Re: [JAWS-Users] Scanning multiple page documents as an Adobe PDF
Use a file conversion site that will convert a file of a given format into a pdf for you. Or, scan the file as a Microsoft Word .doc file, open it in word 2007 or later and save it as a .pdf. - Original Message - From: Christopher Sabine- ONH Consulting, LLC i...@onhconsulting.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2013 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Scanning multiple page documents as an Adobe PDF Hi Hans. I'm actually using Kurzweil 1000 Version 11, not Omnipage. I also don't need a resulting PDF that is accessible with JAWS, as I'm emailing to sighted colleagues. I need to know if there is software that can do this that is independent of any scanner and accessible. Thanks, Chris.

Annette, Is this in all MS Office suites or just the professional version.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Scanning multiple page documents as an Adobe PDF
I have Microsoft Office home and business as well. It does not look as I remember, but here is what I do to get to where I think will do the trick. From the start menu I navigate to All Programs. Press Up Arrow once and press Enter. Press down arrow once and press M until I get to Microsoft Office and press Enter to open the submenu. There are 6 items in the submenu and Tools is the sixth one right after Word. Press Enter to open the Tools submenu. There are 6 items in this submenu as well. The 4th item is Document upload, and the 5th item is Picture manager. Neither of these are labeled like in my previous version of Office, so I do not know if they will allow you to scan a document right into Word.I guess I will need to do some research.

Re: [JAWS-Users] IE10
The biggest problem I have with IE 9 and 10, is the way you download files, and that you can't hear the clicks when the page is loading or is going to a new one, if those 2 issues could be fixed, I may upgrade to 10 again, but right now I am fine with 8.

[JAWS-Users] An annoying jaws problem in outlook 2007.
Many times in reading a message, Jaws doesn't just start to read it, although it is supposed to do it. Many times, I just hear, read only edit. The only way I can correct this, is to unload jaws and load it again. Then, it works for awhile, and then goes back to what it was doing before. Is there a fix for this? I'm running jaws 14 on a windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit machine. Thanks for your help. Jim For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
