Re: [JAWS-Users] setting up Dectalk Access 32 in Windows 7

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS gets confused
To All Listers: Regarding this issue of JAWS saying Outlook when on the Windows Live mail program, it also does the same thing with Windows Mail. I use JAWS 11 and on Windows Vista with a 32 bit system. But like Mike, I don't know why!!! So maybe someone who is of a much higher intelligence than I could answer it...of course, maybe there is no answer, rhyme or reason.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS gets confused
Joanie, I think it's because jaws doesn't have scripts for WLM. Just ignore the OE reference. I thought something was wrong too, till someone pointed out to you what I just said about scripts. I don't think FS is investing a lot of time and effort in WLM. I think that's pretty sad. You might write FS and ask if they are going to improve what jaws does to WLM 2011.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS gets confused
I have no way of verifying this but check in yourinstallation folder of windows LIve Mail 2011 for the name of the program executable. Is it msimn.exe this has been the name of the Microsoft Email client from since before outlookk Express which was introduced origianly with Internet Explorer 4.0, hwhich came as part of windows 95 OSR2 or was available as an upgrade to I.e. 3.0. the above name of the program executable originally was short for Microsoft Internet Mail and News but was kept the same for Outlook Express over several versions and, I am guessing, may still be the name for the current Microsoft Mail client. This would explain your jaws's getting confused as jaws looks at the name of the program executable that currently has focus and loads settings/scripts accordinglyly. the script files that are loaded then internatally have a way of determining which version of a program, i.e. Microsoft Word 2003 or 2010, is being used. This allows jaws to know the differences and interact with the program as needed by the different versions. If the name of the program program executable is the same as with Microsoft Internet Mail and News and outlook Express, and, my guess is, also with windows mail and windows LIve Mail, this to jaws is the same program but with a different version number. So if jaws announced outlook Express rather than Windows LIve Mail it got confused on the version of the program you are using. Do a jawskey+escape to refresh the settings being loaded and you should be good to go. Now this is hoping I have not produced a lot of baloney and that my guess is right and makes sense even though I am still in the prediluvian and we actually still possess a working machine running win 95 A ... g hth Doris At 08:24 AM 1/12/2012 -0500, you wrote: Several times a week when I open Windows Live Mail 2011, JAWS 13 will say Outlook Express rather than Windows Live Mail.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS gets confused
Interesting. I know Microsoft has a tendency to become quite confusing about their program names. I see references to Windows Mail and Windows Live Hotmail, and I don't really know which program is being referred to to be honest. I know Vista had a Windows Mail program. I don't know if Windows Live Hotmail is the same as Windows Live Mail or if it refers to what I used to think of as just Hotmail a long time ago. Since I am confused myself, I guess I can understand why my buddy JAWS is too. We'll just blame it all on Mr. Gates, et al.

[JAWS-Users] Defining row and column titles in Excel with Jaws 13
Hi list. Using Jaws 13 and Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. When working in Excel I can define row titles that I want Jaws to read by going to the column containing the relevant row titles and pressing INSERT+CTRL+ALT+R. Similarly, I can define column titles to be read by Jaws by going to the relevant row and pressing INSERT+CTRL+ALT+C. However, these key combinations require somewhat tortuous digital gymnastics. In Jaws 12 there was an easier way to do these jobs. This was through the Adjust Jaws Settings dialog box (Insert+V). Turning now to Jaws 13, The Jaws 13 Help contains the following statement: (Quote) Defining Row and Column Titles. Before JAWS can read the titles of cells within a spreadsheet, you must specify which columns and/or rows contain those titles. To define row titles, move to the column containing the row titles and press INSERT+CTRL+ALT+R. To define column titles, move to the row containing the column titles and press INSERT+CTRL+ALT+C. Tip: You can also press INSERT+V to use Quick Settings to define row and column titles. (Unquote) Contrary to the above Tip, I can't find anything in the Jaws 13 Quick Settings that enables me to set row and column titles like I could do in the Jaws 12 Adjust Jaws Settings dialog box. Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated. Barry Preddle. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Defining row and column titles in Excel with Jaws 13
Go to the quick setting with insert-v. Tab once to the treeview, press t twice and you're at the familiar title reading settings. First, override the whatever it says, then down arrow a couple of times. It's all there after you tab into the treeview. At 02:58 PM 1/12/2012, you wrote: Hi list.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Defining row and column titles in Excel with Jaws 13
Barry: I didn't know about the combination command, so thanks for sharing. My experience with JAWS 13 is that I could indeed find the settings for row and column, using insert+v but that making a selection did nothing at all. I've spoken with a few lads at FS, so maybe they can fix this in the next update. I actually just dump JAWS 13 and load 12 when I know I'm going to be doing stuff in Excel, which is often. William S.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe empty document?
Hi folks, A friend posted a magazine that she is working on and asked for feedback on Facebook and had a button to click if blind or visually impaired. The file is in PDF format so I downloaded and saved file. I go to folder containing file which is highlighted press application key and enter on open with adobe reader x. Question 1 is this the correct or latest Adobe reader software? If not, does anyone have link for latest Adobe reader? When I open file Jaws states empty document. Question 2 If latest Adobe reader, then why does Adobe state empty message? What needs to be changed in PDF file to be recognized by Adobe x reader? I open file in Openbook and scanned file which is 62 pages long. I save it twice as openbook extension and text extension. Question 3 Could I have used the new Jaws 13 scanning feature? If so how would I do this? Thanks, Ann For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe empty document?
It was a document comprised of scanned images, thus JAWS ordinary sees it as having no text. the scanning feature of JAWS13 is called 'convenient OCR', which means it's ok for short docs or convenient scans, previews of a few pages of longer documents. - Original Message - From: Ann Marie Medlar amedl...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 11:54 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe empty document?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe empty document?
check the document for accessibility. Once open with document. Just look in the document menu got tools menu for the accessibility check. If it says no than not much to do except the OCR rout.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Defining row and column titles in Excel with Jaws 13
I found that JAWS 13 did not support Office 2000 and talked to FS about it. I finally updated to Office 2010. Have you considered an upgrade?
