[JAWS-Users] daily term
Daily Term: strained silicon A process developed by IBM and announced in June 2001 whereby a microchip's silicon is stretched so that the atoms that make up the silicon are aligned. This results in silicon with rows of aligned atoms, which lets electrons flow at speeds up to 70% faster than nonstretched (or nonstrained) silicon. This, in turn, enables the microchips that use strained silicon to operate up to 35% faster than ordinary microchips.

Re: [JAWS-Users] backup duty light what is it
Yesterday, when I checked my system tray, the first item was backup duty light. Today I did a system restore, but I guess I didn't go back far enough. What is this and does anyone know how else I can get rid of it other than system restore? I'm being presented with a cancel button which, when I click on it, goes nowhere.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple Selection in A List Box Problems
Hello Joy, I think maybe what is happening is that jaws activates the list box when you enter it and then if you pressed the space bar it deactivates the list box so if you try all the steps without the first step of pressing the space bar it may work. Good luck, hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] backup duty light what is it
The latest pc and laptops I've seen this on are Dell's and the Lite will only do a system recovery media and they are trying to get you to buy the fully pledged program which will allow you to do other backups. I strongly suggest you don't buy the upgraded version as it is likely to be inaccessible.

I don't remember the Quick Access Key, but in 2010 it is T. If you arrowed to it, press enter. In the resulting list of categories, arrow to Proofing, then tab.

I don't use outlook 2007 but WLM so since no one has answered this as of yet. . . I go to the list of messages and leave it closed Then I tap the application key and up arrow to add contactand enter The other way to do it in WLM is control shift c for contact which used to be control shift b for address book in Outlook express.

Dave Flor : Another thing you might put on the list is, that the Normal.dot (Word Template) file might have become corrupted. In that case, deleting the normal.dot file (with Microsoft Word closed) will fix it, as the next time you open word it will replace with a fresh normal.dot . ***DCM - I did that first. Elf: one thing I would do is go to the start menu shortcuts, hit the apps key on the application link, open the properties dialog, and in the box where it says run: combo box arrow down to maximized and try opening it and reading something this way. ***DCM This was the second thing I did. I then restarted the computer and opened a document. For the first time I was able to get to the menus with the PC cursor. I did Ann's checklist including switching from Print mode to normal. Ann: I'm guessing you have tried everything on the list, but just in case ... 1. Is the application maximized? ***DCM Yes 2. Is the document maximized? ***DCM Yes 3. Is the zoom set to 75% or thereabouts? ***DCM Yes 4. is the font a reasonable size? ***DCM Times New Roman 12 5. Is the font something JAWS can read easily? ***DCM Times New Roman 12 6.
