[JAWS-Users] Question About Language Changing On Tandem Sessions.
Hi everyone. My question is that every time I try to do a tandem session, the language changes to Spanish when I connect with another person, how can I fix this? I have tried fixing it by changing the voice profile, before doing the tandem session, but it still changes no matter what. I do use JAWS in English and Spanish, so I'm wondering if it might be a setting somewhere that I might need to adjust. If someone can answer this, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] trying o open a word document in protective view.
Good morning, Jim. Here are the steps you can use. 1. Press the Alt key and locate the File tab. 2. Down arrow to the Info option. 3. Press the right arrow to open that selection. 4. Right arrow until you hear the message pertaining to what Protected View is for. You should be on a button which allows editing of the document. Press that button by using the spacebar and the document should convert from Protected View to normal display. Different versions of Office call this different names but the functions are essentially the same. There may be a hotkey for that purpose but I don't remember what it is.

Re: [JAWS-Users] New Computer Initialization
When a system is first new normally you are required to complete the OOBE or out of box experience. In that case the only way to get that done is to use narrator. I have done it many times myself. Once that is accomplished then you may install your screen reader.
