Hello, Leonard. I don't know what version of Windows you are using. I am using Windows 7 64-bit Pro. While I didn't have the error you describe, I did have an entry point error that would not go away. After considerable research, I found a very detailed article that helped me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Hi Adrian, You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said. Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word. To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options. In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options. In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names. In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific symbols and, in practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”, “ra”, etc. Hope it helps! -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 10:45 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016 Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version of Word. Can anyone suggest how: 1. To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd automatically appear as superscript? 2. To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? I looked at the intermediate settings for anything that might help, but nothing leapt out. Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to Word 2016. Thanks.

In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version of Word.

Now that I am retired and have time on my hands; I would like to try and write programs again. I keep getting led around the mulberry bush when trying to find out how and where to learn where we totals can go for learning just for fun and on what platform the practice can be exercised. I use Jaws 15 and have Windows 7. I can and would graduate to whatever I needed to if it would help.

Which site were you trying to purchase from, and which browser versions did you try? I know Google Chrome worked for me on some sites whee IE didn't, but I couldn't get Google Chrome to work with versions of Jaws earlier than 17.

The JAWS key-f does not give superscript information for me.

I still need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each character I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is.

In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version of Word. Can anyone suggest how: 1. To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd automatically appear as superscript? 2. To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? I looked at the intermediate settings for anything that might help, but nothing leapt out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart
Dave and list, Dave has listed the methods I would try when frustrated by a "confirm" or "purchase" button. In IE11, I find that if I can't locate the button with the JAWS cursor, chances are nothing is going to work. However, websites that don't work with IE11 are increasingly working for me with Chrome. Dean Martineau's newsletter this past week links to a lecture on browser accessibility. Referring to HTML5 content, the speaker said that IE11 picks up only 50% of controls. Chrome and Firefox were somewhere in-between, and Edge is at 100%. These percentages don't reflect my browser experience. For example, she gave a higher percentage to Firefox than Chrome, but my experience with Firefox 60 is so bad that I've given up on it. I imagine the reason for the difference between the speaker's numbers and my experience is that HTML5 is only one coding system that websites use. All the same, the percentages suggest that IE11 is falling further and further behind. I hate to promote Chrome because its file menu system is so cumbersome and often not intuitive. But in terms of speed and greater access to Web content, it seems to be the best at this moment, May 20, 2018. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Dave...Oregonian Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 11:56 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart I have no problem using Amazon.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Thanks, Rebecca. Meanwhile, I determined that JAWS key+f, the keystroke for format information, will verbalize if a character is superscript. I just twice went through the entire process of adding superscript and subscript to my default speech and sound scheme, both times with the modified version saved and confirmed as my default, but nothing has changed. I still need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each character I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is. Also, I'm still looking, but I can't find the control in Word for automatically putting letters after ordinals in superscript. Why did MS and VFO make each part of this difficult when it was so simple in previous versions? Rhetorical question. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 11:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016 Aha!

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart
On Hollar.com, there are no variables. There are no elements other than the quantity edit field which is set to 1 by default and the add to shopping cart button. You enter the quantity of the item you want if if it is more than 1 and click on the button to add it to your cart. But no keystroke will activate it with JAWS or any other screen reader.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Adrian, for what this is worth, smile. The Microsoft support page says: Insert subscript or superscript text Applies To: Word for Office 365,Outlook for Office 365,Word 2016,Outlook 2016,Word 2013,Outlook 2013,Word 2010,Outlook 2010,Word 2007,Outlook 2007,Word Online,Word Starter 2010, Less article Superscript and subscript refer to numbers that are positioned slightly higher or slightly lower than the text on the line. For example, chemical formulas use subscript (H2O), and an exponent is often formatted as a superscript (X4). Examples of Subscript and Superscript formatting Make text subscript or superscript list of 3 items 1. Select the text that you want to format as subscript or superscript. 2. Do one of the following: list of 2 items nesting level 1 On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Subscript. Or press CTRL+=. the subscript command in the font group On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Superscript. Or press CTRL+SHIFT+=. the superscript command in the font group list end nesting level 1 Note: Keyboard shortcuts do not work if you are using Word Online. 3. To undo the formatting, click the Subscript or Superscript button again, or repeat the keyboard shortcut. list end I tried this, and JAWS 2018 does not tell me that the th in 4th, for example is written in superscript. In Office 2010, under options, proofing, I can choose to have superscript and subscript used or not. I've played with settings, but again, JAWS 2018 does not tell me. Perhaps there's a setting in JAWS that needs to be enabled that I don't know about? Smile. Or perhaps Word is ignoring instructions? LOL. I've not asked a sighted person to check.

Neither is happening with Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018.

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart
Gerald, Out of curiosity, I went to hollar.com. Yes, found the same issue you report. This shopping site does not play well, as compared to Amazon. Even if I make sure to select a color, style, or size and make sure that there is a quantity in the edit spin box, pressing on either the "Add to Cart?" button or the "Added" button does not give any feedback. Moreover I'm not familiar enough with the site to know just how to proceed to checkout to see if the items are in the cart or not. I could not find an element with words like "checkout", "proceed", "go to", or "view cart". I also suspect that this site updates itself periodically without warning so as to wipe out the current search list, so that added a level of frustration. I'll stick with Amazon for now.
