[JAWS-Users] Step to have Jaws announce spelling errors.

[Pinky]

Hi Gang,

If you want Jaws to announce that you have a spelling error  I will post
below how to turn it on. How it works is if you miss spell a word and you
either arrow on to the miss spelled word Jaws will announce "spelling
error."   It does not announce any spelling errors when you just have Jaws
read the whole document or the whole line. The only time it announces
"spelling error "

" is when you arrow word by word or arrow on to the miss spelled word.  I
believe this feature only works in MS Word or Outlook.

Below is how to turn it on.

 

If you go to the quick settings dialog while in the desired application with
the JAWS key+v command. You can turn on the auto correct feature and then
there is a spelling error detection option that can be selected in order to
provide this type of feedback. Therefore, once you activate the quick
settings dialog, type in auto in the search edit field. At this point, arrow
down to auto correct and press the spacebar to check this item. Next, tab
over to okay and hit enter. 

 

Once this is done, go back to the quick settings dialog, type spell in the
search edit field. Now, arrow down to:

Spelling error detection 

Press the spacebar to set this to your desired option, tab to okay and hit
enter.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to readthe columns

[Kimber Gardner]

The 1x1, 1x2 etc. was part of what I was having trouble with. I wasn't
sure which number was the rows and which the columns. It took some
trial and error to get it sorted.

Thanks for the help.

Kimber,

It looks as though Theresa and George have answered your question, but 
meanwhile I located the specific page on that website for the Word 2013 
textbook. It costs $90, $10 more than I paid a few years ago for her Word 2010 
text. Here goes:

Thanks for the link. I did some poking around but couldn't find any

Re: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters

[wayne smith]

Yes, I know-I learned the hard way.  I have an old Asus and I bought one for
my wife.  In my book they are great.  Just do FN key+f9 and it toggles the
pad off and on.  I think that somebody on the list said that something has
to be changed in the bios and it requires sight.

Wayne,

I have an HP laptop for work and have not been able to find any way to turn
off the touchpad. I actually taped a piece of cardboard over the touchpad so
I wouldn't keep touching it accidentally. Not exactly an elegant solution,
but it works.

This is a huge drawback of HP laptops, imo, and the main reason I would
never buy one for my personal use.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

[George Martinez CPA]

Kimber,

Adding a little to what Teresa said see below.

There are many variations of this but here is one way.

1. Press ALT and then arrow to the right to Insert and press space bar.
2. Now TAB over until you hear Tables, it will be 3 or 4 TABS.
3. Press Space Bar and it brings you into a grouping of boxes.  you will be
in the top left box. JAWS will say something like "1x" which is your row
number.
4. Now ARROW down an JAWS will say "2x" then "3x" and so on.  Arrow own to
5.
5. Now arrow to the right twice.  This will give you a beginning Table 5
rows long and 3 columns across.  Press Enter.
6. This brings you back into your Word document and you are in the upper
left cell of your new Table.

If you want to mess with the width of your columns then from here press your
Applications key.
7. Arrow down to Table Properties & press enter.
8. You land in the Table properties TAB where you can set many parameters
for your table.
9. ALT + U moves you to the Columns TAB and then ALT + R takes you to the
Row properties TAB.  There are also TABS for Cell and All Text.
10. In the Column TAB TAB once an you land on Preferred width an it is
checked by default.
11. TAB once an you land in the Spin Box to set your preferred column width.
12. I forget the keystroke to move between TABS but you could use that to
move through the TABS as well.

This sounds a little complicated but like most things it is fairly straight
forward and gets easier the more you practice at it.  Don't be afraid to
create tables modify them then dump the document and begin again until you
get just what you want.

would definitely be interested in that book in particular.

Thanks again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to readthe columns

[Teresa Arroyo]

Hello Kimber,

To do a table in Word 2013, do the following,
Press alt to go to the ribbons.
Arrow right or left til you get to insert.
Go down arrow and you will find insert table. Press enter and it wil say 
dropdown list or something like that. Press enter or space bar.
Then you wil find a list of different table you can creat such as 1x1, 1x2. 
and so on then 2x1, 2x2 and so on. The first number refers to number of 
rows, the second the number of conumns.

For example, 1x2, would be one row and two columns.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Teresa Arroyo

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me out.

I need to format a document with two columns. For the sake of example
let's call them cause and effect. Obviously, or maybe not so obvious,
each effect in column B is associated with the cause listed on that
same line in column A.

What would be the most jaws friendly way to format the document so the
associations are clear both visually and via jaws? Would tables be
useful? If so, I need a little tutorial on setting that up.

I am using word 2013 and jaws 16 though I do have access to jaws 17 if need 
be.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

[Adrian Spratt]

Kimber,

In case no one has any better ideas, I've just looked over CathyAnne Murtha's 
MS word 2010 textbook and notice that she explains how to create columns using 
tables. Your guess was a good one. I realize you're using Word 2013, and I 
wouldn't feel comfortable posting a copy of her text. Since I've never done 
this task myself, I can't explain from experience. But if you're willing and 
able to lay out the cost of CathyAnne's Word 2013 textbook, it might well be 
worth the price. At the following link, you'll find a webpage where you can 
contact her to confirm that her 2013 book provides similar instructions. To 
place an order, you may have to do a little more searching, but you'll be on 
the right website. I have no connection with her or her company other than 
having purchased her textbooks:

Re: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters

The pad is the cause but I have an HP laptop and it does not have a simple

that's good that you resolved the issue you were having.
I would think there would be a way to easily disable/enable the mouse pad.
this way you can enable it just when it is needed, unless you also use
screen magnification.
BTW, it is really referred to as a track pad, the mouse pad refers to those
pads you'd get to facilitate using an optical or ball mouse.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

[Annette Carr]

Using a 3 column table is best.  Column A is the description of the item,
Column B is the A column of related info for the Item, and Column C is the B
info for the item.  Each row would contain the associated information for a
single item.  Depending on how wordy your information is, you might consider
having your paper landscape instead of the default of portrait.  

Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with instructions on how to accomplish
this in Office 2013 as I've never use it.  

HTH,
Annette

Control-shift-8 (on the number row above the letters) is a toggle that makes
those characters appear or disappear. Yes, it is an MS Word feature. If that
doesn't work, please post again because there's a possible JAWS answer, too.

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder

[Moderator]

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we
all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal
place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no
matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the
confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the
list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that
help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last
than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then
let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with
JAWS is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of
Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take
it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences,
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make
another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the
bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a
person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous
messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also
please place your message above your signature line so as not to force
people to read it before they get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an
attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply
delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are
over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on
here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines,
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you
may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account.
Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the
directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a
number of such messages then the server will remove your email address
automatically.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech
swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or
services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given
subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the
subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and
members should only post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that
in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the to: field often
times such rules get fouled up and in effect do not work properly. Also
cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the
fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This
practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any
member names.

Please do not reply to a posted question simply to say you don't know
