Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7
Hi Linda, I had to get a 64 bit disk from Freedom Scientific before Openbook8 would work on my Win7 64 bit computer. Is your computer 64 or 32 bit? If your computer is 64 bit, maybe something happened along the line where the 64 bit disk wasn't necessary any more for Openbook8 to run on a Win7 64 bit system. All I know, which isn't much, was having to wait for that disk before I could run OB8 on my computer. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] How accessible is the VLC Media Player?
Hi, There are a lot of keyboard shortcuts, but... I’m looking to have VLC Media Player stream Internet radio such as that on ShoutCast.com, which is supposed to be feasible. However, using JAWS16 I can’t find a way to effect it. (JAWS isn’t reading several of the controls, by the looks of things.) I can get it to play files from a CD and on my own computer fine. BBC Radio is moving to streaming in HLS and a few related formats, at least the first of which the VLC Player is able to handle. Indeed, I can stream Internet anything with it at the moment. Any ideas anyone? (I’m uusing good broadband.) For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2015 11:48 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 issue Hi Kimber & Teresa, There is something called,Hhardware Graphics Acceleration, in Word, & you can read about it below. From: Jean Menzies via Jfw Just thought I'd share this for those who want to try it. The symptom. I've often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish. In going through settings, I came across an option to "Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration". I checked that and things seem to be much more responsive now. I'll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this, go into Options, Advanced, and the item is in there. If you use the, Alt + G keystroke, you'll get to it much quicker. From what I read on Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them. Hey, I don't need graphics anyway. haha. Hope this works. Jean Note From Mike B.: My settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y. Hi Jean & Ted, I went into my MS Word 2010 & played around with these 2 settings a little bit & what I found was, sometimes they would hold & sometimes not. So, when I found that they were both checked after a few attempts of saving these settings again,I got the hell out with the escape key! LOL LOL Note: I'm not sure but, it might make a difference in which order you check these options. I've got mine saved now &, don't want to play around anymore. From: Adrian Spratt The order in which you make settings turns out to be crucial in Word, as I discovered yesterday while tinkering with page numbers. I first set the page number location, then separately suppress the number on the first page, where the headings are. When I later tried to change the page number position, nothing happened until I un-checked the "different page" setting that suppressed the number on the first page.

Press CTRL+Shift+n to replace the list style with the Normal style. This will remove indentation so you might need to go into the paragraph dialog box to set indentation again if you want to keep it. One quick way to replace all bulleted lists in your document is to replace the style used for the lists. If bullets were installed through the ribbon choices then the style is "List paragraph." This style indents the paragraph, and text starts at 1.5 inches from the left edge of the paper or one half inch in from the default one inch margin. If bullets are inserted using the CTRL+Shift+l keystroke then the style is "List bullet" and text starts at 1.25 inches from the left edge of paper or 0.25 inches from left margin. Use insert key (caps lock key in laptop configuration) with F and listen for the style used. The "List paragraph" is the more common style used so if you want to retain the indentation then you replace it with the "Normal indent" style. Otherwise replace it with the "Normal style" and indentation will be removed and text will start at the default one inch margin. Here is how you can use Find and Replace for this purpose: 1. Press CTRL key with h. Focus will be in the Find What page of the dialog box. 2. Tab and if you find a "More" button use spacebar. If it is a button for which JAWS says "less" do not use spacebar. 3. Use shift with tab back to the "Find what" edit box. 4. Route JAWS cursor to PC cursor, do a page down, and then press home key. Read the current word to make sure focus is on the Format button. 5. Press left mouse button (second key from the left on the top row of the number pad) to launch the Format menu and then turn on PC cursor. Use up arrow to the Style menu item and press enter key. 6. Press the first letter of the style to be replaced until you find it. You are looking for either List Paragraph or List Bullet style. Press enter key on the name of the style to be replaced and focus goes back to the Find What box. 7. Tab to the Replace with control. 8. Route JAWS to PC cursor, do a page down followed by a home key, and do a left mouse button click on the format button. Turn PC cursor on again. 9. Up arrow to the Style choice and press enter key. 10. Use the letter N until you find the normal or normal indent style and press enter key. 11. Tab to the Replace All button and press spacebar.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and sleep mode
Hi Jason, Pay close attention to step #6 for your situation. These are steps on how you can put Jaws into sleep mode, take Jaws out of sleep mode or, make any other changes in the Settings Center for any program installed on your computer without the particular / target program running. Below are steps using Openbook as the example & putting Jaws into sleep mode. When you shift + tab into the application list & find the application you want, you need to tab 1 time into the Settings Center for that application. Pressing enter on the application closes the Settings Center. So, here is how I accessed the Openbook Settings Center: 1. While in Outlook Express I pressed Insert key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Outlook Express Settings Center. 2. I invoked the keystroke, shift + tab, to get into the application list. 3. I pressed the letter O, until I had Openbook highlighted. 4. I tabbed 1 time into the Openbook Settings Center. 5. I Typed, sleep, into the search edit field & waited a few seconds for the list to populate & arrowed down to Sleep Mode . miscellaneous. 6. Now, right here the spacebar needs to be pressed to toggle the options until Jaws reports, sleep mode enable and unload the synthesizer but, in your case you want Jaws to report, Disable. 7. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close. HTH Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 issue
I am having a problem getting into the advanced settings in Word. I get to options but when I click on advanced I am bounced back to the open document. What am I missing here? Thanks, Tom -Original Message- From: Mike B.

From: Jean Menzies via Jfw Just thought I'd share this for those who want to try it. The symptom. I've often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish. In going through settings, I came across an option to "Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration". I checked that and things seem to be much more responsive now. I'll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this, go into Options, Advanced, and the item is in there. If you use the, Alt + G keystroke, you'll get to it much quicker. From what I read on Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them. Hey, I don't need graphics anyway. haha. Hope this works. Jean Note From Mike B.: My settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y. Hi Jean & Ted, I went into my MS Word 2010 & played around with these 2 settings a little bit & what I found was, sometimes they would hold & sometimes not. So, when I found that they were both checked after a few attempts of saving these settings again,I got the hell out with the escape key! LOL LOL Note: I'm not sure but, it might make a difference in which order you check these options. I've got mine saved now &, don't want to play around anymore. From: Adrian Spratt The order in which you make settings turns out to be crucial in Word, as I discovered yesterday while tinkering with page numbers. I first set the page number location, then separately suppress the number on the first page, where the headings are. When I later tried to change the page number position, nothing happened until I un-checked the "different page" setting that suppressed the number on the first page.
