Re: [JAWS-Users] How to get Jaws to announce the name of the column I am in.
Hi Brian; I know what you posted is from a training module. The problem is that does not work for many excel 2010 users. What I posted is from a post on this list regarding an excel check book spreadsheet that Eric replied to in March 2014. It is the only way I have been able to get the result I want. As I said in my first post, if any of the other ways work, God bless you and delete my post. Best regards, Dave David Maynard Franklin NC dmaynar...@morrisbb.net -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Brian Lee Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 4:47 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to get Jaws to announce the name of the column I am in. Ed asked specifically for column headers to be announced in Excel 2010. There are additional directions for creating row header reading or column and row header reading but the answer I wrote for column header reading is in keeping with the latest preference from Erick. The newest copy of Excel column and row headers presented by Erick does not suggest using the JAWS method any more. Here is what he says at the beginning of ExcelColumn and Row Headers: Titles created using the Define Name feature of Excel - These titles are part of the Excel file itself. This is the newest method of creating headers for column and row titles. They are created by the author or user of the workbook so that any subsequent use of the workbook does not require that you or anyone else need to define them. This uses a built-in feature in Excel and does not even require having JAWS or MAGic on the computer to create headers that automatically work for JAWS and MAGic users. The name is stored within the Excel workbook itself and is therefore independent of different versions of JAWS and MAGic. In addition, the workbook can be shared easily among different users without having to re-create the headers or transfer an ancillary JSI (JAWS Script Initialization) file along with the workbook. Titles created using JAWS Quick Settings dialog box - These titles are saved in a workbook-specific JSI file located in your personal settings folder, a separate file that is created and has to accompany the workbook everywhere it goes. If that JSI file is not present, for example when a new version of JAWS or MAGic is installed, then JAWS or MAGic will not automatically recognize any column and row headers as titles. Also, if you fail to put the JSI file in the correct folder on the computer hard drive where JAWS or MAGic can find it, headers will not read automatically. As you can imagine, the preferred method of creating titles that read automatically for all JAWS and MAGic users without having to worry about transferring a JSI file to the proper location on the computer for each workbook or for each version of JAWS and MAGic, is to use the Define Name feature of Excel. In this DAISY book we will use this newer method. Ed, try to follow the steps for having column headers read that I sent you. If you have any problem with doing it feel free to contact me. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] silencing the talking heads
Hi; I am using IE 11 and Jaws 15 on a w7 computer. When I go to a news item on many sites I have to listen to some talking head interviewing someone before I can read the text of the news item. Some of the times the interview has little or nothing to do with the subject of the article. Is there some way to stop this annoyance?? All help appreciated.

If you have trouble, I'm sure someone on this list would be happy to Tandem to your computer and help you set it up so you can try it out. Here you go: Get the file from: http://www.jaws-users.com/text/Office/Sample-checkbook-register.h tml 1. Save the file and give it a name you wish to use. 2. Now open the newly named file in Excel and move to Column A, Row 4, (this is the intersection of the row and column headings and the next step is to inform JAWS of that). 3. Press Insert + V to get into Quick Settings of JAWS for Excel. 4. Press the letter T, and then down arrow to the item that says Define Name Column and Row Titles Override Off. 5. Press Space Bar a couple of times so the item above is set to On for the Current File. 6. Now down arrow a few times to the item called: Column Titles to Row Range. Press Space and you should hear it reflect 4, since you were on row 4. 7. Now down arrow once to the item called: Row Titles to Column Range. Press Space and you should hear it reflect A, since you were in column A. 8. Tab 3 times now to the OK button and press enter to dismiss the Dialog and you are done. In the future, anytime you open a spread sheet with the name you gave this one, it will assume that Row 4 has the column headings and Column A has the row headings. If you are moving around in the area below and to the right of that intersecting point, it should read the headings as you navigate to make it easier to understand where you are.

Hi Roj,
To get JAWS to read column row titles, do the following.
1. Click on the cell that intersects the title row and column. In most cases
cell A1.
2. Right click and select Define Name
3. Type Title.. without the quotes in the name field. It is important to
type the 2 dots after Title. As the first dot defines the row and the second
dot defines the column used.
4. Tab until you hear OK and press Enter.
5. Save your worksheet by hitting Ctrl + S.
The procedure only works if you can edit and save the worksheet you are
reading.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Can't read Word docs in 2003
Ann, Flor elf Thanks to all of you the problem is solved. I am not sure exactly what fixed it, but I will explain what I did by making notes within your instructions. Your instructions will be followed by my comments starting ***DCM. Thanks to all. Dave Flor : Another thing you might put on the list is, that the Normal.dot (Word Template) file might have become corrupted. In that case, deleting the normal.dot file (with Microsoft Word closed) will fix it, as the next time you open word it will replace with a fresh normal.dot . ***DCM - I did that first. Elf: one thing I would do is go to the start menu shortcuts, hit the apps key on the application link, open the properties dialog, and in the box where it says run: combo box arrow down to maximized and try opening it and reading something this way. ***DCM This was the second thing I did. I then restarted the computer and opened a document. For the first time I was able to get to the menus with the PC cursor. I did Ann's checklist including switching from Print mode to normal. Ann: I'm guessing you have tried everything on the list, but just in case ... 1. Is the application maximized? ***DCM Yes 2. Is the document maximized? ***DCM Yes 3. Is the zoom set to 75% or thereabouts? ***DCM Yes 4. is the font a reasonable size? ***DCM Times New Roman 12 5. Is the font something JAWS can read easily? ***DCM Times New Roman 12 6. What does the status line say? ***DCM Didn't look, it was working. 7 If you select-all, copy, paste the document into either Wordpad, Notepad, or into Word, can you then read it? ***DCM Didn't have to, it was working.

[JAWS-Users] Can't read Word docs in 2003
Hello; Perhaps this has been discussed here before but I had nearly given up on Jaws 13 so wasn't following. I can not read a .doc from MSWord 2003 on a XP Pro machine. All I get from the pc cursor is silence unless I use the say line. The say line keystroke says blank even if the jaws cursor can read the line. Has anyone else had this behavior. This problem may be connected with my problem with reading the headers in my Outlook2003. I contacted FS support on the Outlook problem and received a ticket number. I gave them a number and a time when I would be at the machine. I received a message on voice mail when I was not at work. I Called the number I was given and a cell number but never received a return call. I'll say no more on FS support. If anyone has a fix or work-around for either of these problems I would surely appreciate it Going back to Jaws 12 again.

[JAWS-Users] Control+Alt+J
Hello; I have Jaws 10, Jaws 12, and now Jaws 13 on my XP computer. Jaws 12 is set as the default. I had Control+Alt+J set to launch Jaws 10. I went to the properties of the Jaws 13 desk top icon and assigned Control+Alt+ J as the launch hot key. I unloaded Jaws 12 and pressed Control+Alt+ J. Jaws 10 came up. The properties of the Jaws 13 icon still shows Control+Alt+J as the hot key In the past assigning a key stroke to a newer version would override the old setting.

I guess David chimes in when he's tired of reading about programming smile So, this will be my last reply - please continue this thread on the programming list. The C# compiler is located in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe for the 32-bit version and 64-bit C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe Csc.exe is a command line compiler, so you have to open a Windows console / command prompt to compile and read compiler warnings and errors etc. The above path is related to version 4 of the .NET framework. I recommend adding C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 to your path environment variable. Doing that will allow you to simply type csc.exe some_program.cs when you're ready to compile your program. If you don't add it to your path you'll need to type: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe some_program.cs every time you compile. A bit cumbersome to say the least. So, let's pretend that you've written the well known Hello, World! Program in C# and named the file containing the C# source code HelloWorld.cs. To compile the program type: Csc.exe HelloWorld.cs This will produce HelloWorld.exe. If your code contains errors the compiler will tell you on which line etc. Good luck! -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jorge Paez Sent: 22. mai 2011 02:52 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] programing environments and JFW12 for .net, how can I compile it once I write it?

For example, one has various games for the blind installed on their computer, yet Windows feels the need to place a games menu in the start menu. Naturally, I would like to place all of my games, blind and sighted alike, into the same menu to cut down on clutter. I can guarantee you you can't do this by copying and pasting, you literally have to drag and drop the icons into the menu, otherwise you're just twisting your thumbs in the air.

While reading a document I press that keystroke and I hear blank. The cursor has moved to the beginning of the next paragraph and stopped. In all prior versions this keystroke will move the cursor to the beginning of the next paragraph and continue reading. I have merged the 9.0 version settings so everything should work the same Is anyone else having this problem. If not where have I gone wrong?.

Re: [JAWS-Users] making alternative keystrokes in keyboard manager
Hi; Have you tried using a free program called KeyTweak (I believe)? It may help you. Dave Maynard dmaynar...@verizon.net -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kate Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 3:00 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] making alternative keystrokes in keyboard manager Hi, I had mentioned that I was using alternative keys on my keyboard to do the work I'm doing more efficiently. I recently got a microsoft natural urgonomic 4000 keyboard. It's one of the split keyboards. The issue I'm running into is that this keyboard doesn't have a right windows key. It only has the left windows key. On the right side it only has the alt, application, and control keys. For some of my newer keystrokes I was using the windows keys interchangeably. Now, I have had to change some things around again since I can't even use the application key as a valid part of a key combination in the JAWS keyboard manager. Because of this I have switched a few keystrokes around to accomodate the issues. There are two keystrokes however, that I need to occasionally access with one hand. The problem is that these two keystrokes employ the windows key, which is now a left handed key only and then a couple of the letter keys further off to the righthand side of the keyboard. My thought is to possibly make an alternative keystroke for these two commands, one of them being my current keystroke, and another keystroke which would employ the alt key instead of the windows key. Doing this would allow me to press the right alt key along with either letter to execute the tasks which were assigned to the two respective windows key combinations. I saw this concept used at least a couple times within the default keyboard manager itself by freedom scientific. For example, moving forward or back a word has two active, valid key commands. My newest key command is listed first, and then the command which uses insert left arrow or right arrow is listed right after. Does adding an active alternative keystroke like this for a particular command of my choosing take scripting know-how? If it does is there a specific learning tutorial I can use that is directly related to such a task as the one I've described above? Either that, or is there anyone on this list who might be confident enough to walk me through this process. I only have 2 keystrokes for which I'd like to make alternatives. Thanks for any help or suggestions you might have to offer. Kate _ It's the same HotmailR.
