Fernando,

You're a font of information. You're right, which you don't need to be told. 
Thanks. This will come in extremely useful.

Hi Adrian,

The fact that JAWS does not report nothing when manually reading empty headers 
and footers is true. However, if you press INSERT+F1 witting the document area, 
in addition to the normal Context Sensitive Help indicating that you are in a 
document's text window, the message displayed in the Virtual Viewer also 
includes information about how headers and footers are set.

Hi, Fernando. 

The problem with the page number location dialog is that once you make your 
selection, you're taken right out of the dialog. Thus:

Alt-n for insert
N, u to go to the page number location area Select either top or bottom and 
press enter Select 1, 2 or 3 for left, middle or right, press enter.

And the dialog disappears.

In any event, I've confirmed that, thanks to you and other listers, I finally 
got my default document the way I want. 

A note on JAWS' ability to confirm that page numbering is in effect. Here, the 
commands are alt-v for view, h for headers. You then arrow down through the 
document. No text is read unless you have text in the headers. Right now, JAWS 
says only header and footer for my first page, with no other indication that 
nothing is there. For the second page, where my page numbering starts at 2, the 
footer shows 2 for page number. It may seem obvious the way I'm explaining 
this, but it isn't when you go through the process.

Before, when my page numbering had an error, thanks to my setting page 1 
suppression before page numbering, JAWS gave me information. 

The only reason to post these points is to alert people to JAWS' limitations 
when working in Word 2010.

Hi Adrian,
This can be done on the Page Number Format dialog box; there's not set by 
default in any built-in style. There you can specify wetter to continue from 
the current section or where to start numbering. It is not so clear in the 
dialog (I'd have to see the help), but I supose the Start From radio button 
enables you to type the section number in which pages start to be numbered. 
Section breaks are introduced in the Breaks option on the Page Layout tab.
Anyway, since you have Word 2010, unless you need full compatibility with prior 
versions, you can insert the first page as a cober instead, which also 
simplifies visual inclusion of properties like document authors or dinamic 
dates.

Hope it helps!

[JAWS-Users] Issue with Thunderbird latest and pdfs resident on the web

2017-08-07 Thread Jim Pursley
I'm getting a buffering effect on Thunderbird when I scroll the inbox 
and write messages after reading pdf's resident on the internet - but 
not after reading pdf's which come as email attachments.  The key 
response delay happens intermittently, but often enough to be a bother 
until I reboot Windows and Tbird returns to its happy normal self.  
Windows task manager shows no untoward processes running, so I should 
have plenty of processing memory.


Running JAWS 18 latest build, Win7 and Firefox latest.  IE11 insists on 
opening pdf's in the browser no matter what I attempted (even looking 
for the add on to turn off)


FS email tech support suggests uninstalling JAWS 18 and reinstalling it, 
but I'm skeptical that it would accomplish anything.


Anyone else with this issue?

Hi Miriam,
Do you have the shortcut setup for your Jaws? Here are the steps to do that.
1. Press windows + M to go to your desktop.
2. Press the letter J until you hear Jaws 18.
3. Press the application key and arrow up one time and press enter on 
properties.
4. Tab two  times and you should hear short cut key. If it says none then 
press the letter J
  If it says shortcut key ctrl+alt+J then just press the escape key.
6. Now tab until you hear ok, then press enter. Another dialog box may come 
up just press yes or continue

Thanks, before David and the moderators pop me upside my bald pinhead, let me 
change the subject line. Smiles. I thank all of you for your prayers as I 
continue to battle my bladder cancer. I had two cancer tumors removed last year 
from my bladder, but one has now returned this year. So I am in the hands of 
God. I have no worries, I am totally in his hand and will except his sovereign 
will for my future. So let me thank all of you again for your support and 
prayers for my health situation. My wife and  I, appreciate them very much. 
Smiles.

Just pin Jaws to the taskbar, press the windows key+ the number row number in 
order that Jaws is pinned to the taskbar. For example on my computer, pressing 
Windows key+8, starts Jaws 18 every time. Smiles. I desire all your prayers

Hi Miriam,
Do you have the shortcut setup for your Jaws? Here are the steps to do that.
1. Press windows + M to go to your desktop.
2. Press the letter J until you hear Jaws 18.
3. Press the application key and arrow up one time and press enter on 
properties.
4. Tab two  times and you should hear short cut key. If it says none then press 
the letter J
  If it says shortcut key ctrl+alt+J then just press the escape key.
6. Now tab until you hear ok, then press enter. Another dialog box may come up 
just press yes or continue then you should be done.

Now you should have a shortcut key so when you press ctrl+alt+J it should start 
Jaws. Now if you use the other hotkey that now should work.
Mr. Ed

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to open Word 2010's normal.dotm file?

2017-08-07 Thread Adrian Spratt
David, thanks again. I did solve the problem completely last night by removing 
page numbers and starting over, which took very little time. Removing page 
numbers in Word 2010, for anyone interested, involves pressing alt-n for 
insert, then tabbing like crazy. There may be a shortcut, but I didn't take 
note of it.

A new problem after much success. I've located the file normal.dotm, edited and 
saved it. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and haven't figured out how to undo 
it. I'll make this as brief as I can.

First, several of you gave excellent instructions for locating the file. For 
me, the fastest was David's via the run dialog. Then at Mike's suggestion, 
opening the file with the applications key rather than immediately pressing 
enter gave me the ability to edit the file. Fernando's assurance that control-s 
would save the file was correct. (Sorry, Fernando, for neglecting to mention 
that my system is Windows 7. My folder structure wouldn't let me follow your 
location instructions.) All my initial questions have been answered by this 
great list.

What I'm doing is making my page number location preference my default. As part 
of that scheme, I want to suppress numbering on the first page. I believe the 
current error results from my having gone through the suppress page number 
process before setting the page number location. For what it's worth, I did so 
because I could suppress the page number through a normal dialog without having 
to locate and find the default normal.dotm file.

I originally planned to put the page number in the bottom right corner, but 
changed my mind so that it's now in the bottom middle. It seems my most recent 
attempt to accomplish what I want succeeded. That is, the bottom middle is 
blank on the first page, while numbering begins at 2 at middle bottom on the 
second. 

Here's the problem. the first page has number 1 in the bottom right corner. I 
haven't yet figured out how to stop that happening. I thought changing the 
location would reverse my previous location, but not so, although only for that 
first page.

Any more ideas?

Hi Adrian,
Despite the fact that it is normal that JAWS does say anything when you save 
with CTRL+S if you correctly opened the template for editing (the more you 
might hear is the sound assigned to the Process Completed event if you have the 
Office Sounds add-in installed and you checked the Provide Feedback with Sounds 
item in Word's advanced options), I think the way in which you're being 
suggested to open template is not the most convenient. This is for two reasons: 
exact file location varies on Windows XP compared to newer versions and, the 
most important, unlike standard documents, template files by default create a 
new document based on them when you open with ENTER, so you need to open the 
context menu to choose the Edit option instead, like when you are on a standard 
document you must choose New if you don't want to edit the current file.
To directly edit the Normal.dotm template regardless of your operating system, 
do the following:1 . Open Word and, when opened, close the blank document with 
CTRL+W. Even when you'll not directly edit a blank document, blank documents 
are based in Normal.dotm and this file might be in use by a blank document when 
you try to save it.
2. Press CTRL+O for the Open dialog.
3. Tab to the File Type combo box and select the option for All Word Templates 
or something similar.
4. Tab to the Address Bar (or Look In combo box if you have Windows XP) and see 
if you're in the Templates folder. If not, drop down the Look In combo box and 
choose Templates. If you have Windows Vista or newer and you're not in the 
Templates folder, tab to the folder tree view and, at the top (press HOME to 
quickly go there) find Templates and press ENTER to go to that folder.
5. Tab to the list of files and find Normal.dotm and then press ENTER.
