For example, I used to be able to press control 1 and get the word count of my current document. Control 2,3,4, and 5 allowed me to accept and reject changes. I miss these functions! It's been so long since I changed the qat that I forget how to do it and googling doesn't seem to be helping very much. Could somebody give me a quick tutorial on modifying the qat in word 2013?

Re: [JAWS-Users] What player in /w8.1 works with jaws?
Either Alt or right mouse click opens the menus of VLC. I have the new version, and my only problem so far is finding the promised resume feature. Also, be careful not to over generalize about DVD's on Media Player. I don't know what error message you get, but, apparently, the driver set in that program is not all it could be; some disks will not budge, others play like a charm, and give you access to WMP's full-featured menus and shortcut keys. It startled me the first time I put a disk in and got an error; I thought I'd done something stupid to damage the program. I should say that I run under Windows 7, but it is probably the same WMP, as I understand Ms has abandoned the program.

Windows 10, Here�s what Microsoft should have done instead
Windows 10, Hereâs what Microsoft should have done instead a.. By David Cardinal on June 9 2015 from the b.. Extreme Tech Staff c.. 'Document source Link: d.. e.. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/207780-windows-10-heres-what-microsoft-should-have-done-instead?mailing_id=1276983&mailing=ExtremeTech&mailingID=F98C71CE61AECF34AC8B64A964276FEA f.. · · Windows 10 is a well-meaning effort by Microsoft to mollify Windows 8 haters and coax Windows 7 loyalists to upgrade â all while stubbornly sticking to its goal of a single OS for every possible platform. And by framing the problem that way, Microsoft has given itself a nearly impossible task. · To the companyâs credit, each new build lurches closer to being usable, although with new bugs every time, it is difficult to evaluate how smooth the final release version will be. Best case: It may earn the grudging acceptance of Windows 7 users who refuse to move to Windows 8. And part of that acceptance will come not from sudden enthusiasm for a new way of interacting with the desktop, but from a desire to take advantage of the clear core benefits Windows 10 provides in performance, security, administration, and memory usage over Windows 7 and even Windows 8. · So why is it so hard to convince users to move to a brand-new, free, feature-packed, more efficient OS? · http://www.extremetech.com/computing/205320-microsoft-windows-10-will-be-the-last-version-of-windows · · Apple does it all the time. Simply put, because Microsoft didnât build Windows 8 or Windows 10 for Windows users. It built them to further its own business strategy of using the power of the once-ubiquitous Windows platform to extend its dominance into the rapidly growing mobile space. The result is an OS whose features are now flipping and flopping with each new build â as Microsoft tries to fix problems of its own creation. · Imagine how good a desktop OS Windows 10 could have been · What if instead, after realizing what a terrible mistake Windows 8 was, Microsoft had made the truly brave decision to come clean and change its strategy? If Windows 10 had been designed from the beginning to be the best possible desktop OS, and the thousands of developer years spent trying to make it everything to everyone were instead spent providing services and applications for the mobile OS platforms people actually want? If in tandem Microsoft was willing to let go of its sub-3% market share in mobile, it could also have spent the cash it used to buy Nokia to build out its cross-platform services offerings instead. We could have had a really excellent desktop OS â worth paying for â · http://www.extremetech.com/computing/201601-microsoft-desperately-wants-you-to-move-to-windows-10 · · and great integration with the leading mobile platforms. · Certainly Microsoft has woken up to providing competitive versions of its applications on Android and iOS. But imagine how much further along it would have been if it had put real work into the effort starting years ago. Perhaps we wouldnât have to use third-party utilities to sync our information between Google and Outlook, for example. Or OneNote might have supported syncing on Android during the first several years it was available, instead of only recently. Pick any Microsoft desktop technology you access from your iOS or Android device and you can come up with a list of features that would make it much more useful. · · Itâs not like there isnât anything to fix in Windows · Anyone who thinks Microsoft didnât focus on desktop users as it evolved Windows 8 and 10 because its desktop OS has âno need for improvementâ hasnât spent enough time wrestling with the inscrutable hex error codes from Windows Update, or debugging driver version mismatches, or finding information theyâre sure is somewhere on their disk. While Windows 10 isnât final, judging by the builds so far, all of those problems are still there. Even support for high-resolution displays is still spotty. Windows 10 adds some new Zoom options, but there is still no serious scalable-font solution that works across the full range of possible displays. · As a good example of how this alternate direction would have worked, letâs look at the Control Panel. No one doubts that it is an old, crufty system for managing a computer. A desktop-focused OS project would have overhauled it completely while preserving its functionality. Instead, Microsoft seems determined to replace it in bits and pieces with new âtouch-friendlyâ settings that arenât much more intuitive, and that become even more frustrating when you need to go back to the old system for pieces that are still missing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Old Window's Updates Removed?
I see. Well, I didn't have the "old updates" option. Did have the "window's update" it was already checked. This is similar to disk cleanup, with the exception of the window's update. I performed the steps, freeing up 389/mb. However, when I went to window's update, there still is the very long 200+ list of updates going back to 2011. So, I guess my way of thinking what is "old" doesn't mesh with what window's thinks apparently,lol Thanks again for all your help! Trish - Original Message - From: Michael B.

Windows 10 is a well-meaning effort by Microsoft to mollify Windows 8 haters and coax Windows 7 loyalists to upgrade - all while stubbornly sticking to its goal of a single OS for every possible platform. And by framing the problem that way, Microsoft has given itself a nearly impossible task. . To the company's credit, each new build lurches closer to being usable, although with new bugs every time, it is difficult to evaluate how smooth the final release version will be. Best case: It may earn the grudging acceptance of Windows 7 users who refuse to move to Windows 8. And part of that acceptance will come not from sudden enthusiasm for a new way of interacting with the desktop, but from a desire to take advantage of the clear core benefits Windows 10 provides in performance, security, administration, and memory usage over Windows 7 and even Windows 8. . So why is it so hard to convince users to move to a brand-new, free, feature-packed, more efficient OS? . http://www.extremetech.com/computing/205320-microsoft-windows-10-will-be-the -last-version-of-windows . . Apple does it all the time. Simply put, because Microsoft didn't build Windows 8 or Windows 10 for Windows users. It built them to further its own business strategy of using the power of the once-ubiquitous Windows platform to extend its dominance into the rapidly growing mobile space. The result is an OS whose features are now flipping and flopping with each new build - as Microsoft tries to fix problems of its own creation. . Imagine how good a desktop OS Windows 10 could have been . What if instead, after realizing what a terrible mistake Windows 8 was, Microsoft had made the truly brave decision to come clean and change its strategy? If Windows 10 had been designed from the beginning to be the best possible desktop OS, and the thousands of developer years spent trying to make it everything to everyone were instead spent providing services and applications for the mobile OS platforms people actually want? If in tandem Microsoft was willing to let go of its sub-3% market share in mobile, it could also have spent the cash it used to buy Nokia to build out its cross-platform services offerings instead. We could have had a really excellent desktop OS - worth paying for - . http://www.extremetech.com/computing/201601-microsoft-desperately-wants-you- to-move-to-windows-10 . . and great integration with the leading mobile platforms. . Certainly Microsoft has woken up to providing competitive versions of its applications on Android and iOS. But imagine how much further along it would have been if it had put real work into the effort starting years ago. Perhaps we wouldn't have to use third-party utilities to sync our information between Google and Outlook, for example. Or OneNote might have supported syncing on Android during the first several years it was available, instead of only recently. Pick any Microsoft desktop technology you access from your iOS or Android device and you can come up with a list of features that would make it much more useful. . . It's not like there isn't anything to fix in Windows . Anyone who thinks Microsoft didn't focus on desktop users as it evolved Windows 8 and 10 because its desktop OS has "no need for improvement" hasn't spent enough time wrestling with the inscrutable hex error codes from Windows Update, or debugging driver version mismatches, or finding information they're sure is somewhere on their disk. While Windows 10 isn't final, judging by the builds so far, all of those problems are still there. Even support for high-resolution displays is still spotty. Windows 10 adds some new Zoom options, but there is still no serious scalable-font solution that works across the full range of possible displays. . As a good example of how this alternate direction would have worked, let's look at the Control Panel. No one doubts that it is an old, crufty system for managing a computer. A desktop-focused OS project would have overhauled it completely while preserving i

Re: [JAWS-Users] Modifying the quick access toolbar in word 2013
Hello Kimber, Below are steps for controlling the quick access toolbar in Word 2013. First though, use Alt with the numbers to launch the particular item on the QAT and not CTRL. 1. Use Alt+F followed by Alt+T to go into Word options. 2. In the list of categories press Q or use down arrow to the quick access toolbar category. 3. Tab to the list of the groups of commands to choose from or press the first letter. If you want to choose from all commands then press A. 4. Tab to the list of commands in the group you chose and either use down arrow key or first letter navigation to get to the command you want. 5. Tab to the add button and use spacebar. 6. Tab past the remove button and make sure in the next box you select the command to be used in all documents. 7. Tab again and you find the list of commands that have been added to the toolbar. If you select one by using up or down arrow key until focus is on the command you can tab a few times and use the move up or move down buttons to adjust their position in the list. Of course, if the command is at the top of the list already there will only be a move down button and if it is at the end of the list you won't have a move down button. 8. Tab to OK and use spacebar.

Re: [JAWS-Users] PDF
Hello, Are you sure that the pdf is being processed? I have noticed that sometimes when I press enter on a link or open a pdf file that JAWS will state pdf is being processed when I have the pc cursor active but when I route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor and press the up and down arrows that the accessibility options will appear. I then have to left mouse click to get these options to be in focus with the pc cursor or I could left mouse click on either option while still staying with the JAWS cursor.
