Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple Folder Names
Hello Jerry, One way you can do this and avoid a lot of cleanup is as follows: 1. In File Explorer or Windows Explorer move focus into the folder where the subfolders reside. 2. Select all by using CTRL with A. 3. Use shift key with the application key and find the "Copy as path" option in the menu. Press enter on that menu item. 4. Open a blank document in Word and paste what you copied by using CTRL with V. 5. On the first line that shows the entire path followed by the name of the file or subfolder move focus to the first letter or character of the subfolder or file name. This will be the first character past the backslash that divides the main folder and the subfolders. 6. press Shift key with the Home key to select to the beginning of the line and use CTRL C to copy that text. This is the path up until the subfolder or file name that you are selecting and copying. 7. use CTRL with H. 8. Paste what you copied into the Find What box. 9. Tab to the Replace All button and use spacebar. 10. Answer OK when Word tells you the number of replacements made. 11. Use CTRL H again, select and remove the text from the Find What box and type a " (shift on apostrophe). 12. Tab to the Replace all button and use it. 13. Answer OK. When the path is copied Windows uses an opening and closing quote. Steps 11, 12 and 13 are for getting rid of the end quote at the end of the file or subfolder name. A different approach might be needed if there are any quotes in the subfolder names. There are ways to do this task from the command line but I have found there is usually more cleanup needed as extraneous information ends up in the file you create using some of those other methods. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS rpair error message
Hello Sadam, I don't know if this will work so if you try it and it doesn't work please don't hold me responsible. On my system the FSWOW64PROXY folder is in Freedom Scientific shared files at the following path: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Shared\fsWow64Proxy Perhaps you could copy this folder to a backup location, delete this folder from the Freedom Scientific Shared files and then try the repair or installation. If the repair or installation is having trouble with something in that folder the problem might be resolved by removing the folder and then doing repair or installation. If you have moved it and backed it up you could put it back if it doesn't work. Again, I haven't fully investigated this so I can't vouch for this working but you might give it a try. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Tandem
Hello Scorpio, You can use JAWS tandem center to help your friend. Under the JAWS Utilities menu find the JAWS Tandem menu item and arrow twice to the right. Arrow up and you will find the menu item for getting a meeting ID. Press enter key and then press spacebar on the Get button. Your friend can use the keystroke of Insert Alt T to get the box where the ID you give can be entered. The letters are not case sensitive. You can temporarily suspend a meeting by using insert with Alt and tab key. You disconnect from the meeting by using the Insert Alt T command. Only the controller can suspend temporarily but either party can disconnect. You can copy and paste text but not files. Insert with CTRL Shift V can be used by the controller in order to use video if desired. Both systems will be changed to using Eloquence as the synthesizer. I think that is still true. If your friend has JAWS in a different major language then both systems will need to use that major language. There should be no problem between systems with different dialects of English. If you get a meeting ID you need to give it to the target user within 60 minutes or you will need to get another one. If sessions are terminated and not suspended a new ID is necessary. I haven't run into any trouble with a user's computer firewall but if there is a problem the exception that a firewall will need for the tandem center session is for: Tandem.freedomscientific.com With the port being 12000.

[JAWS-Users] Windows 10 Emoji
In a text editor such as Microsoft Word or Word Pad (not Notepad) in Windows 10 there is an Emoji panel that can be accessed by using Windows key with period or after a pass through keystroke Windows key with semicolon. Has anyone got this to work in Word? All I can access is the Recently Used icons but there is no announcing as you use the arrow keys. Tabbing and shift tabbing should go between the various categories such as People, Animals, Transportation, etc. but this does not work for me. If I arrow down a few times in the Recently Used category and press enter key focus does not leave the panel. I need to use Alt tab to move away from the window and Alt tab back to it in order to be back in the main document window. Sometimes doing a screen refresh a couple times puts focus back into the document. The item inserted is spoken when back in the main document but not when in the Emoji panel. The only way I have got the feature to work is when using Narrator in Word Pad. Besides writing a script does anyone have any suggestions for making this work? I will appreciate your input.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Copying a Table from an Email to Word
Hello Pam, I am not sure but it might be that the table is being treated as plain text. If that is the case then after pasting it in Word you can select the text and convert the text to a table. You will need to know how many columns to use and what type of mark separates the columns. Once you select the text use Alt followed by N followed by T, and then arrow up to the Convert Text to Table option. When you press enter key you can then choose how many columns to use. Tab across the controls and you will find a box for picking the type of mark that separates the columns. If it is a tab then pick tab in this box, otherwise, pick the appropriate mark. The bottom of the list also has an option for "Other" and if you choose that you can tab and enter the separating character. Chances are good that it is a tab mark separating the columns. Use the OK button to finish the converting. There is a setting in Outlook settings for having all mail read in plain text. You can uncheck this item if it is checked. Use Alt F followed by T to go into options. In the list of categories go to the last one listed, which is the trust center. Tab to and press spacebar on the trust center settings button. Use up arrow to Email security. If you tab through the controls one of them is for reading all standard mail in plain text. If the checkbox is checked you can use spacebar to uncheck it. Use the OK button. This might help for tables you receive in the future. Again, I am not sure if the table is being treated as text when pasted in word but if so then you can convert it. If it is actually still being treated as a table and not plain text then the conversion item will be Table to Text and you will need to find a different method for having your table paste with its formatting intact.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox reader view
Hello Adrian, You might want to try pressing Alt V followed by R. This should turn on and off the reader view. I have a CTRL Alt R shortcut key assigned to a Remote Incident Manager program and so when in Firefox I just use the view menu. For anyone interested in getting reader view to work in Chrome, it works quite well but needs some setting up. Here are some steps to follow for anyone wanting to use the reader view feature in Chrome: 1. Locate your shortcut for opening Chrome, whether it's on your taskbar, desktop or within the Start menu. Right-click it or use the application key and open Properties from the contextual menu. 2. Tab until focus is in the Target edit box. the file path for the Chrome application is shown in this field. 3. Add a space after the path text and then the following: --enable-dom-distiller 4. Tab to the Apply button and use spacebar or click Apply with the mouse. 5. Close down all instances of Chrome. Icons in the system tray such as Hangouts or Google Now will need to be closed. 6. Test out the Distill mode by opening Chrome from the shortcut you edited. Go to a page containing an article. Use the Alt key and up or down arrow to the “Distill page” menu item and press enter key. If using the mouse click the icon with three lines in the top right-hand corner and choose Distill page. To go out of Distill mode you can use Alt with left arrow key. This will load the page again in the usual manner. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Fusion question
Hello Loy, The following applies to a desktop configuration. Keystrokes will be different for a laptop configuration. In the Hotkey Layout menu found under the ZoomText Application menu there is an option for explaining the keystroke differences between the desktop and laptop configurations. 1. With Fusion already opened move into the Fusion window either by using Alt with tab key or CTRL with caps lock and U. If using the mouse just double-click the Fusion item on the taskbar. 2. Click on the Reader tab at the top of the fusion window. If using the keyboard use CTRL with tab key until the Reader tab is in focus. Tab to the spin box where you can adjust the rate. Up and down arrow keys adjust one percentage at a time. 3. Use the OK button when the rate is where you want it. There are a couple ways to save the changes so that your new settings load each time you start Fusion. To save your changes as default settings: 1. Click on the ZoomText application menu button. If using the keyboard you can use up arrow until focus is on the tabs and use left arrow until you find the button. Use down arrow to open the menu. 2. Use down arrow to the configuration menu and then right arrow into the submenu. 3. Choose Save as Default from the submenu. 4. When you click or use the enter key on Save as Default you will be asked to confirm. Either click on Yes or tab to the Yes button and press spacebar.

For a JAWS frame I think the only way would be to write a script and use the Run Script or Run ScriptEvent option. If you go into the frame options in the frame manager and go where you can add actions to your frame there is no built-in script for spelling the contents of the frame, at least not that I can tell.

Re: [JAWS-Users] free youtube to mp3 converter question?
Hello, You might consider using the search box in File Explorer or Windows Explorer. After opening File Explorer or Windows Explorer use CTRL E to move focus into the search box. There are a lot of different criteria you can use when searching but here are a couple you might try. The first one gives results for MP3 files for this month. The second one gives results for MP3 files from yesterday, the third one gives results for all files and not just MP3 files worked on after January 31 of this year but before today. You can copy and paste the below examples to try each one. I think the first one will likely be sufficient. Don't press enter key after typing or pasting the information into the search box, instead just hold down CTRL and press tab key twice to move to the results list. Modified:this month type:.mp3 Modified:02-12-18 type:.mp3 Modified:>01-31-18<02-13-18 I hope this works for you. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] links in a document
Hi Patti, Being that the links were coming from a different program even though the link was removed the text attributes might not have changed. The steps I gave in my first message were for links created in word using the hyperlink field. The CTRL with shift and f9 still might remove the link but the text that is left might not match what you want. You might want to check the text for which you removed the links and see if the attributes changed or if you have to change them. If you use JAWS key F on the text that was a link you can hear the attributes announced. If at this point you need to change the font, font size, color, etc. of the text you removed the hyperlink from, and if you have nearby text you want to match, here is what to do. Select at least one character of the text you want matched and use CTRL with shift and C to copy it. Select the text that you removed the hyperlink from but which retained the attributes applied by the origin program, and use CTRL with shift and V to paste the formatting you copied. Again, if you copy the links from another program you might just want to use paste special and choose unformatted text. However, if the links were created with Word fields then using CTRL with shift and f9 is a quick way to do it. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making the first sentence in a paragraph a header?
Hello Judy, If you actually mean a header then the following doesn't apply. I am thinking you likely mean that you want to make the first sentence of a paragraph a heading. The following applies in Word: You can select a sentence by pressing function key 8 three times. If using a mouse in Word you can hold down CTRL and do a single left click on a word to select the entire sentence. You can use a Word built-in heading style or one you have created. To use heading 1 style use Alt with CTRL and 1. This makes the selection a heading 1 style having a 16-point size of the Calibri Lite font and the font color is blue. If you use CTRL with Alt and 2 you get a heading 2 style, which is the same font and font color but the size is 13 point. Using CTRL with Alt and 3 will use a heading 3 style, which is the same font but size 12 point. If by chance you mean you want the first line of a paragraph to be a heading then just select the line by moving focus on to it and using shift key with down arrow to select it. You can then use shortcut keys for the appropriate heading. There are of course many styles to choose from but the first three levels of headings are quite often used in Word documents. If you actually mean you want to create a header where text goes above the document in the empty white space of the top margin then of course steps are different. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry
Hello Jerry, In Word, place the cursor where you want to insert the logo. Use Alt followed by N followed by P for choosing a picture to insert. Browse to the PNG file and insert it. JAWS recognizes the inserted picture as an object. Use CTRL with shift and O to select the picture. JAWS should speak the height and width of the picture at this point. Press enter key. When you press enter key the "Lay out options" pane should appear. It might come up and have keyboard focus right on the "See more" button or you might have to use F6 until focus is in the pane. Press spacebar on the "See more" button. There will be three page tabs in the resulting dialog box. Go to the Size page. You can tab across to confirm absolute height and width. The aspect ratio will likely be locked and be relative to the original picture size. As you tab you should find a rotation box and it is likely on zero degrees. There are also two boxes for adjusting height and width, which will only work if you uncheck the aspect ratio checkbox. If you do uncheck that checkbox and adjust height and width percentages then JAWS will speak the new dimensions in the document when you use CTRL with shift and O to select the picture. I hope this is what you are wanting. Take care.

The other way is indeed through the photos app. I do not know if this is also metadata or whether the app performs some kind of analysis on the picture to determine dimensions. You want the "file information" button. Because the photos app is a modern app, the JAWS cursor will not work, I think.

Hello Vince, To work with the speech settings you first go into the OpenBook Settings menu by using Alt key with G. Arrow down to speech settings and press enter key. This is a multi-tab dialog but speech settings tab should be the tab in focus. Otherwise, press CTRL with tab until the speech tab is selected. Tab to the Synthesizer combo box and use up and down arrow keys to make the choice you want. Eloquence is one of the choices you should find. Use shift-tab and find the checkbox for applying the change to all voices if that is what you want. Otherwise, the Voice Selection voice dictates whether the change is for the reading voice, menu voice. Etc. Tab to the Voice Name box and make your choice. Use the apply button and then the OK button. Use Alt with G again and enter key on the Save the Settings menu item. If you want the change to be the default just leave Default as the name, otherwise type in a new name for the settings. Tab to the various checkboxes that determine which settings you want included. Use spacebar to uncheck or check settings you want included. Use the Save button. If you chose to overwrite the default you will be asked if you want to do so and you can answer accordingly. To retrieve a particular group of settings later go under the settings menu with Alt and G, arrow down to the settings to retrieve and press enter key. You can delete the settings group by going under the Settings menu and choosing the delete settings menu item. Select the settings name to delete and use the OK button. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Id a blank character
Hi Ann Marie, A nonbreaking space is used to keep text together. When used between two words instead of a regular space the two words can be forced to be at the beginning or end of the same line. Nonbreaking spaces can also be used to produce different alignment of text on the same line. The code you would enter on the number pad while holding down Alt key is 0160. You can enter a nonbreaking space by holding down CTRL with shift keys and pressing spacebar. The nonbreaking spaces should not be removed when replacing paragraph marks with tabs. You don't want to replace nonbreaking spaces with tabs because when converting to a table using tabs as column dividers you will end up with unwanted columns and text that is meant to be together in the same column being separated into different columns. I went to the web site you sent me and I think I found a way to get the information pasted with vertical bars dividing the columns. When pasted in Word I think the text can then be converted into a table and the vertical bars used as column dividers or they can be changed to tabs that can be used as column dividers. The site is quite difficult to navigate and copying information isn't really a straightforward process. Perhaps you can send the link to this list and see if someone else can offer a way to handle it. I will Email you privately as well but I won't be able to spend time on this until later tomorrow.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Check Mark in MS Word 2013
Hello Jerry, The easiest method is probably typing in the Unicode number followed by Alt x. A checkmark symbol can be entered by typing 2713 and then using Alt with x before pressing spacebar. A heavy checkmark symbol can be entered by typing in 2714 followed immediately by Alt x. There isn't a hotkey in Word for this symbol but it is in the symbols dialog box using the Arial MS Unicode font and dingbats in the subset. You need to use the JAWS cursor in that dialog box but if you find the checkmark you can click it and then add a shortcut key if you want. AutoCorrect could also be used and set up so that the symbol would be entered when you type something like CHKMRK. However, if you know the Unicode value of a symbol you can type it and then use Alt x to insert that symbol into a document. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS
Hello Vicki, In addition to the many suggestions you received, I thought I would mention that when using Word you can use a combination of Word keystrokes to produce several accented characters. Further down in this message is a table of some of them. In Word, you can use AutoCorrect to always use the accent you want. Go into Word options. In the category list arrow down to the Proofing category. Tab to the AutoCorrect button and use spacebar. In the Replace edit combo box type the spelling without the accent. Tab to the With edit box and type the word with the accented characters. Use the OK button until back in the document. For example, You could use Therese in the Replace box and then use the accent on the first E when typing in the With box. If the first E is an E grave you would type it by using CTRL with the tilde key followed immediately by the E. To produce Press à, è, ì, ò, ù À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù Ctrl+` (grave accent), the letter á, é, í, ó, ú, ý Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý Ctrl+' (apostrophe), the letter â, ê, î, ô, û Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û Ctrl+Shift+^ (caret), the letter ã, ñ, õ Ã, Ñ, Õ Ctrl+Shift+~ (tilde), the letter Ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ Ctrl+Shift+: (colon), the letter å, Å Ctrl+Shift+@, a or A æ, Æ Ctrl+Shift+&, a or A œ Ctrl+Shift+&, o or O ç, Ç Ctrl+, (comma), c or C ð, Ð Ctrl+' (apostrophe), d or D ð, Ð Ctrl+' (apostrophe), d or D ø, Ø Ctrl+/, o or O ¿ Alt+Ctrl+Shift+? ¡ Alt+Ctrl+Shift+! ß Ctrl+Shift+&, s Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Templates in Excel 13
Hello Jerry, If you have kept the default location for templates in Excel you should get to them using the steps I sent. The Alt+F followed by N should put focus on the New tab. If you keep using the tab key and if you hear "Blank Workbook" you can use down arrow key to go into a list of templates. When you tab to some of the links you can use down arrow key and other categories give you the list when you press enter. Another method from within Excel is to browse to the templates using the Open dialog box. Use CTRL+O to launch the Open dialog box. Tab one time to the Files of type. It should be set on "All files", "All Excel files" or "Templates. If one of those isn't set in the Files of Type then use up or down arrow and press enter on one of those choices. Go to the address bar using Alt with D. Type the following or if you copied it then paste it on the address bar right after moving to the address bar: %AppData%\Microsoft\templates Press enter key after typing in the address. Tab about four times to the list of files and you should find your Excel, Word and other templates saved to the default location. Another method: Press your Windows key and either type in the following or if you copy it then paste it into the search box: %AppData%\Microsoft\templates Press enter key and you should find a list of templates in the default location. This folder includes templates for Word, Excel and other Microsoft products in your Office suite. Of course, if you have the backstage view appear when you start Excel then you can pick blank worksheet or another template saved in the default location and start a new file based on the template you choose. I hope one of these methods work for you. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Copying Excel text into MS Word
Hello Jerry, There are a couple ways to do this. One way will paste all the text and use tabs for the column dividers. However, any formatting such as bold text and font size will be lost. Also if you have text that wrapped in cells that text might wrap to the beginning of lines in Word, which could mess up what you intended. To do the first method just select and copy the text in Excel. Open Word and either use CTRL+Alt+V to bring up the paste special box and choose unformatted text or you can use the application key and in the paste options choose Keep Text Only. This method uses tabs as the column dividers. To keep the formatting for the pasted text you can use the Convert to Text feature. After copying the text just paste it in Word and a table is created. Move the cursor into the table so that the contextual tabs for working with tables are added to the right end of the ribbon. Choose the layout tab. Go to the data group of the layout tab and choose Convert to Text. (After you move to the Layout tab use the tab key to move to the lower part of the ribbon. In Word 2013 use CTRL with right arrow 6 times to get to the Data group). When you use the Convert to Text button in the Data group you get a dialog box. If you don't want to use tabs or paragraph marks as dividers then in the group of radio buttons choose Other. In the editing area where you designate what to use just put a space. When you use the OK button there will no longer be a table and the text will maintain the formatting attributes that it had in Excel. Again though, cells with wrapped lines of text might wrap to the left margin in Word. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] an unknown error occur
Hello Holger, I have heard that using Shift with delete sometimes works when using just the delete key or when the delete menu item doesn't work. You might want to give that a try.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a PDF document
Hello Greg, You might want to check preferences by using CTRL K. Pick the Reading category from the list of categories. When you tab a few times you will find "page VS document" and make sure it is set to "Read entire document." You might also go under the accessibility category of options and make sure "enable assistive technology support" is checked. If you make changes in the preferences you should probably close the program and open it again. Take care.

To the extent I understand anything about PDF files, they need to be properly tagged.

I go directly to the amount due by searching for the $ dollar sign. If I want to read the transactions, I search for a portion of a date. For example, if the statement has a closing date in mid-September, I'll search for the two characters 9/ Since the most recent, and therefore top, transaction probably occurred in September. Naturally if 9/ doesn't work, I substitute 8/. Note. To search in a PDF document, press JAWS key+control+f.

Re: [JAWS-Users] excel reading headers.
Hello again, I should have mentioned that if you want to hear row titles then you use RowTitle instead of ColumnTitle. If you want both row and column titles you would use Title instead of ColumnTitle or RowTitle. There should be no spaces in the name, the beginning of the range is preceded by one period and the end of the range is preceded by two periods.

Re: [JAWS-Users] excel reading headers.
Hello, JAWS has a method for naming columns and/or rows but using the Excel Naming Manager is what is now recommended. Here are the steps: 1. You first need to move the keyboard focus to the row containing the column headers. Use CTRL with G to launch the Go To dialog box. Type in the cell address, for example A13 if the column titles are on row 13 and start with column A. Press enter key to move to that position in the worksheet. 2. Use CTRL+3. You can alternatively use Alt+M followed by the letter "N." If using a mouse click on the Formula tab on the top part of the ribbon and then click on "Name Manager." 3. Click on the New button or press spacebar on the New button. If using the keyboard you might need to tab to the New button before pressing spacebar. 4. Type the following changing the cell addresses as required: ColumnTitle.a13..h13 There should be no spaces in what you type in this box. Capitalize the word column and the word title but do not leave spaces. The first period is for the beginning of the range of cells containing the column headings. The two periods together show the last cell in the range. If your column titles were on row 5 and went from column B to column F then you would type: ColumnTitle.b5..F5 5. Either click the OK button or use tab key until you find OK and press spacebar. 6. Either click the Close button or tab until you find the Close button and press spacebar. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Word 2010, sort and JAWS
Hello Adrian, I don't remember if Word 10 has the option to select all text with similar formatting but if so there is another approach you can take. This is assuming (which I know shouldn't be done) that the section headings have a different formatting applied than other text in the document. In Word 2013 here is what I would do: Select one of the section heading's text. Use the selection button located under the home tab and at the right end of the lower part of the ribbon. In the submenu choose "text with similar formatting (no data)." Use the hotkey to change all selected text to a particular heading such as CTRL with Alt 1, CTRL with Alt and 2, etc. If Word 10 has the selection button and the section headings are formatted differently than other text in the document then this is likely the quickest way to apply the style you want to the original section headings. You could then sort by the applied Word headings to hopefully get the result you want. Take care.

Creating a heading looks almost too easy. Keeping in mind your point that for my dictionary-like organization to work, I should use only one heading level, I'm going with the obvious, control-alt-number row 1. I thought I'd need to select existing lines of text, but it seems I just have to position the cursor at the beginning of the line (or anywhere on the line?) for it to take effect. I could also initiate a heading by typing that key combo and proceeding with the heading text, but most are already in place. It will be a fair amount of clerical work, but now I can see my way forward. One thought. each of my would-be headings is preceded by a double return. Can you think of a search and replace operation that might accomplish what I want? Presumably, it would consist of ^6^6 in both fields, with an additional character in the replace field.

Re: [JAWS-Users] difficulty in working with footnotes in word 2007
Hello Takis, I am using Word 2013 so the following information might be slightly different for 2007. In Word 2013 pressing Alt S followed by F inserts the footnote reference number in the document and places focus in the footnote pane where you can type the footnote text. It is an alternative to using Alt+CTRL+F. Using Alt S followed by H cycles between the footnote and the footnote number for that footnote in the body of the document. These keystrokes are for choices for the reference tab of the ribbon so if they are different in Word 2007 you might be able to find out what they are by navigating the lower part of the ribbon for items relevant to the reference tab. Shift with function key 5 doesn't work for me for going between the last four edited areas in a document when moving between the footnote pane and main document. You can try using that keystroke to see if it works for you when the footnote pane is involved. Take care.

Using Windows 10 creator, Jaws 18, Word 2007 and an Active Braille display. In the past I was able to create a footnote by using contrl-alt-f. The note would appear and I could type my text viewing it. When I was done, by arroing once to the right, I was able to go back to my document, see the note's number and continue typing my document. When reading notes, I always used to hit a cursor routing button just above the number, and a sort of preview would and still appears, which permitted me to read most of the notes, but if these were too long, I could use alt-v, f and land on that note which I could read in its entirety. By toggling the same command, I was back on my reading document. This is no longer feasible. I have jaws set to read the entire note, which it does orally, but I really want to follow it in Braille, since these include a lot of bibliographical data in various languages, (I have installed six vocaliser voices), and Mr. jaws does not always get the language right. I mentioned this problem of mine to another list I participate, and a fellow member sent a reply, which unfortunately, did not work, and which I will paste at the end of this message. Now, I must say that when I type alt-contrl-f to get to a footnote, jaws is crushing which means I can only type blindly, as no Braille appears either, and I have to restore it with the known shortcut alt-f-j. It lands on jaws menus and by escape I am back on desktop and I need to alt-tab to get to the note. At that time I can see the note's text with highlighting, but arrowing to the right will not automatically do something, unless I do a contr-home for the beginning of document, and a contrl-end to get back to where I was, in which case it may eventually work. I am pasting the kind reply I got which proved vain, so, if anyone has had a similar problem or knows for a better solution, I would be most grateful to hear from you. K indest Regards, Takis Hi Takis, I've got Word 2016 and Windows 7 so I don't know if the following will help at all, but it gives you some things you can try! The way footnotes appear depend on which view I use. In Print view I can press Alt + Ctrl + F to start a footnote. From within the footnote, I can press the applications key or Shift + F10 and choose Go To Footnote to return to the document text. The footnote pane appears at the bottom of each page, and JAWS indicates this when I read with DownArrow or Say All, although in neither case does it actually read the footnotes unless I navigate by word while focus is in the footnote pane. In Draft view I press Alt + Ctrl + F to start a footnote, as before, but then I use F6 to return to the document text. Once there is at least one footnote, I can press Shift + F6 to move to the footnote pane at any time, and F6 to return to the document. JAWS should announce which view is in effect. I can press Alt + Ctrl + P to force print view, and Alt + Ctrl + N to force Draft view, which used to be called Normal view. Does that get you any further?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Find & Find/Replace Have Changed in Word2010
Hello Norma, It sounds like you are still getting the navigation pane search feature when you use the CTRL+F command. If you have some sight and can see the list of results using this pane then you might prefer it. Otherwise, you might want to get CTRL+F to bring up the Find and Replace dialog like it did in earlier versions of Word. If that is the case then here is another suggestion. In addition to having CTRL+F for EditFind and CTRL+H for EditReplace you might want to make sure that the keystroke is removed from the NavPaneSearch item. After using Alt+F followed by Alt+T, pressing C for "Customize ribbon", and launching the "Customize keyboard" dialog box by using the Customize button, just arrow down to the Home tab. Use the tab key to move to the list of commands for the Home tab. Press the letter "N" and then use down arrow to find the "NAVPaneSearch" item and check to see if the CTRL+F is still being used by that command. If so you can remove it or replace it with another keystroke to launch the navigation pane search. You can then go into the EditFind item in the same list of commands for the Home tab and make sure CTRL+F is applied to that item. I thought I would mention this because I wasn't sure if you want CTRL+F to launch the navigation pane or the Find and Replace dialog box. Take care.

When you go into options find the mail category and make sure that HTML is chosen for "Compose messages in this format." Make sure when you are composing a message that under the Format Text tab HTML is chosen for the format.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Word 2010 default line spaving to single
Hello Mr. Ed, Here are a few things you can try. If these don't work then deleting the Normal.DOTM and restarting your system or doing a repair on Word might be necessary. Method 3 modifies the line spacing for your normal style. Method 1 Using Single Spacing: Use the application key and choose Paragraph from the menu. In the indents and spacing page tab of the Paragraph dialog box make sure the two spin boxes for Before and After are set to 0. Set line spacing to Single. For the "At" edit spin box press backspace until nothing is in the box. The "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" checkbox should be checked. At this point use OK and check it out in your document. Go back into the Paragraph dialog box and make sure options are still as you set them. Tab to the Set as Default button and use spacebar. You will get a dialog box in which you can tab to a group of radio buttons. "This document only" will likely be checked so arrow down to "All documents based on the normal.DOTM template. Tab to OK button and press spacebar. Method 2, Set line spacing to "Exactly." In the same control where you choose single or double spacing choose the option for Exactly. In the Before and After controls use 0 points. In the "At" edit spin box 12 points is about right. This is needed for leading. No matter what you set for spacing a certain amount of leading is necessary for the various types of fonts used and the heights necessary for characters of the various types of fonts. Check the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" box. Use the button for saving changes as default. Pick the radio button for changes to be for all templates based on the normal.DOTM template. Use OK as necessary. (This will result in similar line spacing to that used in older versions of Word). Method 3, Modify Style: Use Alt CTRL Shift and S to launch the Styles pane. Use F6 until in the styles pane. Use the Manage Styles button. You will likely find it faster by using Shift tab until you find it rather than tabbing. In the resulting window find the Modify button and use it. In the resulting window use shift tab from the OK button to the Format button and press enter key. Arrow down to Paragraph and press enter key. Change the After control to 0 by using down arrow key. Change line spacing to Single. Make sure nothing is in the "At" control. With focus in the "At" control use backspace to remove any value. Use spacebar to check the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style." Use the OK button. Use shift tab to the radio buttons that determine if the change is just for the existing document or all documents. "New documents based on this template" should be selected. Use the OK button. Use shift tab and you will find the same radio buttons so arrow down to "New documents based on this template." Use the OK button. After making any of the above changes it is a good idea to restart Word and maybe even your system. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another Formatting Inquiry
Hello Jerry, The quickest way to adjust whether or not indentation is indicated is to use the quick settings. Use JAWS key V. Type in the word "indent" (without quotes) and use down arrow key to the result. Use spacebar to toggle between ignored and indicated. Tab to OK an use spacebar. If you prefer you can also use the classic scheme. Hold down JAWS key with Alt key and press S. Press C until you find the Classic scheme. There are five classic schemes and the last one listed should work for you unless you want to hear other information as well such as font information, attributes, and/or colors. Press enter key on Classic. I think that using one of the two methods shown above will work fine for you. You can make some adjustments to the way indentation is indicated in the Settings Center if you want but you might not find this necessary. To do this: Use JAWS key 6 to go into the settings center. If you want the changes to only apply to Word then the Word settings are already displayed. To set default so that changes are used in other programs unless specified differently use CTRL+Shift+D. Tab to the list of settings, which JAWS identifies as "Tree view." Press "S" until you find the Speech and Sound schemes and open the level by using right arrow key if necessary. Arrow down to "Modify schemes" and use spacebar. Focus should be in a combo box with the scheme you are modifying selected. Tab to the "edit selected scheme" button and use spacebar. Press CTRL with tab until you get to the indentation page tab of this dialog box. You can choose a justification from the list that appears or leave default. The dialog box has radio buttons so you can choose between JAWS speaking the information or playing a sound. You can also pick a voice alias, type in other text. Use OK when done with any changes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Print view in MS word
Hello Adrian, Yes, you are quite right! I didn't realize that when in the navigation pane pressing spacebar still goes result to result and JAWS speaks the found result. It seems to me that at one time using the navigation pane to find text didn't work very well and most people were making the change I mentioned. Also, I think at that time a person did have to use F6 and shift with f6 but not now. The escape key also now takes focus back into the document pane. Also, the JAWS find is a great alternative. For some reason, I thought it was limited to only search what is shown on the screen at a given time. This isn't the case either. Changing the CTRL F to apply to the EditFind command isn't really necessary any more. Thanks for pointing these things out. Take care.

When I do a control-f search, JAWS reads the current line as soon as the result is found. It's critical not to press any key until JAWS has verbalized that line, or else JAWS gives only the option to search for the next result, with an indication of the total number of results for that search in the document. Having heard the line of text, I have two options. Either I press the spacebar to move to the next result or press escape to go to re-read and possibly edit the text. As you explain, the control-f search doesn't land you directly in the text field. If I elected to stop the search to check that text but then decide to continue searching for that same item, I press control-f again. The same search term is still there, so I just press enter. I'm taken to the next instance of that search term. Once again, the current line of text is verbalized, and I have the same two choices: press escape to go into the text or press spacebar to resume searching. The alternative, of course, is a JAWS find, adding the JAWS key to control-f. In this case, JAWS stays in the text when it finds a result, so you can edit right away. To resume searching for the same term, press JAWS key-F3. Each type of search, Microsoft's and JAWS's, has advantages. I'm afraid this doesn't address John's concern that the escape key no longer cancels his search operations. I don't have an answer for that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple Addresses on A Label
Hello Jerry, It is quite difficult to give step-by-step instructions as there are so many variables. Considerations include the type of source file being used, whether or not you are going to type in the information directly on the label, etc. Below my signature block in this message are steps I put together for a client a couple years ago. The source file is an Excel worksheet we used with the following column titles: Title, Last Name, First name, Address, City, State, Zip. Let me know if you want me to send you this example Excel source file for practice. Take care. Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net Mail Merge for Labels in Word 2013 1. Start with a blank document. 2. Go under Mailings tab using Alt with M. 3. Tab to the start mail merge submenu and use spacebar. You can also just click on that choice with the mouse. 4. Arrow down to labels and press spacebar or click on the labels menu item. 5. Pick the label vendor such as "Avery US letter" and pick the number of the label to be used. 6. For example, if you pick Avery US letter and then tab to the list of numbers you can scroll up or down the list of numbers using the mouse or by using up arrow, down arrow, page up or page down keys until focus is on the number to be used. I am choosing Avery US letter with 5160 as the number. This is an easy peel label. If I tab to the Details button and press spacebar I can find the label size, number of columns across the sheet and number of rows down the sheet. Label height and width and other details are also shown. 7. After checking details use OK button. 8. If you didn't use the Details dialog then tab to the OK button and use spacebar. Do the same if you have already used the OK button in the Details dialog. 9. Agree to let Word remove existing information from document by using OK. 10. Go back under mailings tab. 11. Click on the "select recipients" submenu. 12. Choose "use an existing list" 13. In the "select data source" dialog browse to the source file that contains the records to be merged to labels. In our practice it is "Test for Mail Merge from Excel." You need to browse to the folder that contains this file and then click on the file name to open it. 14. A list of tables and worksheets in the workbook appears. In our case we want to select sheet 1. Use down arrow key to make the choice. 15. Make sure in this dialog box that "First row of data contains column headers" is checked. 16. After selecting sheet1 and making sure that check box is checked (because our first row does contain column headers), use the OK button. 17. If you want to edit the recipients list then choose that button under the mailings tab. This will let you sort, filter, find duplicates, etc. For example, in the sort dialog you can choose which field to sort by first and what a secondary field will be for sorting. You can also choose whether records are sorted in ascending or descending order for first or secondary sorting. 18. If you use this dialog then when done making choices use the OK button. 19. Use OK again if necessary. 20. You can now insert your fields the way you want them. The fields only need to be set up in the first label and Word will fill the other labels in according to the way you have the fields in this first label. You insert a field at a time by going under the mailing tab and using the “insert merge field” button. Remember to format the label exactly as you want all labels to appear. If you insert a merge field for title, then after inserting the field you will want to use a space before inserting the first name or last name field. Before inserting the address field you will want to use the enter key to start a new line. After the address field is inserted use enter key to move to a new line.

Re: [JAWS-Users] macros; Deleting extra blank lines in Word doc
Hello Adrian, Being that there is an Office button mentioned the instructions must be for Word 2007. I don't believe that the developer tab was on the Word 2007 ribbon by default. The instructions you are showing appear to be steps for putting the developer tab on the ribbon. I don't have Word 2007 so I am unsure of the layout and contents of the dialog box that comes up when the customize ribbon button in the customize ribbon tab of the Word options is used. Once the developer tab is added to the ribbon the macro-related tools are on the lower part of the ribbon. Going to the trust center is a step to be taken before the creation of the macro. The checking of the box I mentioned lets Word know that it should allow macros you create using the visual basic editor. At least, this is true for Word 2013. Alt with f8 has been a keystroke for a long time in Word that brings up a dialog box where a person can pick a macro from a list, start creating one, run one, etc. Once you add the developer tab to the ribbon through the options the Record macro button will likely be available but I don't have a copy of Word 2007 to confirm this. Take care.

Thank you for posting this method for replacing blank lines with a macro. However, your method involves Visual Basic. I'd like to use MS Word's built-in method for creating a macro. I rely for much of my Word education on CathyAnne Murtha's textbook, but her instructions at a critical point are vague, and I hope I can get clarification for one of her steps. In your instructions, you start by opening the Trust Center, but CathyAnne indicates that to use MS word's method, you need to go, instead, to "customize ribbon." I won't copy her entire macro instructions, but I'm going to copy this one part and place double asterisks against the step that needs clarification. I can't figure out how to get to these checkboxes or even know that I've arrived there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In order to create a macro, you need access to the developer ribbon of Word. The developer ribbon is enabled through the Word Options dialog. * Open the Microsoft Office button (ALT-F) * Activate the Options button (T) * Navigate to "Customize Ribbon" on the right side of the display ** *Navigate to the second list of checkboxes * Locate the developer ribbon in this list of checkboxes ... -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Brian Lee Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 11:26 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Deleting extra blank lines in Word doc Hello Again, When I created my last message I switched from plain text format to HTML.

You could then do a Find and Replace for ^p (one only) in the Find What box and a space in the Replace with box to get wrapping correct. In order to use the macro you first have to do the following: 1. In Word press Alt F followed by Alt T. 2. Press the End key to move to the bottom category in the list, which should be the trust center settings. 3. Tab across to the settings button and press spacebar. 4. In the resulting list of categories use up or down arrow key to find Macros. 5. Tab and you should have the radio button for disabling all macros without notification selected. 6. Tab again to the Trust access to the VBA project object model and check it by using the spacebar if it is not checked already. 7. Use the Close and OK buttons until out of the dialogs and menus. Create a new macro and make it available in the normal template. Do this as follows: 1. Select and copy the code shown at the end of this message. Make sure all code is selected. One way to do this is to put a place marker at the very beginning of the code using Windows key with CTRL key and K. Navigate down to the very end of the code and press JAWS key with spacebar followed by M. Use CTRL C to copy it to the clipboard. 2. When in Word press Alt key with F8. 3. In the edit/combo box type the name for the macro. Capitalize all words in the name and use no spacing between words). You might call it something like RemoveAllBlankLines. 4. Tab across to the Macros In box and have it set on All Active Templates and Documents. 5. Tab to the Create button and depress it. 6. Use CTRL+V to paste the code. 7. Use CTRL+Home to go to the top of the window. The top line should be the name of the macro. The next line should be the first line of the macro, in this case Sub ReplacePara(). 8. After pasting you might find that this first line is repeated. In this case select the first occurrence of Sub RemovePara() and blank line after it if it exists and delete them. There should be just one occurrence of Sub RemovePara () and it should be at the very beginning of the macro after the macro name. 9. Go to the bottom of the document by using CTRL with the end key. There should be only one line at the bottom that says End Sub so if when you arrow up you find another occurrence of that line then select it and delete it. 10. Check your window against the code below to make sure it is exactly the same. 11. Press CTRL+S to compile the code. 12. Use Alt+F4 to close the visual basic editor. Here is the code to paste. After the code are steps for applying the macro to a hotkey.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Deleting extra blank lines in Word doc
acros and select the one you created. 6. Tab to the New Shortcut Key box and use something like Alt CTRL Shift B. 7. Tab to the list of templates and make sure Normal.DOTM is selected. 8. Tab to the Close button and press spacebar. 9. Tab to OK and use spacebar. Using the shortcut key will cause all blank lines to be removed from any text you paste from other sources when the blank lines are caused by paragraph marks. After running the macro if lines in places don't wrap correctly you can select text and use Find and Replace to replace a single ^p with a space. Another bothersome thing that happens when pasting text from sources like the web is that sometimes there are blank spaces at the beginning of lines. This can be fixed by selecting the text, centering it by using CTRL E and then immediately left aligning it using CTRL L. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] getting rid of paragraph marks in email
Thank you Adrian, I missed the point that Judy is using 2003. One thing I noticed about the new line and paragraph indication setting is that JAWS automatically changes the setting to indicate "when reading" when the word marks are showing. If at that point you change the JAWS indication to "off" the marks could still be showing but won't be indicated. However, you are quite right, in Word 2003 using CTRL with shift and 8 to turn of the marks should cause the marks not to be showing or indicated in the document. Take care.

Second, I take your point that the old and new methods for toggling on and off what amounts to the partial WordPerfect reveal codes affects the visual display, but it also has the effect of stopping JAWS from verbalizing paragraph marks. At any rate, that's my recollection. Although I am a daily Word 2010 user, I haven't needed to use any of these controls for a long time.

Hello, Here are a few ways to work with footnotes and endnotes in word: 1. How to see footnotes. In Word 2013 use alt followed by S followed by H. If you use quick NAV mode you use JAWS key Z to go into quick NAV mode and then use O. You can use Windows key with semicolon, choose footnotes from the list, and arrow down to find links to the footnotes and the footnote text is shown below each link. 2. How to listen footnote while jaws is focusing at footnote number in the body of main paragraph. There is a "On with text" quick setting for footnotes that is to announce footnotes as you navigate by line. I have not been able to get it to work. 3. How to Insert footnote. Use Alt CTRL F. 5. how to come back to body of main paragraph after finishing editing footnote. Use shift with F5. If after using the keystroke focus doesn't leave the footnote then try using it again. You might need to wait a bit of time in larger documents. Shift F5 pressed repeatedly cycles between the last four editing areas in the document. 6. how to see and read endnotes. Quick NAV key D after using JAWS key Z to turn on quick nav. Alt followed by S followed by H shows footnotes and endnotes. If you have both types of notes in the document a dialog box appears after using that keystroke with radio buttons for checking which type of note to view. You can use Windows key with semicolon, choose endnotes from the list, and arrow down to find links to the endnotes and the endnote text is shown below each link. If you are using the traditional Find dialog box in Word you can do a find for footnotes using ^f and for endnotes using ^e and then use CTRL with PGDN or PGUP to move to next or previous footnotes. (Alt Shift period and Alt shift comma are supposed to also work for moving to next and previous footnotes but those keystrokes don't seem to work on my system). Take care.

Hello Helga, When you move to the comment you can use the application key and you will find a menu item to edit the comment. When you press enter on the menu item you can move through the comment and change it. Press escape when done. Using CTRL with shift and apostrophe lists only the comments and pressing enter key on the one you want moves focus to it. At this point, use the application key and find the Edit Comment menu item. You can use Windows key with semi-colon but more than just comments are listed. If you use Windows key semicolon you still need to pick Comments from the list, follow the link for the one you want to work with and then use the edit comment item to make changes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] list view
Hello Patti, Actually, CTRL Shift 8 is for content view. The effect is vertically listing the folder's contents. In Windows 10 File Explorer using the list view does not list the items so that using up and down arrow keys moves focus to previous or next items. When you use the CTRL shift 8 command, the change is only made for the current folder. If you go to the view tab of the ribbon and get into the folder options and switch to the view tab you will find a button to apply the view of the current folder to all folders of the same type. If you use that button then in your documents folder's subfolders that contain documents should use the same view. The changes will be retained for your documents folder and subfolders. However, the change will not apply to folders containing different types of files such as in Music or Videos. You can make the change in those folders and use the Apply to all folders option in the folder options to cause the parent folder and all subfolders of that type to keep the change you make.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading comments in word using JAWS
Hello Helga, You can list all comments in a document by using CTRL with shift key and apostrophe. Use up and down arrow keys in the list and press enter on any one to which you want to move focus. If you move your cursor on to an individual comment without listing them you can use Alt with shift key and apostrophe to read it. "Show comments" needs to be checked in the review tab of the ribbon. In JAWS quick settings if you search for "comments" you will find one result. Use the spacebar to move between the ways JAWS will detect and speak comments to you. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 updates available
Hi Patti, I just recompiled my SkypeWatch script and JAWS is announcing when someone comes on line. Try the following to see if it works for you: When focus is in Skype use insert with 0 to open the Skype.JSS file. Go under the File menu and press enter key on the Open Shared Script menu item. Type SkypeWatch (one word) into the edit box and oppress enter key. This opens the SkypeWatch.JSS file. Press CTRL with S to recompile the script. You should then be able to use Alt F4 and hopefully things will work right. The default.JSS in the shared scripts might also need the line "Use SkypeWatch.jsb" But I checked the default.JSS file and the line is already included. This worked for me. If it doesn't work for you then hopefully someone else on the list can help. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] skype
Hello Mr. Ed, I loaded ZoomText with JAWS and the status information was still read correctly by JAWS. The ZoomText speech also read the information correctly. Even after unloading JAWS, ZoomText still read the information as expected and I had magnification up to about 8x for testing. I don't know your ZoomText configuration but if you are using default settings then this shouldn't be a problem. If you have ZoomText with speech have you tried turning off JAWS speech and using ZoomText speech to see what result you get? Another poster suggested that you check with the contact to make sure his contact information hasn't changed. My reason for some of my suggestions was that being you were hearing a message about a contact not being in your contacts and yet focus was on the contact's name, it sounded like two different areas of the screen were being read. This can happen if screen echo is set to All and not Highlighted for example.The message you are getting is the message I often get when I call someone but haven't added their contact info to contacts. This is why I thought that focus might not actually be in the contacts list. The Skype scripts are included in the JAWS 18 installation. Sometimes just compiling them will make things work right again. At this time, I am not sure what else to suggest. Hopefully others might have suggestions to help you resolve this issue. Take care.

There are a few things you can check though. 1. First, are you sure focus is on the information for the contact in the contacts list? Use Alt with 1 to move focus into the list of contacts. This should ensure focus is moved to the list and the favorites should be at the top of the list so you can up arrow to the contact's name. Yes, the focus is on the person's name in the favorites list. Just for your information I use Zoomtext as I have some vision. I also use Jaws 18 latest version. 2. Be sure the window is maximized by using CTRL with spacebar followed by X. Window is maximized. 3. Make sure screen echo is set to highlighted and not to All. Use JAWS key with S until "highlighted" is announced. Yes, it was set to echo. 4. Make sure the PC cursor is the active cursor by pressing the plus key on the number pad if using a desktop or caps lock with semicolon if using a laptop configuration. Pc cursor is on. 5. Use Alt with V to bring up the view menu. Arrow down to the "compact sidebar" menu item and if it is not checked then press enter key. If it is checked just press Alt key to leave the menu. I check this and it was not check but checked it and it did not make any different except it change the view on the side and made it narrower. 6. Accessibility mode should be turned on in options. Use Alt with T and then up arrow key to find the Options menu item. Press enter key. Move to the last category in the list by pressing the end key. Tab to the checkbox for using accessibility mode and make sure it is checked. If it is not checked use spacebar to check the box. If you make changes to the options then be sure to tab to the save button and use spacebar before exiting options. Accessibility mode was checked. 7. You can compile the JAWS scripts being used by pressing JAWS key with 0, and when the script manager opens use CTRL with S. Exit the script manager by using Alt with function key 4. Not using any Jaws scrips. The announcing of whether the person is online worked fine without Jaws scrips before. 8. It is probably best that you have the latest version of Skype installed with JAWS 18. I have the latest version of Skype and Jaws 18.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17, Word 2016 and footers
Hello again Jean, Another thought is that if some of the styles are messed up, they are based on the normal template. You could rename the normal.dotm file and restart Word. The normal.dotm template should be created by Word and this might cause the styles to work correctly. However, you have Office 365 and I am not sure if you have the ability to work with those files in that version of Word or not but you probably know whether or not you do. In Word 2013 you go under the user folder, open App Data, open Roaming, open Microsoft, and open templates to find the normal.dotm file.This would at least let you know if the problem was with the styles. Again, though, I don't know if this should be done in an Office 365 installation. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17, Word 2016 and footers
Hi Jean, JAWS should be letting you know that the colors are black on white and not black on black for the footer style. At least with my installation of word the footer style is pretty much the same as the normal style. Being that this has happened when you use JAWS 17 and JAWS 18, it would appear that something might be corrupt with the Word installation. What you might try for a workaround is to select the footer area and apply the normal style by using CTRL+Shift+N. See if you can read the text when the normal style is used in the footer. In either case, JAWS should be reporting the foreground and background colors as black on white when using JAWS key F or when using JAWS key 5. You might also create your own style and then when you move to the footer area and unlink the footer from the previous one, you can select from the beginning to the end of the line and apply your created style. The new style could be called something like "MyFooter." I think you said in another message that JAWS wouldn't read the text when using JAWS 17 and 18 and that you didn't merge any of the settings. Try refreshing the screen using JAWS key with escape key and maximizing the window before typing or reading the text. Sure hope you get it working! Take care.

I'm trying to test this with JAWS 18, Windows 10 and Word 2016.
I can edit a footer by typing Alt+N, O, E. Alternatively, I can work my way
through the Insert tab of the ribbon to find this command (Insert -> Footer ->
Edit Footer).
At this point (having invoked the above command), I'm in a footer field into
which I can type text or edit existing text. While editing the footer, there
are commands in the ribbon to insert the time and date, document information,
etc.
JAWS is reading everything as expected.
Are your steps different from mine? If not, this might have been fixed in JAWS
18 or in a Microsoft Word update. I'm running Word 2016 Pro Plus as downloaded
from Office365, so it's always kept up to date.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2010 And Auto text
Hello Steven, I am using Word 2013 but if I remember correctly working with auto text in Word 2010 is the same or at least very similar. To create an auto text you first select the text you want to be included. After selecting the text use Alt with F3 and a dialog box appears. In the name field of the dialog box type whatever text you want for a name but remember that this is the text you will use when inserting your auto text. In other words, if you type the first four letters of the name into a document and then press enter key everything you selected will be inserted into the document. For example, if I select my entire home address, phone number and Email address, I might name it MyHomeAddress. In that example if I type Myho and press enter key my entire home address will be inserted into the document. After the name field are some other controls but you usually don't need to change these unless you are saving to a different template than the normal template, saving to a different gallery than auto text, creating a different category than General, etc. There is a combo box in this dialog box that lets you choose to insert content only, insert content in its own paragraph or insert content on its own page. Once the auto text is created you can insert it by typing the first four letters of the auto text name and pressing enter key. Auto text is a gallery in quick parts. Press Alt followed by N followed by Q to go into quick parts. If you use up arrow key a few times you will find the building blocks organizer that you can open and use to insert or delete entries.

If you want to write something that lines up with the text above but doesn't add a number in the list use Shift key with enter at the end of the numbered line. However, this keeps you in the same style so when you press enter again the numbering and indentation continues.

How exactly does one stop auto-numbering when composing e-mails with Outlook 2016? I used to be able to stop this feature in Outlook 2010 by simply hitting "enter" several times between list items, but this doesn't seem to work in Outlook 2016. It is very anoying, especially when auto-numbering is not desired!

Re: [JAWS-Users] signing out of thunderbird
Hello Tom, You can use the OR operator. For example: From:Brian OR From:john The word 'OR" needs to be in upper case letters. There needs to be a space before and after the search operator. After the From and the colon there should be no space. If you wanted to specify from Brian Lee then you use a space between Brian and Lee but nowhere else unless there is more criteria to the search. For example, if you want to find a message from Brian that has an attachment you would also space after the word Brian. From:brian Hasattachment:yes Notice that the Has attachment colon yes criterion has no spacing in it. Take care.

Shift tab to the tree view (I employ the JAWS ribbon option) through mailboxes to find your current email address. JAWS will say your email address and announce open. Arrow to the left, JAWS announcing email A closed. Arrow down and you should find your second email address...assuming you've enabled it on Thunderbird. Now reverse the process. Open your second email by arrowing to the right and then arrowing down through the tree view. I find the method I described faster than the easier way - (here it is) >From your email A in box press shift tab to the tree view. Arrow down through your current email's boxes to your second email..then keep arrowing down until you find the box you want and tab to it. ?Seems bit tricky but if you do it enough you'll get proficient. Warning. If you tab a bit too far you might get something like Welcome To Thunderbird. In that case just keep tabbing until you hear your inbox and navigate from there.10/11/2016 10:23 AM, Tom wrote: > how do I do this jim? > > -Original Message- From: Jim Pursley > Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2016 8:03 AM > To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] signing out of thunderbird > > You need not sign out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question About Outlook 2016 E-mail Search Function
Hello Tom, If you hold down the CTRL key and press tab key twice focus will move to the list of results. This is the case with Outlook 2013 but I think should still apply to outlook 2016. You can move to the search box using CTRL with E. The list of results filter as you type. you don't need to press enter key. Take care.

I am trying to search for a particular e-mail in Outlook 2016, and can't get Jaws to read the screen display to show me what has been found. Here's what I do: When in Outlook, I tab over to "search quiry", and type in what I am looking for. I then hit enter. My sighted wife says that the contents of the new screen displaying the search results is visible, but Jaws will not read it. Am I missing a step for performing e-mail searches here? This used to work very nicely. Is there something else I should be doing? I'm using Windows 7, and Jaws 17 here.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another Observation About System Restore
Hello Tom, You can try using the Reset View option but bear in mind that other things might be affected such as the use of grouping. I have Outlook 2013 and if I tab three times from the View tab on the top part of the ribbon I find the reset view option. You might want to try the reset of the navigation pane first. I should also mention that if you try CTRL with 6 again and it works that folders such as the calendar and contacts folders will show in the list of folders. However, if you have favorite folders being used they are not available in this view. This means that if you have for example the Unread mail folder near the top of the folder list under favorites then it won't be there after using CTRL with 6. You can get them back by using CTRL with 1. You might want to try restarting your system before trying these other things. I suggest you go back under the folder pane button and make sure it is set to normal and didn't somehow get changed. If it is still set to normal try CTRL 6 again followed by CTRL 1. Here is how to reset the navigation pane: 1. Press Windows key R. 2. Type in or copy and paste the following: outlook.exe /resetnavpane 3. Press enter key. 4. Wait for Outlook to open and see if the folders are restored. If you are using a PST file then ScanPST is an Outlook repair tool you can use. I would try the other things mentioned above first. The location of the ScanPST file depends on the version of Outlook being used and whether the system is a 64-bit or 32-bit. Sure hope you get this resolved. Take care.
