Re: [JAWS-Users] another jaws question
Hi Jamie, Below are various notes I've saved for identifying colors. See if 1 of them will help: From: Steve Use your skim reading tool. You first want to define a skim reading tool (control-shift-Jaws Key-Down arrow). You have four radio buttons, select the bottom one which is color and attributes. Now, tab to the color selection combo box and select the color you want. You might need to find the first instance of the blue name in your word doc so you know which shade of blue you need to specify in the attributes box. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway. Steve From: Cy Selfridge Hi, Try insert+numrow 5 to find the color of a particular letter. Cy From: Ann Byrne First, you need to know what color you are searching for. If you know one instance, you can press insert+5 on the numbers row for JAWS to identify the color. Often, though, JAWS does not name the color what Microsoft does, so there's a problem. So. *If you can establish what the color is for Office, jump through these hoops: 1. In Word press control+f for find. 2. Be sure there is no text in the find field. 3. Open the find split button (space bar?) and arrow to advanced find. 4. Press enter, and tab to the find and replace toolbar. 5. Pressing enter on the toolbar gives you a formatting menu. enter on font. 6. Tab to the color group, enter to open it, find your color and press enter. 7. I didn't go farther than that, but I'm sure you have to get to an okay button or two and press it or them. Good luck! Ann From: Adrian Spratt Try JAWS's skim reading. Press shift-control-JAWS key-down arrow to go into a menu of choices. The fourth, or last, enables you to search by color. You can also set up JAWS to identify colors in configuration Manager's speech and sounds. Adrian From: Marquette, Ed Another option is to switch the voice scheme. JAWS key plus Alt Plus S will announce colors as you read. Well, actually, it will give you a list of reading scheme voices, at least one of which will announce colors. That will allow you to read the entire text and have jaws pick and announce the colors as the cursor moves over the text. The color changes will be announced as you read line-by-line. Be sure you pick a scheme from the list that announces the colors. I think Classic with Colors is one of the choices. Ed From: Marquette, Ed The same tip I gave to identify text in colors will work for underlined text. Just press Alt plus JAWS key plus S. Pick a scheme that reads attributes. JAWS will switch to that scheme. Turn it off by going back to your preferred scheme which, for me, is classic. Ed From: Farfar Carlson Ed, Good tips, but won't help in a search for text with those attributes. Also I think that in say all mode attributes are not spoken, unless there is a speech scheme to do this? It get rather arduous to arrow line-by-line or word-by-word to hear the various attribute changes in a large document. Dave From: Marquette, Ed Dave: You are right. If one is just looking to find the underlined text and not necessarily read the text with the underlined text distinguished from the non-underlined text (same is true for colors), the reading scheme won't help at all. The problem with just searching for the text, as Ann suggests, is that it just gets you to the beginning of the text with that color or attribute. I usually like to know when the underlining or color change stops too. I too use the MS Word format search strategy, and I thought you and Ann did a great job of explaining. The Scheme just makes it easy precisely to identify what is and what is not in the target color or attribute once you get there. Perhaps you and/or Ann know this. If the color or underlining feature is applied through a style instead of just through direct formatting, will it still work? Presumably it would since, in any event, the text is in the desired font/attribute. Still, Word can be a little funny about things like that. For instance, if the color or attribute is applied through track changes, one usually cannot search for double-underline or strikethrough text, even though that is the way added or deleted text actually appears. Ed From: Adrian Spratt I can think of a way to locate the end of color text. First, search for the desired color, and in each instance placed a text marker, such as double asterisk or number sign, each time a passage begins. When that process is complete, return to the first instance of color text. Now change the color to black, or however the regular text appears and search for the instances where it resumes, indicating also that color text ends. Place another text marker at those points. Obviously, if more than one color is used, as happens when several lawyers are involved in negotiating or otherwise drafting a document, other markers would be used for other colors. This process would take a little time at the beginning, but save time in the long run. The risk might be upsetting the original format with the new

Re: [JAWS-Users] keeping data in a excel 2013 cell
When using the column auto fit feature, be aware that this could cause the width of your total data area be too wide to fit on a page. Depending on the width changing your paper layout to landscape instead of portrait might solve the problem. If this does not, the columns that do not fit on the page will be printed on a separate page. If you know which cell(s) have more info in them than can be visually seen, you can use the wrap text feature that is in the cell format dialog within Excel2010, I'm not sure if you will find it in the same place in 2013. I thought you had to select the entire column to ensure that the Column auto width feature worked on the cell with the widest content.

A laptop, notebook etc has an internal wireless adapter, as opposed to one that is plugged into some type of port on the outside of it's case. Some devices have an actual mechanical switch on the outside of the case, while others use a software switch thru some type of a keystroke. It would be my guess that if you have an actual slide-type switch on the outside of your computer, to turn the wireless on or off, then there is not a specific keystroke to perform this task. If you are sure that the external switch is in the on position, then you should check the device manager for your wireless adapter, and make sure that is in fact enabled. If you would include more specific information about the version of Windows and brand of computer it would be much easier to help track down the problem.

The external wireless switch is on. So, the internal must be off? Can some one help? Using the FN key + F12, or something in that command put you on that menu, but I believe jaws will not speak. Has anyone on the list ever turn on the internal wireless switch? Thanks, PS- This is the second time I post this query.

[JAWS-Users] Automatic Maintenance
Hi everyone. I've just seen a couple of postings on this topic. Can someone tell me a little more about it? Is this automatic maintenance a tool within the JAWS program or is it referring to the Windows OS? How do I set it up for the best functionality with Windows 7 and JAWS 15? Thanks Michele For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] need screen layout information to enter into safemode using windows 7 home premium
Hello, though I don't have much knowledge to computer technology, but what I've gather and implementing on my computer as well, in order to enable screen reader in safe mode, you first need to enable audio driver in safe mode. But again due to inavailability of display driver, jaws can't be run as expected. It may prompt you about the error about mirror display driver or video intersept manager. So in such case NVDA will be the best screen reader for such work. And if you couldn't turn your computer on in safe mode, just do small changes in ms config in safe boot manager, now you'll be automatically be taken in to safe mode once your computer is restart. And there is a small registry file which makes your audio driver enable in safe mode so that you can work without sighted help. Please feel free to live a message if you need this enabling audio in safe mode registry file.

When, the safe mode screen pops up jaws is not working at this time. Jaws will only start up on a regular start up, not on safe mode. If, it did not work, do it again. The options I use was install and repair windows. Try running the computer in safe mode. Question??? Why can't you run your antivirus at a regular start up? Somebody can add more info to this post.

Part two of safe mode question: What screen information does my untrained sighted helper has to look for, (while we are repeatedly pressing the function 8 key after having restarted the computer), which will tell us when we have arrived at the correct screen layout to appear to prepare us to go into safe mode?
