Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding Add to Cart on Rakuten
You have to be pretty flexible when doing things on the web these days. You cannot assume that everything you think should be a button, or other forms control actually is. IE, just because most shopping carts have a cart button, the cart button can appear as a link on other sites. I have found that, unless it is a familiar site to me, I always arrow around instead of just tabbing or using hot keys to move about the page. -- Blue skies.

[JAWS-Users] sluggish computer after hours of idle time
I have a HP laptop 32 bit windows seven with jaws v13 which is about six years old. I think that might be the major problem itself. (smile) However, the computer works well as long as I am doing something on it. But, if I leave the computer for more than two hours or more without accessing anything the computer becomes very sluggish to the point it freezes and I have to do a hard reset with the power button. What I mean by very sluggish is the arrow keys in a list of emails might take two minutes or more to go to the next message, or alt tab might take a long time to switch between programs. As for jaws the Braille display shows information about a minute or more before I get speech. Having know programs open and just sitting at the desktop and then trying to access something doesn't resolve the sluggish issue. So, when I do the hard reset and reboot the computer the computer will act normally. I am typing this email with no issues but I bet if I went away from the computer and tried to continue typing this email in about two hours it would be a sluggish painstaking disaster. Let me list some things I have tried and if anyone can add some additional task I should consider let me know. Below is a list of stuff I have tried too resolve the issue. 1. Did a full (MSE) virus scan. No threats were detected. 2. Did a full malware scan. No issues were found. 3. Defrag showed know issues. 4. Checked disk for errors. Its set to correct any known issues after the scan. 5. Did a system restore when the computer appeared to work normally. this did not correct the problem. 6. Yelled and cursed at the computer and the dern thing just ignored me. (smile) For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] sluggish computer after hours of idle time
First thing I'd do is go run the housecall free online virus scan from www.trendmicro.com, always good to have a second opinion. Next thing I'd do is find out where the machine blows air out, and sucks it in; with it turned off block the fan with a paperclip so you can't spin it too fast and blow in through the output ports with a can of air, it could be full of junk and overheating.

[JAWS-Users] Accessing Embedded Attachments with JAWS, A Work-a-Round
Recently there was a discussion I believe on this list about the problem of not being able to access e-mail attachments that are embedded in the body of an e-mail instead of being attached in the header. I do not remember seeing a solution to this problem, so I am sharing instructions that I have recently came up with to address this issue. When you can't find an attachment that you know has been attached to an e-mail, most likely the problem is that the document is embedded in the body of the message. This happens when the message is created in Rich Tex Format (RTF). JAWS is unable to find documents when they are attached in this manner. If you follow the below steps, you will be able to access the attachment. 1.Open the e-mail with the embedded attachment. 2. Use Control+f to forward the e-mail with the attachment. 3. Type your e-mail address in the To field and press Enter. 4. Press and release the Alt key to activate the ribbon. 5. Use the Right and/or Left arrows key to navigate to the Format Text tab. 6. Press the Down arrow once to move to the Lower Ribbon. 7. Press the Tab key 5 times to get to the Format Group Box. 8. Use the Up and Down arrows to navigate through the 3 buttons, HTML, Plain Text and Rich Text. Note that JAWS announces that the Rich Text Format button is pressed. This confirms that the problem is that the attachment is embedded in the body of the message instead of attached in the header. a. If you select HTML by pressing Enter when you are focused on it, you will be returned to your message and you can Tab through the header and find that the document is now attached in the traditional way and JAWS can now find it. b. If you select Plain Text by pressing enter when you are focused on it, you might encounter a dialog box letting you know that some features are not supported and asked if you want to continue. Tab to continue and press Enter. You are returned to your message and you can Tab through the header and find that the document is now attached in the traditional way and JAWS can now find it. 9. Use the Alt+s command to send the message. 10. Once you receive the message you can use your Up or Down arrows to navigate to the new message, and press enter to open it. 11. Use Shift+Tab to move to the attachment field in the header. 12. Use the Right arrow to navigate to the actual attachment and press Enter to open it. NOTE: If you anticipate only needing to read this document only this one time, you do not need to actually send the message to yourself. Skip adding your e-mail address and just tab to the attachment and open it. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[JAWS-Users] JAWS and Google Docs
Hi all, My wife is interviewing for a job through the Kidney Foundation in Canada and this employer uses spreadsheets which she is to access through Google so am I correct in assuming the employer must be using google Docs? Is Google Docs accessible with JAWS? I haven't had time to look at this spreadsheet yet but thought I would get some ideas from the list. My wife uses JAWS 12 on a windows 7 64-bit laptop and I believe she is using IE 9. I will be looking at this spreadsheet on a XP desktop using JAWS 13, IE 8 and I have never tried Google Docs before. Any thoughts will be appreciated Thanks, Marvin For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] using iTunes to put a ring tone on my phone
I'll try and answer you in this message because after multiple attempts at doing an audio tutorial covering this topic I must admit it keeps coming out like I am stumbling around which unfortunately is not too far from the truth. First be in I tunes and focus on the file in question, then hit the applications key and pick get info. Then control tab until you land on the information tab. There is where it will say GW meta data, so delete that and type in what ever you want to call it. That will show up in I tunes as the name of the ring tone. I found it mostly by accident more or less. I thought why not nothing else was working at the time so let me look in this sub menu, hopefully this will solve your problem as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] sluggish computer after hours of idle time
Check your power settings, because it looks like your going into sleep mode and jaws don't act right in that mode with some types of computers. At 01:34 PM 3/14/2013, you wrote: I have a HP laptop 32 bit windows seven with jaws v13 which is about six years old. I think that might be the major problem itself. (smile) However, the computer works well as long as I am doing something on it. But, if I leave the computer for more than two hours or more without accessing anything the computer becomes very sluggish to the point it freezes and I have to do a hard reset with the power button. What I mean by very sluggish is the arrow keys in a list of emails might take two minutes or more to go to the next message, or alt tab might take a long time to switch between programs. As for jaws the Braille display shows information about a minute or more before I get speech. Having know programs open and just sitting at the desktop and then trying to access something doesn't resolve the sluggish issue. So, when I do the hard reset and reboot the computer the computer will act normally. I am typing this email with no issues but I bet if I went away from the computer and tried to continue typing this email in about two hours it would be a sluggish painstaking disaster. Let me list some things I have tried and if anyone can add some additional task I should consider let me know. Below is a list of stuff I have tried too resolve the issue. 1. Did a full (MSE) virus scan. No threats were detected. 2. Did a full malware scan. No issues were found. 3. Defrag showed know issues. 4. Checked disk for errors. Its set to correct any known issues after the scan. 5. Did a system restore when the computer appeared to work normally. this did not correct the problem. 6. Yelled and cursed at the computer and the dern thing just ignored me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a program
ah, yes, just so since if you delete the partition you have no drive just a storage device and no, its old tech and no longer truly applies correctly. elf -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of JOHN HUFFMAN Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2013 2:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a program I think I'd make very sure I had everything backed up that I wanted to keep.
