Re: [JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder
Hello, I unsubscribed yesterday, received a confirmation letter, but am still receiving letters. Please affect my removal from the list, thank you. Cheers Kevin. -Original Message- From: Moderator Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2015 4:59 AM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader Program. So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently. Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is perfectly fine. The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take it up with Freedom Scientific directly. Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval. Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done for your protection. The message list might state that there is an attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them. When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here. Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not receive an answer for a number of reasons. Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a number of such messages then the server will remove your email address automatically. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the to: field often times such rules get fouled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. Please do not reply to a posted question simply to say you don't know the answer. All that does is create more traffic on an already very busy list for no reason at all. Lastly please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help dying kids, should ever be forwarded to the list. Forwarded

When you reach the documents folder, and it says closed, do not press the right arrow key to open it, simply press the tab key. This will also open the folder and will reveal all of the files and folders within it, not just a select few. I could not really tell, but I hope this ansers the question that you are asking.

I am not sure which version of Windows you have, but in Windows 7, from the Attach File window, you are first left in the file name field. Hitting Shift tab twice puts you into the list of files in your last used directory. I believe this is your Pictures folder. Hitting Shift tab twice more should have you hearing Tree. From the Tree view you can up or down arrow, or use the first letter of the desired foler. JAWS should also announce the level of the folder. The default folder name is typically documents when you are saving from most programs, but could easily have been modified along the way. Hope this helps. I have never used Windows 8 so am not sure if the tab structure is different in that version.

The Page Setup multi page dialog box opens. •Press CTRL+TAB until you move to the Layout tab of the dialog box. •Press ALT+V to move to the Vertical Alignment combo box, and then choose Vertical in the list. •Finally, press ENTER twice to close combo box and the dialog box.

I don't remember doing anything on the laptop before shutting it down last time that would have caused this to happen, but wonder if anyone can suggest some things for me to try. I can't remember how many times I have to tab, for example, to get to # start-up options or whether I have to up- or down arrow to get to the right one. Thanks.
