[JAWS-Users] how to stop drop box
Some time back I installed drop box. I am trying to get it to automatically starting. I used msconfig and removed it from the start up tab. A few days later it is back. I have done this several times and do not see anywhere that reinstalls it. I did not want to totally remove it in case there is a time when I may want to use it. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 365 subscription with Jaws 17
Jim: For a number of reasons which I won't bother you with here, I too am about to take the plunge into Office 365. My University has used it for the past year or so, and I've very successfully used Outlook e-mail as well, so I'm going to download and install it onto my personal computer. Your experience thus far is encouraging, since it seems that you are having no major accessibility issues. If there is something I should be aware of when getting things installed and set up, please let me know. I'm not the most computer savy person in the world, so please try to keep it simple.

I took the full plunge! I purchased the full Office 365 monthly subscription for the $9.99 per month. I wanted to let all you know that the Microsoft store is totally accessible with Jaws 17. Very easy to use. After buying the subscription, I went to Office.com, which is also totally accessible, and downloaded the full Office 365 suit. I went to a page on the same sight under my account, I added a second computer, and sent an invite to my laptop computer. I then opened that email on the laptop, followed the invitation link to download Office 365 to the laptop, then I installed it on the laptop. All went very smoothly with Jaws 17. What all do you get with Office 365? Word, Excel, Outlook, power point, and so on for all the 2016 versions of these programs. You also get 1 TB of OneDrive storage. You get 60 free minutes of skype per month to call land lines. You get full technical support 24/7. You get 5 licenses for computers, other licenses for iPhones, iPads, and also for android devices. All for either $9.99 per month, or $99.99 per year. I have spent most of today setting up the laptop and setting up email accounts in outlook 2016. All is working great.

Re: [JAWS-Users] error message after logging in windows 10
Hi, I get that message a lot, and I just press the okay button and everything has always been fine. I notice that I don't get that message near as much on the latest up date of JAWS 17. Don't worry about it, after I press okay, I have never had any trouble. It might be interesting to give FS a Tweet, because they tweet you right back.

[JAWS-Users] Reading PDF in inaccessible Fox It reader on a PC with JAWS
Hello gang. Fox It reader seems to be completely inaccessible to JAWS for reading PDF documents. My company forces us to open certain internal PDF's in Fox IT reader. JAWS does not even access the menu much less read and navigate anything in the PDF. Has anyone using JAWS hooked a Braille display to the computer and been able to navigate and read the PDF in Fox IT with JAWS running on the PC?

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with PDF document
Vicki, for some weird, strange reason, sometimes pressing the applications key or shift+f10 gives you choices that the right click doesn't offer. try pressing these keys to see what happens. also, what browser are you using? Firefox can automatically save the pdf instead of opening it online. but if you want to save the pdf after reviewing it online, there should be a save or save as option in the file menu of reader dc. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Vicki Sent: Friday, May 13, 2016 6:50 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with PDF document No, the link only says "get file" and I tried to right click to see if that worked anyway, and it did not. - Original Message - From: "Mario" To: Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with PDF document Vicki, when you land on the link to open the pdf, if you right click, do you have an option to save the link as... and enter on the name of the file?

Have you tried the convenient OCR. On occasion it has helped me. Once you run the convenient OCR you can arrow around with the jaws cursor and click on items.
