[JAWS-Users] Modifying the quick access toolbar in word 2013

2015-06-11 Thread Kimber Gardner

Hi All,

If you don't use the qat in word you can skip this message.

For anyone who is still reading. I got a new installation of word
recently, which means I lost the modifications I made to my quick
access toolbar. 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? I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Kimber

I have a great little gadget from Radio Shack.  It connects to the base where 
the handset cord plugs in then you plug in the handset cord to this gadget.  It 
has another cord with a standard mini plug that you plug into the jack on your

Hi Kimber,
There is an easier way to do this, but I can't remember it right now. What I
did was to tab to the qat and press the applications key on each button.
There is a remove option in there. Then I went into the ribbons and found
the buttons I wanted to add. When you press the applications key on each
button, there is an "add to quick access toolbar" option in there. there's
also a custumize button at the end of the qat, but I haven't used it. Hope
this helps.

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, Hereï¿½s 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:

e..
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/207780-windows-10-heres-what-microsoft-should-have-done-instead?mailing_id=1276983&mailing=ExtremeTech&mailingID=F98C71CE61AECF34AC8B64A964276FEA

f..
Â·

Â· 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.

Â· 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.

Â· So why is it so hard to convince users to move to a brand-new, free,
feature-packed, more efficient OS?

Â·
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/205320-microsoft-windows-10-will-be-the-last-version-of-windows

Â·

Â· 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.

Â· Imagine how good a desktop OS Windows 10 could have been

Â· 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

Â·
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/201601-microsoft-desperately-wants-you-to-move-to-windows-10

Â·

Â· and great integration with the leading mobile platforms.

Â· 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.

Â·

Â· Itâs not like there isnât anything to fix in Windows

Â· 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.

Â· 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. Windows 10
is supposed to address this problem, but weâ

Mike, in the disk cleanup option of my hard drive properties, I don't 
see any "old Windows updates" item, but if I tab once beyond this list 
to "view files"
and activate it, another list appears with "old windows updates" plus 
additional items that did not appear in the first list, like service 
pack backup files 306 KB, setup logs 3.45 KB, windows cleanup 1.9 GB, 
system queued error files 4.57 KB.


and Pam's question was is, it, safe, to cleanup (delete) old windows 
updates? in addition, is it safe to cleanup (delete) the items I mentioned?


your and other input from others are appreciated, calling Carlos,

Windows Updates to be removed, this means there aren't any old updates.
Also, each of those options will say how much space is currently being used
by that particular item.
Take care.

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!

Re: [JAWS-Users] McAfee!

1. Open the program.
2. tab one time.
3. use your up and down arrows to see how things are set up.
4. When you press enter on an item, always go to the top of the page and 
start arrowing down to see where you are and what has changed.
5. One must learn this process themselves, you have total control of your 
mcafee product.
6. simply put, there are too many choices to explain on this list, you need 
to read and learn how to do things from the program.

7. Mcafee has a very nice help section built into the program.
No need to apologize, everyone uses different programs to get the same task 
done.

Good luck...

On my computer, after pressing the spacebar on the, Disk Cleanup Button, & 
the disk analysis is completed a list is displayed showing the things you 
mentioned, & 1 more tab is the button for Description of the files you will

Go to the all programs list, and in there find Accessories, open it, find 
system tools and open it, and in there is Disc

Clean. Click on it and away you go.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 10, Here's what Microsoft should have done instead

Very interesting, Trish.
The funny thing is, I use Windows 8.1 all of the time and don't have any
trouble with it.
Thanks for the info.

Windows 10,  Here's what Microsoft should have done instead

. 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? 

.

-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 -

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

I don't know but it has been being processed since 9:00 this morning.  I
know it's a book but I don't think it's a thousand pages.  Is this normal?
