Re: [JAWS-Users] issue with Internet explorer11 on Windows10 when wanting to add a website to a folder other than favorites JAWS 17.0.1806
Hi "Shai, I went into the add favorites box and tab to folders. The new Jaws update does not announce when you enter the create in folder combo box. If you arrow down then it will announce the folder name. If you tab away and tab back to the combo box it will not announce unless you arrow down or up again. Look to me like this is a Jaws issue.

To duplicate this issue try the following: when on a web page press alt a to add to favorites and press enter. Next, tab across. The first item that you should land on is a combo box with a list of folders which JAWS does not seem to announce. The user however, can arrow down this combo box and add the website to the chosen folder. Is anybody else encountering this issue? All other items in that area such as the new folder button ok and cancel seem to announce normally.

[JAWS-Users] Is the following a JAWS 17 issue or a windows 10 issue?
Hi to all. Anyone have the following problem when down loading a program or what ever, or transvering a folder or file from one drive or folder to another or what ever? I am seeing the following. You would start the transfer and or down load and you would see the following message Get less details checked. So you would tap your spacebar to uncheck that and the get more details would pop up which is what you want but it tells you that the get more details is’' not actually checked. So to get the get more details to be checked to get more details you tap your spacebar. But when you do tap your spacebar thinking that you’ll check the get more details the get less details pops up and it states that it is checked once again. So which is giving you the accurate info. Are you getting the more details when you have the less details checked or are you getting the more details when the get more details is checked like it should be checked? See my issue that I’m having? Many Many thanks. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing fonts in an existing documents
Hi. Before pressing shift-control-f, or control-d (both do the same thing), you need to select the text whose font you want to change. It's easiest when you wish to do this for the entire document: control-a. Otherwise, use the usual selection suspects, such as shift-control-paragraph for a paragraph, etc. Once text is selected, press either shift-control-f or control-d to enter the font dialog. You land right away on a list of fonts. This list is navigable by first letter. Press the first letter or two of the desired font to go right to or close to the one you want. If all you want to do is change the font, just press enter here to exit the document and save your change. If you also want to change font size, keep focus at the desire font, then tab twice. Once again you land in a list. Arrow down to the size you want. Here again, if you want only to save the font and size changes, press enter to exit the dialog and save your changes. Color is a little more complicated, so please post again if you also want to make that change. Line spacing is done in a different dialog, which can also be explained. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Al Sorrentino Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2016 8:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Changing fonts in an existing documents Hi Everyone, I am using Windows 7, Word 2010, and JAWS 13, on a laptop.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing fonts in an existing documents
Hi Al, Okay this is what I did to change the font in only the current open document: 1. First make a copy of the document before you make any changes in case something screws up. This way you will still have your default / original document. 2. Open the document, & select all text with the, Control + A, keystroke. 3. Press, Control, Shift, + F, for the font dialogue, & tab through making your font style & size settings changes. 4. Tab to the, Okay button, & press enter. Do not choose the, Default button. 5. Press, Alt + F4, to close the document, & you will get a dialogue asking if you want to save the changes, spacebar the, Yes, button. You have now changed the font style & size for this particular document only. HTH Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time! If you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S".

Hi Al. This is Helga. Howa reyou? For fonts, try to do controld D, adn that will take you to the fonts and so n. Just use the arrows keys to find the font you want and letter navigation. For instance, if you want Times New Roman, prss t and go down an dyou iwll find it,and then for size of th efont just tab and for tab an d follow the prompts and just do ok button and selcect it. You are done! For double spacing that is different steps! You can go top o ffile and slect the entire document and then do the font shortcut that I told you above. Hope this helps you!

To download the latest release, visit the Downloads web page. JAWS •Added an "Explore Utilities Folder" item to the Utilities menu located in the JAWS window. In Windows 10, this enables you to quickly open the folder where you can explore various JAWS settings folders, launch the Synthesizer and Braille Manager to add or remove speech synthesizers or braille displays, remove product activation, and more. Previously, you would have to search for "utilities" in the Start menu to locate this folder. This menu item is also available in Windows 7. •In Windows 10, resolved an issue where JAWS would unexpectedly become unresponsive for several seconds when switching between apps. •Addressed a reported issue where text in the Virtual Viewer could not be copied with MAGic running. •Resolved a customer reported issue encountered on certain computers where the HJPad spell checker was not loading the dictionary. •In response to requests from customers who are creating domain specific scripts, added a new function, GetElementXML, which returns the XML for the element at the Virtual Cursor. •When using the Windows touch keyboard, resolved an issue encountered with some international versions of Windows where Touch Typing was not working as expected.

[JAWS-Users] Using and sharing your OneDrive
Good morning Jaws Users group, Many of my group members wanted to know how to use OneDrive. I decided to share these notes with you. Below is the way I do it in w-10 with Jaws. How to set up and use the OneDrive back up for yourself and how to share a folder with others. Open your personal folder link under the start area if you have it set up that way, go down to OneDrive, press enter. Or, type OneDrive into the search edit box, press enter on OneDrive desktop app. Or, if OneDrive is on your Taskbar, press enter on it there, or press its shortcut keystroke windows key+the number of its order on the Taskbar. Or, press the windows key, up arrow to, All apps, press enter. Down arrow to the A's, tab one time, down arrow to the O, press enter twice, you will be in the programs and apps starting with O, press enter on OneDrive. Now you will be in a list of default OneDrive folders, that you can use, or you can create your own folders in OneDrive. In this example, I will create my own folder under the main default folder list of OneDrive. While you are in the list of default folders under the main OneDrive folder list. 1. Press Control+shift+N, for new folder. 2. In this example, I will type the name, "Jaws users", then press enter to create this new folder. 3. Copy the files or folders you wish to back-up, and paste them into this new Jaws Users folder. Do the same thing if you wish to share this folder with others by a OneDrive link , copy and paste any files into this new folder. Now we need to sink our OneDrive folders if you wish too, you do not have to sink your OneDrive folders if you do not want too. 4. Highlight the new folder, in my case, Jaws users, do not press enter. 5. Press the applications key, down arrow to, Choose OneDrive folders to sink, press enter. 6. Now, you can choose a check-box to sink all folders. Or, uncheck this, tab to the list view of folders, only check the folders you wish to sink to your computer by pressing the Spacebar. After checking all the folders you wish to sink, tab to OK, press enter. Now, How to share this new OneDrive folder and its contents, with others through a OneDrive link. 7. Now, highlight your new folder, in my case, Jaws users, do not press enter. 8. Press the Applications key, go down to, Share a OneDrive link, press enter. By pressing Enter, This automatically pastes, a OneDrive link to this folder, that you can share with others, into the clipboard. 9. Now, open an email to the person you wish to give access to this OneDrive folder and all its content, in my case the Jaws users list. 10. Paste the OneDrive link into the email, this will give that person a link to access the folder you are sharing with them. What does it mean to sink your OneDrive folders? When you choose to sink your OneDrive folders on your computer. You have a copy of these files online, on your OneDrive page. You also place a copy of these files in your OneDrive folder. Now, the advantage of doing it this way is: When you are inside the OneDrive folder and inside a text file in one of your shared folders, for example. Whatever changes you make to that text document, are automatically changed in the text document stored in OneDrive. Can I use the default folders of OneDrive, to place my audio or text files into for back up, or for sharing with others? Yes, you can use them the same way, as I explained above. OneDrive is a cool and easy way, to share large audio or text files with others. Microsoft gives each person a free 15 GB's of storage space on OneDrive. I am currently sharing three OneDrive links to three different folders on my OneDrive on my computer, with no issues. If any of you still have questions about using OneDrive, please let me know. Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

Re: [JAWS-Users] equalizing volume for mp3 files
Rick, I installed it and when attempted to run, I receive the messages that the files are read only. I brought up the folder and for the files tried to locate where to turn that off. Any suggestions? -Original Message- From: Rick Justice Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2016 10:40 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] equalizing volume for mp3 files Hi Lenny, Look on the Jaws-users website for MP3 Gain.

What is the model number of your system?

I have a lap top with an ILM key on it and it is not having any problems at all, but my towers both a 32 and 64 bit systems lost their license. I removed the update and put the version from last month back on and the dongle works again on the 64 bit. After lunch I'll take a crack at the 32 bit which my wife uses.

To download the latest release, visit the Downloads web page. JAWS •Added an "Explore Utilities Folder" item to the Utilities menu located in the JAWS window. In Windows 10, this enables you to quickly open the folder where you can explore various JAWS settings folders, launch the Synthesizer and Braille Manager to add or remove speech synthesizers or braille displays, remove product activation, and more. Previously, you would have to search for "utilities" in the Start menu to locate this folder. This menu item is also available in Windows 7. •In Windows 10, resolved an issue where JAWS would unexpectedly become unresponsive for several seconds when switching between apps. •Addressed a reported issue where text in the Virtual Viewer could not be copied with MAGic running. •Resolved a customer reported issue encountered on certain computers where the HJPad spell checker was not loading the dictionary. •In response to requests from customers who are creating domain specific scripts, added a new function, GetElementXML, which returns the XML for the element at the Virtual Cursor. •When using the Windows touch keyboard, resolved an issue encountered with some international versions of Windows where Touch Typing was not working as expected. With Touch Typing, a key is typed when the finger is lifted from any of the keyboard buttons. In addition, if a triple tap is performed on a keyboard button, the panel of alternative characters now opens as expected. Braille •In response to customer feedback, if you type "girlfriend", "boyfriend", "girlfriends", and "boyfriends" using contracted braille, these are now properly translated. •Resolved an issue where JAWS would sometimes not detect a Focus Blue braille display after bringing the computer out of hibernation. •Resolved a customer reported issue where the contents of the Windows Secure Desktop or the Windows Lock screen were not being shown in braille. •Resolved an issue where the Placement of Status Cells option in the Startup Wizard would become unavailable if it was changed to None. This option should only be unavailable if a braille display that does not offer status cells is connected. Microsoft Outlook •Addressed a reported issue where the checked or unchecked status of shared calendars was not being shown in braille. •When pressing INSERT+H from a message list, resolved an issue where Outlook specific hot keys were not being displayed. Microsoft Word •If the data in a table cell contains line breaks, JAWS now shows the first line of data up to the first line break on the braille display. To review the rest of the line in braille, users can press the Next Braille Line or Previous Braille Line commands or pan through the text. Web Browsers •In response to customer feedback,
