Here is another method that works with Word 2013 and is likely similar in Word 2010. However, if you are using an earlier version of Word the steps will be quite different. 1.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to send an attachment in Thunderbird
Control+ shift +a opens thunderbird's attachment window. Then you'll need to identify the file you want by tabbing several times (depending on which version of windows you are using) until you find it. Then click on the file name. The next step is a leap of faith. Shift tab will bring up a selected/not selected dialog. Arrow down to selected and then press control + enter to send the email with the attachment.

[JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk
A few days ago, I posted that the Microsoft Security Essentials icon in the System Tray of my XP PC was reporting its status as potentially unprotected. This morning, after I booted up and checked the System Tray, the MSE icon is now reporting my PC status as At Risk. Here is the message that is displayed on the MSE Home tab: PC status: At risk Support for this operating system has ended, which means Microsoft Security Essentials is no longer supported and your PC is at risk. To make sure your PC stays protected, click the link below to see our end-of-support guidance for operating systems. While it is true that support for XP itself has ended, the XP version of MSE continues to function. I successfully updated the database definitions manually and ran a quick scan to verify this. So if MSE is still working, then my PC is not really At Risk, as the System Tray icon reports, and I can only conclude that this is nothing less than shameless scare mongering on the part of MS. Contrary to the message above,reliable sources claim that support for MSE will continue through July, 2015. So what is really going on? Are any other MSE users who are still running XP also getting the At Risk icon in their System Tray? Gerald ?

I'm getting beyond my limited expertise here. Can you copy your desired attachment from your external drive to your internal drive? then your Windows filing system should be able to locate it for you. Going farther in this question will be up to David or Rick, I think or someone who uses both Thunderbird and external drives. It may be possible for Maria or Angela, two knowledgeable Thunderbird users, to help also.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk
The probelm with AVG and Avast is that there are questions about their accessibility with JAWS, particularly the most recent versions. So as an alternative to MSE, I am considering Qihoo 360 Internet Security, which is free and JAWS accessible , according to a few list members who have tried it. And it has received mostly favorable reviews for ease of use and malware detection. Can I disable MSE real-time protection and keep it on my PC and use it only as a scanner in conjunction with another real-time anti-virus program like 360 Internet Security? This way, I can go back to using MSE by re-enabling real-time protection in the event that the alternate anti-virus program doesn't work out and has to be uninstalled. My understanding is that the XP version of MSE can no longer be installed, so once I remove it, I probably wouldn't be able to re-install it again, and for this reason, I would prefer to keep it on my PC as a fallback. As long as MSE real-time protection is disabled, it should not conflict with another real-time anti-virus program. Does this make sense? Thanks for any advice.

Somebody on another list claims that the most recent version of Avast is not very accessible with JAWS. The problem with installing Avast is that if it doesn't work out, it might be necessary to boot into safe mode to remove it, and of course, this cannot be done with JAWS because it does not provide speech.

[JAWS-Users] Appending selected files to Clip Board
there is a different method used in selecting non-contiguous files, illustrated by the difference I made with the subject line hereto, and therefore you do not use the JAWS+Windows+c for it. Rather, you first unselect with a press of ctrl+space, then use ct rl+Up/DownArrow to navigate up/down, all the while holding down the ctrl key, and then press SPACEBAR on the files you want to select. You COPY your SLECTED FILES to the CLIPBOARD for PASTING ... in the NORMAL way. - Original Message - From: Mohib Anwar Rafel mohibra...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 5:13 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Appending Text to Clip Board Insurt windows C is working for me.

What appending does, which copying to the clip board does not, is, add to the copied text that is already on the clipboard, for later pasting. If you merely copy to the clipboard, then you are replacing the content already on the clipboard. Thus, copying to the clipboard is a once-off move. Appending, on the other hand, can be done intermittently. And in answer to another question asked, yes you can 'summarize' a page by this means - by appending discrete passages to the clipboard, and then pasting the clipboard content(s) into another place or document.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk
Yes, Gerald, I am getting the exact same thing. You can choose to regard it as scare mongering. While the virus definitions should keep you fairly protected from spyware, the exploits in the XP system won't protect you from other security exploits; too many known holes in the system that hackers are waiting to address. Use at your own peril. I will probably continue to use my XP machine for some things, almost completely off-line though. I guess I regard it as better get off my butt and start transferring all my stuff to the nice Windows 7 machine I have had waiting around for the last year. I guess I'm an Xp hold-out although I am real comfortable running Win 7. I just upgraded a Vista laptop to Win 8, so can't say as much for that operating system and don't plan on upgrading the other Win 7 machine that I dedicate to other activities. The only difficulty I have is trying to network this stuff through my uVerse router/gateway.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk
Gerald, have you thought about reaching out to Computers for the Blind in Texas to see about possibly upgrading to a Windows 7 machine? I know everyone's financial circumstances are different and it isn't the easiest thing for some folks to just go out and get a new system. They help visually impaired people get computers with a minimum configuration of Windows 7 for a donation of $100.00 for a desktop or $150.00 for a laptop. I recently helped a friend who didn't have a lot of money obtain a pc from them. Instead of patching holes left and right and trying to come up with creative solutions, perhaps this could be an option? I guess too it would depend on what version of Jaws you're on, but even then, NVDA is free. - Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 7:38 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk Somebody on another list claims that the most recent version of Avast is not very accessible with JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Where does Jaws store its braille display drivers?
Hi I don't know if this would work for Braille displays. But on my Windows 7 machine now running JAWS 15, with no serial ports, I am using a Dectalk Express sybthesizer which plugs into a serial port. I bought a serial to USB converter and plugged the serial adaptor of the synthesizer into one end and the other end into a USB port on the machine. I bought the adaptor on Amazon. The one I got is made by TrendNet. But if JAWS has actually blocked serial Braille displays, the block would most likely be somewhere outside of the driver itself. You could ask FS if what you want to do is possible and why they blocked them after JAWS 11. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rylan Vroom Sent: Monday, April 07, 2014 04:07 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Where does Jaws store its braille display drivers?

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to recover MS word document with the help of jaws?
Hello, I notice in the steps I sent yesterday that in step 5 I said that the extension for auto saved documents is .ASP. The extension is ASD for auto saved documents. Below are the steps that should work in Word 2013 and Word 2010, followed by steps that should work for Word 2007, followed by steps that should work for Word 2003. Word 2013 and Word 2010: 1. Press Alt+F to enter the backstage view. 2. Use down arrow key to the Open tab. 3. Use Shift+Tab and if you find a Recover unsaved documents button use spacebar. If that button isn't showing tab until you find the Recent tab and use spacebar. Use Shift+Tab from that point and see if there is a Recover unsaved documents button. If so then press spacebar. 4. Use Shift+Tab until you are in a list of unsaved files. 5. Use up or down arrow key to the file you want and press enter key. Each file in the list should have a .ASD extension. 6. If the unsaved file opens in the Reading Layout mode use CTRL+Alt+P to switch to print view. 7. If you use F6 you should find a pane that tells you the file is a recovered document and if you use right arrow key you should find a Save As button. Use spacebar on that button to bring up the Save As dialog box. If the pane doesn't show then use F12 in the document and save the file. In Word 2007: 1. Activate the office button by using Alt+F. 2. use up or down arrow key to find Word Options and press enter key. 3. Find the Save category in the list. 4. Tab until you find the AutoRecover file location box. 5. Select the path in the auto recover file location box and copy it to the clipboard. 6. Use escape key until back in the document. 7. Close Word. 8. Use Windows key R to bring up the Run dialog box. 9. Paste the path on the clipboard into the edit box and press enter key. 10. Check for any files with a .ASD extension and press enter key to open the one you want. 11. Use Save As to save the document in a Word format. . Steps for Word 2003: 1. Press Alt+T to go into the tools menu and then use up or down arrow keys to find the Options menu choice. Press enter on that choice. 2. use CTRL+Tab to find the Files Location tab. 3. Find the auto recover files choice and press enter. 4. Select the path and copy it to the clipboard. Be sure to copy the entire path because it might extend on to more than one line. 5. Press escape key until back in the document and close Word. 6. Press Windows key R to bring up the Run dialog box. 7. Paste the path into the edit box and press enter key. 8. Use up or down arrow keys and check for files with the ASD extension. Press enter key on the one you want to open so you can save it. 9. Save the file with a Word extension such as.DOC using the Save As dialog box. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk
Instead of speculating about how difficult or not it may be, you could just write or call them and ask. I only just helped my friend last month and I believe he should be getting his system soon if not already. In his case, he requested a larger screen since he can still somewhat see. I believe that the Computer for the blind folks preinstall NVDA and a Jaws demo and more or less have it set up ready for out of the box use. I'd have to ask my friend next time I talk to him, but again, you could also ask them as to how difficult it may be for someone in your circumstances that can't rely on sighted help to get it up and running all by yourself. I have to believe that there are others like you who face the same situation. I can appreciate your difficulty, but replacing xp is going to be more and more an inevitability sooner than later. You could also maybe look on Craigslist or Yelp or other sites like that for low cost tech support. Maybe even reach out to some sort of state agency/community resource center or even a tech school and explain your situation and see if a student could help you out with the actual physical set up or just as a pair of eyes in case you run into problems while doing whatever it is you need to do if you really dont' know of anyone who may know someone who can lend you a hand for an hour or two. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 11:14 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk My biggest problem with buying a new computer or even obtaining one from the Texas organization is that I have nobody I can count on right now to help me set it up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk
Link at end of copied from CNet. I will migrate off XP but not yet. I'll be more careful. Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP, an OS still used by approximately 20-25% of Windows customers. That means one in four PC users must upgrade to a more secure, supported version of Windows or risk their un-updated, un-patched version of Windows XP catching a virus or other Internet bug. As a rule of thumb, we always recommend upgrading your OS and then updating it as often as possible to protect your system. If you're switching to a new OS, read how to migrate easily from Windows XP. However, if you're a die-hard who wants to keep a Windows XP machine, here are five tips for keeping it running as safely and smoothly as possible until you upgrade. 1. Use updated browsers -- no more Internet Explorer The latest version of Internet Explorer for Windows XP is IE 8, an incredibly outdated browser. For security, it's better to use third-party browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. All have promised to continue Windows XP support for at least another year. While you're installing a better browser, turn up your browser security. Add-ons and extensions that disable JavaScript can prevent websites from running malicious scripts. NoScript and Ghostery for Firefox or NotScripts and ScriptSafe for Chrome can close the doors on many exploits. 2. Get rid of Flash, Java, and Adobe Reader Although Flash, Java, and Adobe Reader were the mainstays of yesteryear's Internet, with an unsupported OS they are gaping doors for hackers. Most video sites like YouTube and Netflix uses HTML5, so there should be no need for Flash. Java is still required for certain applications, but unless you use those on a daily basis, there's no need for it to be installed. Lastly, there are safer alternatives for Adobe Reader, such as Sumatra PDF, Nitro PDF, and Foxit Reader. 3. Buy a full antivirus suite Getting the protection of a full antivirus suite isn't a bad idea, especially when it costs much less than upgrading to a new system. Kaspersky, Trend Micro, F-Secure, and Norton are all good calls. You want something heavy duty with its own firewall for the best protection. Then get a second opinion from other scanners just to be on the safe side. The new Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is good utility to run as a second line of defense. (The premium version is going for $20 this week) 4. Go offline or limit your account access The surest way to stay safe is to stay off the Internet. If your Windows XP machine's uses don't require an Internet connection (such as home theater, playing music, or games), then disconnect. Otherwise use the limited account privilege setting in the User Control Panel. Stay off the admin account unless you need to update, patch, or install something. Account limitation can be a roadblock for attackers. 5. Remove unnecessary clutter Any programs you're not using can be a risk now that you're on an outdated OS. Keep baggage to the bare minimum by uninstalling apps you don't need. IObit, Revo, and Advanced Uninstaller can help. Then update whatever applications remain. Just because Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP doesn't mean that software developers are dropping it, too. A majority of publishers still offer updates to their software at least for another year. End of an era Even though Windows XP gets no more Microsoft love, your functioning PC did not suddenly became useless. If you practice good security and know the limitation of the legacy OS, you can stretch out your system's life for a little while longer. However, we do recommend that you not keep sensitive data or perform essential tasks on your XP machine. While unsupported doesn't mean automatic hacking, there will be fewer people reporting exploits. http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57620758-12/5-tips-for-running-windows-xp-relatively-safely/?tag=rb_content;main - Original Message - From: Cristóbal crismuno...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 2:43 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As At Risk Instead of speculating about how difficult or not it may be, you could just write or call them and ask. I only just helped my friend last month and I believe he should be getting his system soon if not already. In his case, he requested a larger screen since he can still somewhat see. I believe that the Computer for the blind folks preinstall NVDA and a Jaws demo and more or less have it set up ready for out of the box use. I'd have to ask my friend next time I talk to him, but again, you could also ask them as to how difficult it may be for someone in your circumstances that can't rely on sighted help to get it up and running all by yourself. I have to believe that there are others like you who face the same situation. I can appreciate your difficulty, but replacing xp is going to be more and more an inevitability
