Re: [JAWS-Users] Voice Alias Question
Dana, I don't know exactly if this is what you want, but you can set the Jaws voice to be the same no matter what it reads. Or you can have it read differently for some thing if you desire. I just use the Alt V keystroke when in Jaws and tab through the selections. I have mine set to read everything in the same voice and the only difference is it raises in pitch when it reads a capital letter. Hope I understood your question and that this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] computer question, but on topic, really
Yeh, glad it worked for you.

[JAWS-Users] Voice Alias Question
I don't like all the different voices JAWS uses. So I configure all the voice aliases to be the same. But there are a couple of different voices JAWS uses for which I cannot figure out which alias to modify. When I focus on an object such as a list view or tree view, JAWS reads the value of that object as I prefer. But, when it names the type of object it is (list view or tree view, for example), it uses a higher pitched voice. What alias controls JAWS announcement of the object type, specifically, as distinct from the value of that object? Thanks. -- Blessed Be, Namaste, Dana D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Probably not. The only browsers that are known to work well with JAWS are IE and Firefox.

[JAWS-Users] Another Thunderbird question
How do I tell TB not to mark any incoming messages as junk, especially not messages from mailing lists? At present, it's marking all my mailing list messages as junk. I can ignore the marking, or change the marking, of course, but I'd rather TB didn't make any such decisions for me. Thanks. -- Blessed Be, Namaste, Dana D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Re: [JAWS-Users] installing office 2013
Leonard, The files that you have saved in your MY Documents folder, or any other folder on your computer will remain untouched while installing Office 2013.
