to the Next: Select recipients choice and press enter. 10. There will be a list of radio buttons shown. Use up and down arrow keys to the Use an existing list choice. This option assumes that you are using address information stored in another file such as an Excel worksheet. 11. Tab to the Browse button and press spacebar. 12 Locate your spreadsheet containing address information and open it. 13. Select the table containing the address information. If entire spreadsheet is in the edit combo box then just tab to OK and press enter on the button. 14 If you get a conversion confirmation dialog box at this point then use the MS Excel worksheet choice by using up and down arrow keys in the list of radio buttons. 15 tab to the OK button and press enter. 16. You will get a list of recipients. If focus is not in the list then use tab key to move to it. All recipients' names in the list will be checked. 17 Use up and down arrow keys to move to individual recipient names and use spacebar to uncheck those that you don't want included in the mail merge. 18 Use tab key to move to the OK button and press spacebar. 19. If a table opens in your document and the PC focus is moved there then use function key 6 to move the focus back to your task pane. If you were not taken out of the task pane then you don't have to press function key 6. 20 Use the tab key to move to and press enter on the Next: Arrange your labels choice. *I skip steps 21 through 26. If these steps don't work, then do steps 21 through 26. 1, Up arrow to address 2, press enter 3, Up arrow 4 times to Joshua Randall jr 5, Press enter 21. Use tab key to move to the More items choice and press enter. 22. You will get a list of fields that can be included in the merge. If the focus is not in the list then use tab key to move to the list. 23 Use up and down arrow keys to move from selection to selection in the list. For each selection you want included in the merge, select it by moving to it 24 tab to the insert button and press spacebar. Continue selecting fields you want included and using the insert button to choose them. These should be the fields that contain the recipients' names and addresses. 26 When finished then tab to the Close Choice and press enter. 27. Press the function key 6 to move from the task pane to the document for formatting. 28. Format the first label as you want it to appear when it is printed. You only need to format the first label. The field names are in brackets. Do not remove the opening or closing brackets of a field name as they indicate the starting and closing position for the text that is to appear in that field. You can place spaces between the closing bracket of one field and the opening bracket of another field, you can put a comma after the closing bracket and then a space, you can also move a field to a new line by moving to the opening bracket of the field name and pressing the enter key. If the FirstName field follows the LastName field and you want to move the Firstname field to be located before the LastName field then move to

Freedom Scientific tech support made an Eloq.SBL file available to replace the default one, which makes it possible for JAWS to identify many more symbols in the Word symbols list. Once you find a given symbol that you need to frequently use, you can set up a shortcut key for it. This applies to the Eloquence synthesizer only. The Eloq.SBL file is found by opening your Programs or All Programs group, expanding the version of JAWS, expanding the Explore JAWS submenu, and opening the Explore JAWS settings menu item. It is a good idea to use F2 when focus is on the Eloq.SBL file and add a .BAK to the end of the file name to make it a backup. The replacement Eloq.SBL file can be downloaded from my dropbox by using the following link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/eloq.sbl The new Eloq.SBL file should be put in the same Shared Settings folder where the file being replaced resides. If you want to review all the entries for symbols under the American English group of the file, you will need to open the file using Notepad. Once in Notepad, you can use a Find command for the word English and you should be taken to the American English group. There are thousands of entries in the group. Each entry gives a symbol number, the Unicode number that represents the symbol and the name of the symbol. You can also search for a specific symbol and quickly find its Unicode representation. For example, the Maltese cross is represented by a U+2720, the Star of David as a U+2721, etc. Here is a link to a file that contains a table showing the hex and decimal values for symbols. With the document open in Word, you can perform a Find command to search for a symbol and check column six for its decimal representation that can be typed in by using the Alt key and the number pad. The numbers need to be used from the number pad. Once the new .SBL file has been placed in the Shared Settings folder, you should be able to better read the items in the Word symbols list. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/Codes%20for%20symbols.docx Here is how you can add a shortcut key in Word 2010 to the Maltese cross: 1.Use Alt followed by N followed by U followed by M when in Word 2010 to move into the symbols page of the symbol dialog box. Tab to the From combo box and use up or down arrow key to select Unicode (hex). It is important to make that selection for all symbols to show correctly. Use tab or shift+tab to the font edit combo box and press A until you find the Arial Unicode MS font. The symbol might be listed under a different font on another system but I found it under the Arial Unicode MS font on my system. Tab to the subset and press D until you find the Dingbats item. Tab into the list of symbols. I had to use right arrow about twenty-eight times until I found the Maltese cross. Tab to the Shortcut key button and press spacebar. In the Press new shortcut key box, use a keystroke that

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Office 2007 and printing address labels
Jerry, I assume you want to use mail merge to insert data from a database If you want just a page of all the same labels, you can use Alt M, then l to get into the labels dialogue box and check the appropriate radio button. If you want to mail merge, here is an outline for that. Mail Merge in Word 2007 Choose Alt M for the mailings tab. Then tab to mail merge. Start Mail merge Choose labels Alt M Select Recipients Choose the source for the information. Under that option you need to find the file that contains your records. In my situation, that is an Access database. Then go back to the menu and find the option for, Edit recipient list Here I tab down to the filter link. When I enter on that I get a table like I was used to using inWord 2000, where I can enter the record number and the range that I want to print. Alt M Go to the, Insert merge fields group box As name, address, city, state and zip are selected, they appear in the main document below. User needs to use enter to move down a line, add the comma after the city and the space before the zip No key command, so use Alt M, and tab through to the insert merge fields group box each time. Then go to the Update labels button Hit enter and all the labels fill in.

[JAWS-Users] Virtual Ribbon menu speech repetition
Word 2010. Windoes 7 64 bit. JFW 13. More times than not when using the Virtual Ribbon, if for example I go to Insert, then to Text, when arrowing down from there all it says is Text button drop down grid everytime I down arrow. The only way I've found to rid it is to unload Jaws and fire it back up. It will reoccur shortly thereafter. Refreshing the screen does not affect it. I've noticed it does not do this when the Virtual Ribbon is turned off, all items are accessible then. It is not limited to justthe the text menu options but just about any last menu level. I'd hoped perhaps the new update might have the remedy. If anyone had this occur and/or has a clue, I'd appreciat it.
