Re: [JAWS-Users] opening pdf files on IE webpage

[Shai]

Hello Vicki,
If you go into Adobe Reader without a document open and open the
accessibility set up assistant under the edit menu, there is an option
that allows for customizing accessibility for screen readers. One of
the options on step 4 of 4 of this multi-page screen is display
documents in the web browser. If you uncheck this box and then tab to
and press enter on the done button, any document opened will only
display in Adobe reader where it can be viewed if accessible or saved.
I hope that helps

Re: [JAWS-Users] opening pdf files on IE webpage

[Stephen Bennett]

Hello

another way is to find your PDF in the Links List, Insert F7. Then tab to
the button called "Move to link" and press it. Then press Context Key and
see if there's an item called Save Target As in the list of options. 

All the Best

Stephen

Is there a way to stop a pdf file from opening on the webpage, but rather
downloading instead?

I am using Jaws 14 and 17 with IE 11 and the latest version of Adobe.

I have tried entering on the links, using the spacebar, right clicking,
using Jaws key and also the context menu, but they all open rather than save
the file. There is usually no option to save the file once it is opened as
well.

Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word text moving on its own

[Shai]

Hi Wayne,
Are you working on this document on a desktop or laptop? Does this
behavior happen in other places besides word? If this document is
being composed on a desktop computer and a mouse is connected, I would
try removing the mouse temporarily to see if this behavior subsides or
place it in a position where it will not be touched.
If this document is being composed on a laptop one item which comes to
mind is that perhaps you are inadvertently touching the touch pad?
This is usally down near the bottom of the keyboard and will cause the
position of the cursor to move. Most laptops have an option that
allows for the touch pad to be disabled.
I hope this helps

[JAWS-Users] ListTbl Script & Users Guide, From TopTechTidbits

[Mike B.]

3) Doug Lee has written clever JAWS scripts to use standard table navigation 
keystrokes in list view controls:


http://www.dlee.org/listtbl/


ListTbl Users Guide
Doug Lee
Last Revised January, 2014

This short document explains how to use the ListTbl scripts for navigating 
ListView controls with JAWS in any application.

This document is laid out for easy navigation using JAWS HTML heading 
navigation commands: H will move through all headings, 2 through major 
sections,
and 3 and 4through any subsections or subsubsections.

Table of Contents
list of 5 items
. What Is ListTbl?
. Script Installation Instructions
. Commands and Features
. Usage Examples
. History and Notes From the Author
list end

What Is ListTbl?

These scripts make standard HTML table navigation commands (Ctrl+Alt with 
arrows, Home, End, etc.) apply to ListView controls, such as can be found in
Windows Explorer. This facilitates scanning down columns other than column 1 
without having to type numerous or difficult key sequences. There are also
a few added commands for clicking cells and column headers without having to 
use the JAWS cursor. In JAWS 13 and later, the Table Layer commands also 
work
on supported controls.

Script Installation Instructions

To install these scripts on a new system:

list of 3 items
1. Install JAWS if this has not already been done.  This will require 
administrative privileges on the PC.
2. Run JAWS as the user for whom the scripts are to be installed. This and 
the following steps must be performed for each user of the PC who will be 
using
JAWS with these scripts.
3. Run the script installer and follow its instructions. By default, this 
installer will install the scripts into all available JAWS versions and 
languages
on the computer. You may unselect specific version/language combinations 
during installation if necessary.
list end

Commands and Features

The primary feature of these scripts is to make the standard JAWS table 
navigation commands work in ListView controls. This works in all supported 
JAWS
keyboard layouts and uses the same keystrokes in each as appear in HTML 
environments. In JAWS 13 and later, the Table Layer commands also work on 
supported
controls.

In addition to the standard table navigation commands though, these scripts 
add a few commands for left-clicking and right-clicking "cells" and column
headers in ListViews. These added commands work only in ListView controls 
and do not carry over to HTML environments. The following table lists the 
available
functions with the commands for each supported keyboard layout:
Summary: Added ListView Support Commands

table with 6 columns and 5 rows
Function
Common/Desktop Layout
Laptop and Classic Laptop Layouts
Kinesis Layout
Table Layer
Description
Left-click cell
Ctrl+Alt+NumPad /
Ctrl+Alt+8
Ctrl+Alt+I
NumPad /
Left-clicks the current cell in the ListView.
Right-click cell
Ctrl+Alt+NumPad *
Ctrl+Alt+9
Ctrl+Alt+O
NumPad *
Right-clicks the current cell in the ListView.
Left-click header
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+NumPad /
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+8
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I
Shift+NumPad /
Left-clicks the column header above the current cell in the ListView.
Right-click cell
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+NumPad *
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+9
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+O
Shift+NumPad *
Right-clicks the column header above the current cell in the ListView.
table end

Note: Though standard JAWS Table Layer commands do not exit the Table Layer, 
the above Table Layer commands will do so. This is because clicking cells
and headers usually causes new or reorganized screens to appear, whereas the 
standard JAWS Table Layer commands simply navigate among cells. As a side
effect, it will be necessary to use commands outside of the Table Layer in 
order to double-click cells.

Usage Examples

In the following examples, the Common/Desktop layout is assumed. For other 
layouts or the Table Layer, substitute appropriate keystrokes as necessary.

Summary: ListTbl usage examples

table with 2 columns and 5 rows
Task
Action(s)
Read each cell in the current ListView row with its header.
Use Ctrl+Alt+Right to move one cell at a time to the right across the row, 
Ctrl+Alt+Left to move left, and Ctrl+Alt+NumPad 5 to announce the current 
cell with header and position information.. The normal JAWS ListView 
commands for reading cells (JAWSKey+Ctrl+1-9/0) also work here but do not 
provide a means for examining more than the first ten columns of a wide 
list.
Find the largest file in a Windows Explorer file list
Either use Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right to move to the Size column and then scan 
through sizes manually with Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down, or
list of 3 items
. Find the Size column using Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right.
. Left-click the Size column header twice with Ctrl+Shift+Alt+NumPad /, once 
to sort the list by ascending size, and once to reverse the sort and place 
the largest file at the top of the list.
. Use any desired means to move to the top row, a good one being 
Ctrl+Alt+Home to move to column 1 of the top row.
list end

Re: [JAWS-Users] Address Book VS. Contacts List In Outlook 2016?

[Tom Behler]

Mike:

This is good to know.

For whatever reason, I have always found the address book, accessed via
control shift B., to be easier to navigate and work with than the contacts
list, accessed by control 3.  I've found this even in earlier versions of
Outlook, such as Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010.

Not sure why this is the case, but hopefully, it's just a matter of personal
preference and what works best for a given individual.

I'd be interested in the thoughts of others.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word text moving on its own

[Martin Blackwell]

I don't know the cause, but I know one cause for this behavior. I've seen it
many times. It happens on laptops when the touchpad has not been disabled.
It's very easy to brush against the touchpad with the palm of your hand when
typing. That makes the cursor jump around. The user has no idea this is
happening. Let me be clear, I don't think this is the only cause of this
behavior, but it is definitely one cause. I've seen it more times than I can
count.

Hi Steve,

Only after I updated to the latest version, V2.1.1, today.  This update came
out May 20, 2016, but if you update to it, it will cost you a key code! So,
if you don't have an extra key code don't bother, & I'm not going to update
our other computers because the updates in this version aren't worth
updating for!  I only did it to see how the new version worked, & a mistake
it was, at least for me.  Someone more knowledgeable than my self might get
some benefits out of the updated version, but not us.  Here's the updates
for this 2.1.1 version:

Last Updates:
**
v.2.1.1 -19-5-16
More reliable installer
Work offline feature (using right click on
Tray icon)
Fixed eset issue (hang on users that have eset and "email intergration"
enabled)
Some other minor fixes

v.2.1 -23-11-15
Fixed installation problems
Fixed runtime errors
Send-To for Windows 8 and 10
Simple Mapi mail now available (Send emails through other programs) for
Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Fixed Help menu
Faster and easy installation

Take care.

Hmmm, are you getting that message Mike?  I haven't in at least a year with
OE and Win 7.

You can go into the registry and reset the count:
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{..what ever your idenity
is.}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0. And look for the key
CompactCheckCount. The default is supposed to be 100, but you can change
that.

Also, check out these instructions on how to disable compacting in OE:


1. Do the Run command.

2. In the new window, type regedit and press OK

3. The registry editor opens

You need to make sure that you've  scrolled to the top of this list and left
clicked once on My Computer so
it is highlighted.

Now click Edit and choose Find.

4.  Type Compact Check Count and click Find Next.

The compact check count will increase by 1 every time you close Outlook
Express, by default, when it gets to 100 it will ask you to compact.

5.  The number within the registry is based upon hexadecimal, and 100 in
hexadecimal is 64.  It will take a few moments for the computer to find,
when it  appears double left click the mouse on Compact Check Count


6.  Then enter 0 as the value data and press OK


7.  To finish, click File and Exit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Transferring music to an iPhone using iTunes, windows 10 and Jaws 17

[Cher Bosch]

The easiest way may be to create a playlist for your iPhone on the PC using
iTunes. Then after connecting your phone, you can select your phone, then
music and select the playlist you created. After this, you will only need to
make additions or deletions to the playlist in iTunes on the PC. Then every
time you sync your phone, the changes will be made for you automatically.

Hi Everyone,



I have JAWS 13, Windows 7 and Word 2010.  I am using the Windows key and the
letter B to see if I am connected to the internet.  Is there another JAWS
command to tell me how many bars I have on my screens display, or the
strength of my internet connection?



 Right now, I have been having some problems with my internet provider and
I would like to report back to them when I loose connection.  Any help will
be greatly appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word text moving on its own

Agreed, the paste method makes all the difference. I was just posing one 
example of how inserting text from another source can cause JAWS to read 
erratically.

Does it matter which Paste method you use? If you type Shift-F10 from within 
your document and read the context menu, you'll find a list of paste options.

You can paste the text alone without formatting, merge the formatting with what 
is in the current document, preserve the original formatting, etc.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Selecting Text in Firefox

[Kimsan]

With all do respect, everyone is simply trying to assist and the CTRL alt v
also allows you to coppy formatted text as is, unformatted text and html.
Since you are pasting from the web, and want to preserve the formatting, I
would select that option, the html option to see if that'll meet your
expectation.

If unsuccessful, I'd say just do it using IE since IE works in this case,
and not ff.

If firefox is not working for you and you are more successful completing
this task, why stick to using ie for this task.

[JAWS-Users] Strange MS Word Reading Issue

[kelby carlson]

All,

I have used Kurzweil 1000 to OCR a PDF document and make it an RTF
file. I am reading that RTF file in MS Word. For some reason, JAAWS
will read the word at the end of a line combined with the word at the
beginning of the next line. The two words will sound like one word.
So, just as an example, if the words "of" and "the" are separated by a
line break, then JAWS will read the word as "ofthe". This seems to be
a problem with only RTF files of this kind, but I'm not sure what's
causing it. Unfortunately I do need these documents to be in RTF, as
otherwise for whatever reason the footnotes will not be properly
converted.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word text moving on its own

The times I most often encounter this problem are when I've copied text from
other sources into a document. Word inserts code that I can't always isolate
and identify. For example, I may have what looks like a two-return break,
but when I delete what I assume is one of the return characters, it remains
a two-line break. Sometimes I figure out that the culprit is the character
called a vertical tab. I wish I could search for that character and replace
it, but I haven't worked out how to, despite having done some online
research. 

In any event, once an errant code enters a document, it can cause JAWS to
behave unpredictably. I'm in the habit now of checking each time I start
inserting text into the middle of a document.

Sometimes I refresh the screen with JAWS key+escape. I'm not sure if that
solves the problem, but I do think the action causes JAWS to pause and take
a breather. JAWS does have a tendency to get hyperactive.

JAWS 17, Win7, no braille display.

I'm afraid this is not very helpful, but I know exactly what you are talking

proof what I've written, I sometimes find portions of my text in a

I haven't been able to figure out any pattern regarding when this occurs
making it sort of random which is why I have never mentioned it on the list.
I had a half-baked theory that I was inadvertently hitting some key on my
Braille display that was causing the cursor to jump, but I just don't know.
Are you using a Braille display when this text jumping happens to you?

If anyone else has seen this behavior, I'd like to hear about your
experience. Maybe we can figure out what's going on and report it to FS or

Re: [JAWS-Users] Selecting Text in Firefox

[kelby carlson]

I don't want to paste unformatted text. i don't know how much clearer
I can state this, but I want to copy over text from Firefox, paste it
into a document and have the text retain its original format from the
webpage. Neither of the options in the JAWS quick settings dialogue
will allow me to do this; and before anyone asks, I have tested both
on a number of different websites. Now if doing what I'm trying is
only possible in IE, someone should just say that so I can stop
wasting more time on this.

 Hi,
 A resounding yes! You can do that in Firefox just as much as within
 IE. I wanted to tell everyone that I am using the portable version

 it works just as well as the installed version of Firefox for what I
 do at least. I was able to play YouTube videos with it and everything.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word text moving on its own

[Jason White]

Does it matter which Paste method you use? If you type Shift-F10 from within
your document and read the context menu, you'll find a list of paste options.

You can paste the text alone without formatting, merge the formatting with
what is in the current document, preserve the original formatting, etc.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word text moving on its own

[Adrian Spratt]

The times I most often encounter this problem are when I've copied text from 
other sources into a document. Word inserts code that I can't always isolate 
and identify. For example, I may have what looks like a two-return break, but 
when I delete what I assume is one of the return characters, it remains a 
two-line break. Sometimes I figure out that the culprit is the character called 
a vertical tab. I wish I could search for that character and replace it, but I 
haven't worked out how to, despite having done some online research. 

In any event, once an errant code enters a document, it can cause JAWS to 
behave unpredictably. I'm in the habit now of checking each time I start 
inserting text into the middle of a document.

Sometimes I refresh the screen with JAWS key+escape. I'm not sure if that 
solves the problem, but I do think the action causes JAWS to pause and take a 
breather. JAWS does have a tendency to get hyperactive.

JAWS 17, Win7, no braille display.

Hi there,

Just a few days ago I had this happen as I was writing a short document in Note 
Pad. I'm running Jaws 16.0.4468 on a Win 7 PC, no braille display. 
I don't recall if I tried this, but perhaps unloading and reloading Jaws might 
help?

Thanks,
Norma

Hi there,

Just a few days ago I had this happen as I was writing a short document in
Note Pad. I'm running Jaws 16.0.4468 on a Win 7 PC, no braille display. 
I don't recall if I tried this, but perhaps unloading and reloading Jaws
might help?
