Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Microsoft 2013
OK. Thanks for your input. I looked through my information at work and the upgrade had already been ordered for me. However, I was not sent or did not receive the new disk. I have asked the Help Desk to make the change on Wednesday. I will hold my breath to see what happens.

JAWS 15 worked okay and I did find it better then 14 and if you can get them to update Jaws as it is not as friendly with 2013. If you have any more question please ask.

I am having problems with them both but one of them will not acknowledge the alt key. Any suggestions on the problem? Ironically, my personal computer was upgraded this year as well with little problem. The circumstances were similar as the upgrade was from 2007 to 2013 in all three machines. The only difference is my personal computr has JAWS 15 and my work computers have JAWS 14. I appreciate the responses.

Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on PDF
Trish, In addition to the Openbook suggestion, if you have JAWS 16, you can simply press the JAWS+Spacebar and then the letter O for OCR and then the letter D for PDF. The convenient OCR will recognize the page, and it's pretty fast. Then in the OCR viewer window, you can select all with Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C to copy. Paste into Notepad to save the text. Very convenient.

I have experienced so many problems over the years using the Freedom Import Printer, that I simply quit using it. As explained below, there is a work-around that is actually much more direct and stable. Instead of going through Adobe, open the PDF directly through Openbook. You use the standard Openbook folder/file open command, control and o, or go through the file menu. Although it might not be necessary, I would cursor down in the file type box and pick PDF. Otherwise, the dialog boxes work the same as for any Windows program. The above eliminates all the hassle and potential crashes when using Adobe and the Freedom Import printer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with excel
Jaws can be set to read the cells in many ways. There are specific settings in the Quick Settings section. 1. While focused on Excel, press INSERT+V to open the Quick Settings dialog. 2. Arrow down to the beginning of the texdt or use the Search window and type something like "read cell contents". 3. The easiest way is to press the letter T twice. That takes you to a setting indicating that Jaws should read the cell contents. 4. Now use first letter navigation C, pressed twice. 5. You will be in the settings for cells. Here's the great part of Quick Settings. If you aren't sure, just highlight a setting, then tab over and there will be a text box explaining what each setting does. The text explanations change, depending on which parameter you have highlighted currently. Before doing anything, look through these. 6. You can try a change, make a note of it and then if you don't like the results, open up Quick Settings again and try another setting. Excel settings for Jaws are quite extensive. I suggest you figure out what you want to do and then try to find the setting that makes Jaws do that. Reading cell contents is one of those settings. You can also have Jaws read the column or row settings in Excel but that's for another message.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making blank lines appear between paragraphs in Word 2010?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making blank lines appear between paragraphsin Word 2010?
I think often that the blank line isn't what they want. One press of the ENTER key tells Microsoft Word that it is to begin a new paragraph, and it adjust the line and spacing between lines heights the text accordingly. One would have thought however that a blank line between paragraphs would make editing and drafting documents easier. -Original Message- From: j Bron Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 2:59 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Making blank lines appear between paragraphsin Word 2010?
