[JAWS-Users] What To Do when JAWS Won't Start Up

[Michele Thredgold]

Hi everyone. I'm using a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 and JAWS 15. Today, I 
tried turning it on and waited for the Windows sound to come and for JAWS to be 
announced, but neither happened. I tried doing a hard reset but still the same 
thing happened. I don't remember doing anything on the laptop before shutting 
it down last time that would have caused this to happen, but wonder if anyone 
can suggest some things for me to try. I can't remember how many times I have 
to tab, for example, to get to # start-up options or whether I have to up- or 
down arrow to get to the right one.

Thanks.

Michele

[JAWS-Users] Anti-Virus

[Michelle Clark]

Happy Holidays  All,

 

I  really need to update my virus protection, I  am thinking about AVG
versus Mal Ware Bytes. I  have used AVG on old computers in the past and not
sure what was on this computer when I  purchased it last year but need
something to protect this HP now. I  appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Hi, Possible Problem Resolution:
Try typing jaws then enter; if nothing speaks, try insert+Ctrl+j
If still nothing, try typing jaws again, & hit enter.

There have been times one of these attempts does resolve the Jaws problem,
for me.

There is nothing wrong with the link in question, it is working perfectly. I
know because every time something like this happens the first thing I do is
test it myself.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reccording to computer from tapes

[Paul Shallbetter]

Hi Theresa,

Lots of questions.

First off, see if you can find a USB to audio adaptor.  I've seen a couple 
that use the 3.5 m.m. (1/8 inch) connector, but I haven't seen one that uses 
the same RCA phono connectors that were used on old tape decks.  You might 
need an adaptor cable as well.


Yes, using Goldwave you could record each side of the tape to digital, then 
cut/copy the left track or right track to a new sound file.  If you don't 
have "crosstalk" between the channels, this will work fine.  Same thing goes 
for Library of Congress format tapes, which are at half normal cassette 
speed; just record them into Goldwave, select the Pitch option from the 
Effects menu, then select (down one octave) to normalize the speed.


A larger problem I have had with interfaces is that they fight over the ACEO 
drivers with JAWS, and JAWS usually loses.  So, you might find yourself 
without speech.


I don't know if any of this helps;  I bought a $79.00 cheap 
"direct-to-digital" tape player that connects directly into a USB port. 
I'ts made by a company called Ion.


HTH,

Paul

Helo,
Using Windows 8-64 lastest Jaws 16.
I would like to to digitalize my tapes, that is transfer thier content to 
my computer.
I have got the windows sound recorder, but you can’t use it for long 
recording. I know some one wrote stepts to stretch time, but isn’t there 
another accessible recording software that would work?


My laptop has only one conection for headphones, and not for microphone. 
As fas I I understand I would have to conect myy tape recorder to a 
microphone conection. How would I do this? I beleive I would have to 
change the headphone to microphone in control panel, but I don’t know how 
to do this.


Lastly, a lot of my tapes are recorded in a four-track tape recorder which 
has broken down. I believe it is possible to record this tapes using an 
ordinary tape recorder and making the proper edition to four tracks once 
the content in in the computer. How can this be done?


Thank you in advance.

Best wishes for all,

Teresa Arroyo

I do have actual buttons, cause I use a bt keyboard. However, on this 
keyboard is such a button, that if pressed, it disabled everything, but not

Re: [JAWS-Users] What To Do when JAWS Won't Start Up

[Jim Pursley]

If you have JAWS 15 or higher you might have accidentally muted JAWS.  
The toggle is JAWS key, space bar, s.


You might contact Microsoft Accessibility at at 800-936-5900. Perhaps 
with their help you could enable Microsoft Navigator.  Do you have a 
back up screen reader like NVDA or SATOGO?


If all fails and you can't get JAWS enabled/functioning call FS tech 
support tomorrow.


I wish I had a more direct way.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What To Do when JAWS Won't Start Up

[Steve]

Possibly, you muted your sound?

In win 7, try this:

windows key simultaneously with R to get to the Run Dialog.
Type sndvol and press enter.

This brings up your volume mixer.

Tab once to the mute speakers button.  Press the spacebar.

Does this bring back your sound?  If so, you can just close the app with 
alt-f4.  If not, then press spacebar again as the first time you pressed 
spacebar would have muted your system.  The mute button is a toggle.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AdwCleaner: was Malware bytes

[Steve]

I am having issues posting to the Jaws list, apparently it may not like HTML 
posts.  I previously posted this, but it may not have gone through.  So, I 
modified the subject line so as not to hijack the thread.

I use a different piece of software than Malware Bytes which is much more 
effective.  It as AdwCleaner and it is totally accessible with Jaws, as well 
as with other screen readers.  I do some tech support, and it cleaned up a 
client's computer that was seriously infected with spyware including browser 
hijacks.  My wife also tried it on her computer that seemed to freeze 
occasionally, and it resolved those issues.

This is one of the recommended programs for attacking some forms of spyware 
and malware on BleepingComputer.com.

Here is my brief tutorial on its usage:

I thought I'd submit a post about an outstanding malware removal program 
that is extremely accessible.  It is called Adwcleaner.  I used version 
4.106.

I tried it about ten days ago on my computer and found a couple things.  My 
wife had an issue with her computer freezing when doing downloads, and she 
used this program this morning and it corrected the issue.

I have a client who had issues with several pieces of spyware such as
global updater, groovorio, roboot, and many more that could not be nuked 
with MalwareBytes or a couple different anti-virus programs.  This person 
had over sixty browser helper objects in Firefox, and these same programs 
that ran in Internet Explorer were listed in various places in the registry, 
under program folders and scheduled tasks.  It identified over 155 different 
registry keys, and over thirty folders with malware.

Adwcleaner opens with a simple screen layout.  Under the actions menu, you 
first hit the Scan button.  It will take a few minutes to scan.

On the results screen, there are several tabs.  These are tabs for each
browser (firefox, Internet explorer, google chrome if you have it), plus
tabs for files, folders, registry, scheduled tasks etc.  Under each tab, you
can tab into the list of items it has identified.  If you don't want to
clean an item, just uncheck it as you arrow down through the culprits.

Once you've reviewed everything, go back to the actions area and hit the 
Clean button.  It will warn you to make sure you've saved data from your 
other applications as it will close all programs.

When it says it will close all programs--believe it!  It means it!  It 
closes everything, including your screen-reader.
Suggestion: Make sure you have a shortcut installed so you can bring your 
screen reader back up about ten seconds after it closes.

When you bring your screen reader up again, it will tell you it needs to
reboot to finish the process.

When it reboots, you will be in a notepad log file showing what it was able 
to remove.  The log file will also be saved, along with the quarantine
folder, under your root directory.

You can download AdwCleaner at

https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1/

Hi LeDon,

Malware Bytes is a very good anti malware software, It compliments most
antivirus softwares, and will commonly detect certain types of malware,
spyware, adware, and such that the antivirus programs will not. So, to
answer your question, Yes, I feel that even the free version of Malware
Bytes is better for the well being of all computers, and personally, I would
not go without it. If you would like a more accessible version, I still have
a copy of 1.75 which was the last version before the interface change was
made, and it is still a good version to use. All you need to make sure of,
is that the data base has been updated regularly, and it works fine. I would
be more than happy to send you a copy of this version, or you can download
the newest version from the malwarebytes.org website. Either way, you will
be better protected, and it will help to keep your computer cleaner and
running better. Have you ever used Malware Bytes before?

[JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

I am experiencing a problem with Outlook 2010, that I can't seem to resolve.

 

If I am writing an e-mail, and find the need to leave my computer before
sending the message, I often like to save my message in the drafts folder.
My usual way of doing this is to hit the escape key, at which time I will be
asked whether I want the message to be saved.  Of course, I respond by
answering "yes", thinking that all should be well.  However, after I do
this, I look for the supposedly saved message in my drafts folder, and it is
not there.  I check both my local drafts folder, and the drafts folder under
my expanded outlook folders.  The last time this happened, I even checked my
drafts folder on the g-mail web site, under my personal g-mail account, and
it was not there either.  I have also checked my deleted items, junk,
outbox, and saved folders, but no message appears there either.

 

What makes this especially annoying is that I did not have this problem a
month or so ago.

 

I'm wondering if something has been updated in Windows so as to make this
saving function less easy to perform?

 

I posted this quiry several days ago on the other Jaws list

 

j...@lists.the-jdh.com

 

and although I have gotten several suggestions, none have worked thus far.

 

One other note:  I have tried the control S key command as a way to save the
message.  However no saving options appear when using this key command.

 

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

 

P.S.  I hope this quiry is not considered to be "off topic" for this list.

Alt F.
Up arrow to options and press enter.
Down arrow to mail but don't press enter but rather press tab.
Tab to, save unsent messages to...
Make sure draft folder is selected.

Hi Paul,

free? If the old cable that conected old tape recorders doesn't work, I 
wonder if I could do the recording without conecting the recorder to the 
computer. Like in the old days when those cables were not around.


I was also thinking about using a digital recorder and then transfering the 
content to the computer form there, but is it posible to do the four-track? 
I am new to all of this, so that is why I need detailed information.


Thanks again. Happy new year,

Teresa

Hi Theresa,

Lots of questions.

First off, see if you can find a USB to audio adaptor.  I've seen a couple
that use the 3.5 m.m. (1/8 inch) connector, but I haven't seen one that uses
the same RCA phono connectors that were used on old tape decks.  You might
need an adaptor cable as well.

Yes, using Goldwave you could record each side of the tape to digital, then
cut/copy the left track or right track to a new sound file.  If you don't
have "crosstalk" between the channels, this will work fine.  Same thing goes
for Library of Congress format tapes, which are at half normal cassette
speed; just record them into Goldwave, select the Pitch option from the
Effects menu, then select (down one octave) to normalize the speed.

A larger problem I have had with interfaces is that they fight over the ACEO
drivers with JAWS, and JAWS usually loses.  So, you might find yourself
without speech.

I don't know if any of this helps;  I bought a $79.00 cheap
"direct-to-digital" tape player that connects directly into a USB port.
I'ts made by a company called Ion.

HTH,

Paul

Helo,
Using Windows 8-64 lastest Jaws 16.
I would like to to digitalize my tapes, that is transfer thier content to 
my computer.
I have got the windows sound recorder, but you can’t use it for long 
recording. I know some one wrote stepts to stretch time, but isn’t there 
another accessible recording software that would work?


My laptop has only one conection for headphones, and not for microphone. 
As fas I I understand I would have to conect myy tape recorder to a 
microphone conection. How would I do this? I beleive I would have to 
change the headphone to microphone in control panel, but I don’t know how 
to do this.


Lastly, a lot of my tapes are recorded in a four-track tape recorder which 
has broken down. I believe it is possible to record this tapes using an 
ordinary tape recorder and making the proper edition to four tracks once 
the content in in the computer. How can this be done?


Thank you in advance.

Best wishes for all,

Teresa Arroyo

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] AdwCleaner: was Malware bytes

I am having issues posting to the Jaws list, apparently it may not like HTML
posts.  I previously posted this, but it may not have gone through.  So, I
modified the subject line so as not to hijack the thread.

I use a different piece of software than Malware Bytes which is much more
effective.  It as AdwCleaner and it is totally accessible with Jaws, as well
as with other screen readers.  I do some tech support, and it cleaned up a
client's computer that was seriously infected with spyware including browser
hijacks.  My wife also tried it on her computer that seemed to freeze
occasionally, and it resolved those issues.

This is one of the recommended programs for attacking some forms of spyware
and malware on BleepingComputer.com.

Here is my brief tutorial on its usage:

I thought I'd submit a post about an outstanding malware removal program
that is extremely accessible.  It is called Adwcleaner.  I used version
4.106.

I tried it about ten days ago on my computer and found a couple things.  My
wife had an issue with her computer freezing when doing downloads, and she
used this program this morning and it corrected the issue.

I have a client who had issues with several pieces of spyware such as global
updater, groovorio, roboot, and many more that could not be nuked with
MalwareBytes or a couple different anti-virus programs.  This person had
over sixty browser helper objects in Firefox, and these same programs that
ran in Internet Explorer were listed in various places in the registry,
under program folders and scheduled tasks.  It identified over 155 different
registry keys, and over thirty folders with malware.

Adwcleaner opens with a simple screen layout.  Under the actions menu, you
first hit the Scan button.  It will take a few minutes to scan.

On the results screen, there are several tabs.  These are tabs for each
browser (firefox, Internet explorer, google chrome if you have it), plus
tabs for files, folders, registry, scheduled tasks etc.  Under each tab, you
can tab into the list of items it has identified.  If you don't want to
clean an item, just uncheck it as you arrow down through the culprits.

Once you've reviewed everything, go back to the actions area and hit the
Clean button.  It will warn you to make sure you've saved data from your
other applications as it will close all programs.

When it says it will close all programs--believe it!  It means it!  It
closes everything, including your screen-reader.
Suggestion: Make sure you have a shortcut installed so you can bring your
screen reader back up about ten seconds after it closes.

When you bring your screen reader up again, it will tell you it needs to
reboot to finish the process.

When it reboots, you will be in a notepad log file showing what it was able
to remove.  The log file will also be saved, along with the quarantine
folder, under your root directory.

You can download AdwCleaner at

Hi LeDon,

Malware Bytes is a very good anti malware software, It compliments most
antivirus softwares, and will commonly detect certain types of malware,
spyware, adware, and such that the antivirus programs will not. So, to
answer your question, Yes, I feel that even the free version of Malware
Bytes is better for the well being of all computers, and personally, I would
not go without it. If you would like a more accessible version, I still have
a copy of 1.75 which was the last version before the interface change was
made, and it is still a good version to use. All you need to make sure of,
is that the data base has been updated regularly, and it works fine. I would
be more than happy to send you a copy of this version, or you can download
the newest version from the malwarebytes.org website. Either way, you will
be better protected, and it will help to keep your computer cleaner and
running better. Have you ever used Malware Bytes before?

Re: [JAWS-Users] AdwCleaner: was Malware bytes

[Bob W]

Hi Steeve.

I'm always on the lookout for a good computer purger.

I decided to try Adwcleaner based on your recommendations.

First, since neither your message nor the Adwcleaner website mentioned the 
price, I was glad to find it was free.

Second, your tutorial told me exactly what to expect.

Third, my  results showed me some registry entries I had never noticed so I 
decided it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and clean them.

Finally, my computer is still working fine. So I think this is a keeper.

Thanks for your recommendation.

Bob

Hello, everyone.



I am experiencing a problem with Outlook 2010, that I can't seem to resolve.



If I am writing an e-mail, and find the need to leave my computer before
sending the message, I often like to save my message in the drafts folder.
My usual way of doing this is to hit the escape key, at which time I will be
asked whether I want the message to be saved.  Of course, I respond by
answering "yes", thinking that all should be well.  However, after I do
this, I look for the supposedly saved message in my drafts folder, and it is
not there.  I check both my local drafts folder, and the drafts folder under
my expanded outlook folders.  The last time this happened, I even checked my
drafts folder on the g-mail web site, under my personal g-mail account, and
it was not there either.  I have also checked my deleted items, junk,
outbox, and saved folders, but no message appears there either.



What makes this especially annoying is that I did not have this problem a
month or so ago.



I'm wondering if something has been updated in Windows so as to make this
saving function less easy to perform?



I posted this quiry several days ago on the other Jaws list

One other note:  I have tried the control S key command as a way to save the

helps you. 

One thing are you when opening office in the folders of your email address
it helps.

I use 2013 business and I have it open outlook by my email address and when
moving around to different folders I use shift tab and use letter like D for

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] bit defender

[Kimsan]

Hey folks,
I am not sure what causes that issue, but I had the same exact thing happen
to me the other day when composing an email, where there were no spaces in
between my words.  I wonder if the email being in html format had anything
to do with that.
I don't think he did it on purpose, but it was fun decoding the email. :)

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question

[Bob Boyd]

Tom,

Thinking a bit outside the box now.  What if you put some unique characters
in the subject line of a test email, like "XX" - whatever is
unique.  Then do your usual ctrl "S"  or your preferred save to draft
method.  Then do a search using the alt key to bring up the Windows 7 Search
box, then enter the unique subject line test message string.  Perhaps the
search will disclose the location of your saved messages and solve the
mystery of the missing (or AWOL) draft folder.  Good luck!

Bob

I suggest calling the Microsoft Accessibility office at 800-936-5900.  They 
can remote in to your computer, and should be able to figure this out.  I 
have been impressed with the diligence of the folks in that office.  The 
last time I called them, I had an issue that they could not figure out, and 
got hold of upper level tech support that did figure out the answer.  It all 
happened in that single phone call.  They always send me a subsequent email 
asking for feedback on how they did.

[JAWS-Users] Source manager (citations and bibliographies) in MS-Word 2013

[Jason White]

How do I use MS-Word's Source Manager with JAWS? When I select Source Manager
to add a reference, I am presented with a dialog. Using tab/shift-tab simply
says "Source Manager", and arrow keys don't navigate among the controls or
fields. The braille display at least presents the field names but I haven't
succeeded in entering data.

Suggestions?

I normally use LaTeX for this kind of work, which is obviously completely
accessible as it's based entirely on specially marked up text files and BibTeX
files for citations. Of course, LaTeX is my preference, but some journals or
colleagues may require MS-Word format, so it's useful to know what my
bibliography handling options are in this environment.

j...@lists.the-jdh.com

 

and although I have gotten several suggestions, none have worked thus far.

 

One other note:  I have tried the control S key command as a way to save the
message.  However no saving options appear when using this key command.

 

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

 

P.S.  I hope this quiry is not considered to be "off topic" for this list.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What To Do when JAWS Won't Start Up

[Michelle Clark]

Sometimes JAWS will not evoke at startup although it is set up to perform in
that manner. On occasion, this happens to me. I have found if I  do
"Windows, M" and press "J" for JAWS and then "enter", it usually will start.
Try that. I  hope it does.

If it does not, the much more engaged folk on the list can give other
solution suggestions.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] What To Do when JAWS Won't Start Up

Hi everyone. I'm using a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 and JAWS 15. Today, I
tried turning it on and waited for the Windows sound to come and for JAWS to
be announced, but neither happened. I tried doing a hard reset but still the
same thing happened. I don't remember doing anything on the laptop before
shutting it down last time that would have caused this to happen, but wonder
if anyone can suggest some things for me to try. I can't remember how many
times I have to tab, for example, to get to # start-up options or whether I
have to up- or down arrow to get to the right one.

Thanks.

Michele

Re: [JAWS-Users] AdwCleaner: was Malware bytes

[Steve]

Thanks, Bob.  Yeah, I did forget the best part--the price!

I'm glad it seemed to work for you.  I know my client has had several people 
trying to get rid of the crap on her computer.  When I ran across that 
program, since a lot of other sites recommended either running in safe mode 
or some program where you had to make a purchase for it to supposedly clean 
the computer, I wass so excited when I ran it on her PC and it cleaned 
almost everything out.  I only had to go back in and delete one process that 
was scheduoled to run again in four hours.  After ten days, her computer 
still appears clean, and the program couldn't be more accessible.

Hi Steeve.

I'm always on the lookout for a good computer purger.

I decided to try Adwcleaner based on your recommendations.

First, since neither your message nor the Adwcleaner website mentioned the
price, I was glad to find it was free.

Second, your tutorial told me exactly what to expect.

Third, my  results showed me some registry entries I had never noticed so I
decided it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and clean them.

Finally, my computer is still working fine. So I think this is a keeper.

Thanks for your recommendation.

Bob

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] AdwCleaner: was Malware bytes

I am having issues posting to the Jaws list, apparently it may not like HTML
posts.  I previously posted this, but it may not have gone through.  So, I
modified the subject line so as not to hijack the thread.

I use a different piece of software than Malware Bytes which is much more
effective.  It as AdwCleaner and it is totally accessible with Jaws, as well
as with other screen readers.  I do some tech support, and it cleaned up a
client's computer that was seriously infected with spyware including browser
hijacks.  My wife also tried it on her computer that seemed to freeze
occasionally, and it resolved those issues.

This is one of the recommended programs for attacking some forms of spyware
and malware on BleepingComputer.com.

Here is my brief tutorial on its usage:

I thought I'd submit a post about an outstanding malware removal program
that is extremely accessible.  It is called Adwcleaner.  I used version
4.106.

I tried it about ten days ago on my computer and found a couple things.  My
wife had an issue with her computer freezing when doing downloads, and she
used this program this morning and it corrected the issue.

I have a client who had issues with several pieces of spyware such as global
updater, groovorio, roboot, and many more that could not be nuked with
MalwareBytes or a couple different anti-virus programs.  This person had
over sixty browser helper objects in Firefox, and these same programs that
ran in Internet Explorer were listed in various places in the registry,
under program folders and scheduled tasks.  It identified over 155 different
registry keys, and over thirty folders with malware.

Adwcleaner opens with a simple screen layout.  Under the actions menu, you
first hit the Scan button.  It will take a few minutes to scan.

On the results screen, there are several tabs.  These are tabs for each
browser (firefox, Internet explorer, google chrome if you have it), plus
tabs for files, folders, registry, scheduled tasks etc.  Under each tab, you
can tab into the list of items it has identified.  If you don't want to
clean an item, just uncheck it as you arrow down through the culprits.

Once you've reviewed everything, go back to the actions area and hit the
Clean button.  It will warn you to make sure you've saved data from your
other applications as it will close all programs.

When it says it will close all programs--believe it!  It means it!  It
closes everything, including your screen-reader.
Suggestion: Make sure you have a shortcut installed so you can bring your
screen reader back up about ten seconds after it closes.

When you bring your screen reader up again, it will tell you it needs to
reboot to finish the process.

When it reboots, you will be in a notepad log file showing what it was able
to remove.  The log file will also be saved, along with the quarantine
folder, under your root directory.

You can download AdwCleaner at

[JAWS-Users] Regarding Adwcleaner

[Mauricio Molina]

Hi Steve, 

The fact that this program is accessible using JAWS has me very interested.
However, in your instructions for using Adwcleaner, you mention having to
check items we would like to have purged from our computers: What I would
like to know is how will we know which items are necessary to remove and
which should remain? Can the casual computer user cause harm if they choose
to check all items without actually knowing what each item refers to, or is
every item found by Adwcleaner fair game? For instance, CCleaner, which I
recognize is not used for removing malware, seldom, if ever, is so invasive
that critical components are recommended for removal. 

Thanks for any additional information you can provide. 

Mauricio

Re: [JAWS-Users] Source manager (citations and bibliographies) in MS-Word 2013

[Brian Lee]

Hello Jason,

I am not sure of the version of JAWS you are using but I am using JAWS 16
latest build and I can use tab and shift+tab in the Manage Sources dialog
box.  You might try using the following shortcut keys for the various
controls in this dialog box:

Alt+N New entry.  This will present a dialog where you can pick the type of
reference and fill in properties such as title, author, etc.

Alt+S Search box.  Gives a search box for searching the master list.

Alt+s followed by tab moves to a combo box for choosing how the list is
sorted.  Use up or down arrow key.  The top of the list is author.  If you
arrow down and JAWS doesn't speak the change in the combo box you can use
Alt+r to move to the master list or Alt+u to move to the current document
list to check the sort order being used.   

Alt+B browse.  Allows you to browse for the source file.

Alt+R Master list.

Alt+u Current document list.

Alt+C copy.  You can copy from master list and paste to current list.

CTRL+V Paste

Alt+D to delete a selected entry.

Alt+e for the edit button to edit the selected entry.

Alt to bring up the system menu and choose close to close the box.

Under the reference tab of the ribbon you have the citation and bibliography
group.  If you use the citation submenu you can add an individual entry and
it will be added in a citation field.  If you tab past the Manage Sources
button you will find the bibliography button.  Use spacebar and in the
submenu you can use the bibliography menu item to insert the sources or use
the reference menu item.  If you choose the bibliography menu item the
sources will be listed and the list has the word Bibliography as a heading 1
style used.  If you choose reference from the submenu then the list will
have the word References at the top of the list and will also use the
heading 1 style.

When in the document you can use f11 to move to fields or shift+f11 to move
to previous fields.  Insert f5 will list form fields in the document and
citation and bibliography fields will be included.

The sources.xml file is found in
c:\users\username\AppData\Microsoft\Bibliography

Take care.

How do I use MS-Word's Source Manager with JAWS? When I select Source
Manager to add a reference, I am presented with a dialog. Using
tab/shift-tab simply says "Source Manager", and arrow keys don't navigate
among the controls or fields. The braille display at least presents the
field names but I haven't succeeded in entering data.

Suggestions?

I normally use LaTeX for this kind of work, which is obviously completely
accessible as it's based entirely on specially marked up text files and
BibTeX files for citations. Of course, LaTeX is my preference, but some
journals or colleagues may require MS-Word format, so it's useful to know
what my bibliography handling options are in this environment.
