[JAWS-Users] Starting Microsoft Narrator
There are several ways to start Narrator depending on which version of Windows is being used, however one way is common in Windows 2000 thru at least Windows 7, and probably 8 & 10. Open the run dialogue and type: narrator and then press enter. Windows XP: Press Windows key + U, to open the utility Manager, then Alt + N to start Narrator. Note: if Narrator is set to start with the Utility Manager,then the second keystroke is not needed. Windows Vista, 7 & possibly 8: Press Windows key + U, to open the Ease of Access Center, and then Alt + N to start Narrator. Windows 10: Press Windows key + Enter to start Narrator. HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! Note: It is my understanding that the keystroke for starting Narrator is supposed to change in a later update to Windows 10.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Spotify and Jaws
Understood about the level of accessibility. But with Pandora, when it's accessible, you can indicate which songs you like or dislike, thus narrowing the music that is presented to you. That's just one feature. I haven't tried Pandora in a while and I've never tried Spotify, but I'd find limited accessibility frustrating. As for Big Brother, isn't it reassuring to know he can be mistaken? Due to a mistake and subsequent laziness, I have my PC Audio and iDevices messages channeled to the same folder. So, unless you really have a double, Big Brother has sussed you out. He's just confused. In light of recent events, let's hope he stays that way. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jean Menzies Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 3:17 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Spotify and Jaws Thanks Adrian, But I haven't joined PC Audio list.

Yes, absolutely! I have been using Office 2016 since its release with JAWS 17 and now 18. VFO/FS has done webinars using Office 2016 as well, so yes, it is officially supported. 2. Yes, there are differences, but I don't think they will be too difficult to get used to. I upgraded from 2010 to 2013 to 2016, so I cannot be too specific because I do not remember much about the 2010 layout. Some items in the ribbon have been rearranged, and there are times when contextual ribbon tabs will appear once you have entered or selected areas where they are relevant (i.e., entering a table or chart, in the Instant Search edit field in Outlook, etc.) Especially for items I don't use frequently, I like to use the Tell Me feature found throughout Office 2016 to find items rather than searching through the ribbon (ALT+Q, type what you are looking for, DOWN ARROW to and select from the search results). Some ribbon shortcuts have changed. You will find that there are more instances in which activating a function causes a pane to open rather than a dialog; if it seems like nothing happened after you activate something, F6/SHIFT+F6 around to see if a relevant pane has opened. There are new features (new chart types in Excel, the Resume Reading feature in Word which will return you to your last place if you activate the Resume Reading button within the few seconds that it appears upon opening the document, Outlook Attach a File option initially displays recent files you worked on, tighter integration with online services, etc.) 3. I really cannot say for sure on this one because of my upgrade path...I believe I was asked to uninstall my previous version of Office before installing the new one... Good luck!

Jim's posts this afternoon have me hankering to upgrade to 2016. I'm really hoping, though, that the upgrade will eliminate an annoying problem FS, this list and I have been unable to solve concerning the clipboard interfering with JAWS in Outlook. So, my questions: Does anyone know if FS/VFO has announced they officially support Office 2016 now? The recent JAWS 18 upgrade notes suggests they do. I also have a call into FS about this. Second, are there big differences between 2010 and 2016, especially in the ribbon? (I don't use the JAWS virtual ribbon.) Third, when I upgrade, will my 2010 settings be retained? How about my JAWS settings for Office? As you might guess, I'm hoping for the least possible time-consuming transition.

So putting an icon for JAWS in the start-up folder will not provide speech on the log-in screen. Now that JAWS is speaking on the log-in screen, , you could do the following to help if you have the JAWS starting problem again. 1. Start the computer and wait until JAWS starts talking on the log-in screen. 2. Press tab until you get to the password for your user id, counting the number of times you had to press tab if JAWS again does not speak on the log-in screen, after waiting for a while when you turn the computer on, press tab the number of times you counted, enter your password and press enter. This should get you logged in.

Yes, absolutely! I have been using Office 2016 since its release with JAWS 17 and now 18. VFO/FS has done webinars using Office 2016 as well, so yes, it is officially supported. 2. Yes, there are differences, but I don't think they will be too difficult to get used to. I upgraded from 2010 to 2013 to 2016, so I cannot be too specific because I do not remember much about the 2010 layout. Some items in the ribbon have been rearranged, and there are times when contextual ribbon tabs will appear once you have entered or selected areas where they are relevant (i.e., entering a table or chart, in the Instant Search edit field in Outlook, etc.) Especially for items I don't use frequently, I like to use the Tell Me feature found throughout Office 2016 to find items rather than searching through the ribbon (ALT+Q, type what you are looking for, DOWN ARROW to and select from the search results). Some ribbon shortcuts have changed. You will find that there are more instances in which activating a function causes a pane to open rather than a dialog; if it seems like nothing happened after you activate something, F6/SHIFT+F6 around to see if a relevant pane has opened. T here are new features (new chart types in Excel, the Resume Reading feature in Word which will return you to your last place if you activate the Resume Reading button within the few seconds that it appears upon opening the document, Outlook Attach a File option initially displays recent files you worked on, tighter integration with online services, etc.) 3.
