Re: [JAWS-Users] ie 8
A friend of mine has Jaws 10 and IE8 and I was struggling to see how we could manage it for Jaws to read the results in Google, because she couldn't do any researching since Jaws wouldn't read the results page. I couldn't find the solution so I suggested her to go back to IE7. Did anybody have a simmilar problem with that?

[JAWS-Users] Power Point presentation?
Hello, people, my name is Mariela and I am from Argentina. In my job I've been asked to create a Power Point presentation from some Microsoft Word documents and inserting some image (.jpg) files, and I'd like to know the way how Jaws works with that. I know, of course, that Jaws wouldn't read images, and I have some help from a sighted person when I need it; what I want to know is basically what I can do with Jaws, how far I can get using Power Point with Jaws and which are the basic commands.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Power Point presentation?
Dear Brian, many thanks! I still have a doubt about something you've mentioned. You wrote: When including pictures you can add alt text to the pictures. In Word use your arrow key to move on to the picture. Make sure in verbosity that JAWS is set to speak picture information. What is the option in Jaws that sets the program to read picture information?

Hi Mariela, Some of what you want to know depends on the version of PowerPoint and JAWS that you are using. The main keys to use with JAWS in PowerPoint 2003 and PowerPoint 2007 are f6 to move pane to pane. The f6 key will move you from slide view to the slide thumbnail view, notes view, etc. You can use tab and shift+tab within one of those views to move between the controls within the view. You can use enter key to move from an object level to an editing level, and escape key to move back to the object level. You can use CTRL+pageUp or CTRL+PageDown keys to move slide to slide. You can use up or down arrow keys in the notes area if you press enter to move into the editing level. In PowerPoint 2007, the F6 key will also bring you into the ribbon area and the status bar. When including pictures you can add alt text to the pictures. In Word use your arrow key to move on to the picture. Make sure in verbosity that JAWS is set to speak picture information. When you move the cursor on to the picture then select the picture. Using shift+right arrow key will often do the selection. Use application key and find the format picture menu choice. Press enter key on the choice. Use CTRL+tab to move to the alt text page where you can add the alt text description.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Power Point presentation?
Thanks, Brian, I thought you meant that but I wasn't sure about the right option. Anyway, if it helps, I am using Jaws 10 and Power Point 2007. Thanks a lot, Mariela - Original Message - From: Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 12:28 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Power Point presentation? Hi Mariela, I was referring to the option in JAWS verbosity. If you use JAWS key with V to bring up the verbosity dialog, press the letter P until you hear picture and graphical object detection. If it is not turned on then use spacebar to turn on the detection function. Press enter key to save changes. (I am not sure if you are a new JAWS user, but the insert key on the number pad on the right side of the keyboard is the JAWS key. If using a laptop configuration then the caps lock key is the JAWS key). If the picture and graphical objects detection is turned on then when you move on to the picture using an arrow key JAWS should speak the size of the picture. While working in Microsoft Word you can also move directly to a picture by listing objects using CTRL+Shift+O. The command gives a list of objects. Use up and down arrow keys to find the object or picture you want to work with and press enter key. When you press enter key the cursor should be right where you want it to be to get the correct context menu. Press application key. I thought that the Alt text tab was in the format picture dialog but it is in the size dialog. After using application key use up or down arrow keys to the size choice and press enter. Use CTRL+tab in that dialog to move to the Alt text page. If need be use tab to the edit box. There might already be text in the box that you might want to leave, but if not or if you want different text just replace the existing text. Tab to the close button and use spacebar after typing in the text. Take care.
