[JAWS-Users] Windows application key
Hello, On the standard Windows keyboard, there exists an Applications key (sometimes referred to as the Menu key). This is not the Windows-key. On the standard keyboard, it sits to the right of the right Alt-key or to the right of the right Windows-key. On my new Lenovo X260, (Canadian Version), I can't find it. If you have an x260, can you tell me where it might be? If my new pc doesn't have an Applications key, How can I simulate the Shift+Applications-Key?

FS's Dennis Godin has solved the problem, and I think it's worth posting the solution. Some time ago, the federal government issued a warning about security lapses in Java, and I removed it from my system. Today, Dennis godin encouraged me to reinstall it. A quick Google check assured me that the security problems have been fixed, so I went ahead. One nice thing for those of us who tied ourselves in knots installing and activating early versions of Java Access Bridge, which screenreaders need, is that JAB is now incorporated into Java. You still have to change a setting in the Ease of Access Center, but it's a simple task. Between Java and the JAWS insert-escape refresh command, I can now access the webpage that annoyed me for a month. Below I'm copying the link to the Java download page and the link to FS's Java and JAB installation instructions. Note that when downloading Java, you're encouraged to accept an Amazon and other features that I, for one, don't want cluttering my system, so be sure to tab through each option as you go through the installation process. Also, as frequently mentioned on this list, I suggest saving the file and running it from your system instead of running it from the website.

Re: [JAWS-Users] f11 on internet explorer
We of course don't know everything you have tried. So we might suggest something you have tried. You could try Alt+v (for view) and arrow around to see if you can find something to change your window size. You could also try hitting the Applications key and have a look at its menu. Using the mouse, you can quite often drag the corner of the window to make it larger or smaller. It really depends on the application that has been invoked to watch your video. You could also ask your daughter what she did with the mouse.

The problem I'm about to describe did exist when using JAWS16, but if I was persistent, I could eventually get JAWS to read the information I needed. Here is what is going on. . JAWS will only read a portion of my formula from the beginning to some place in the middle. The formula is 179 characters plus 6 spaces. It used to be that if I used various navigational commands inside the cell, I could evidentially read the formula. Now with JAWS17, It is just not happening. . When setting up a custom sort I cannot get JAWS to read the contents of the various drop down lists. It used to be that if I opened the list, arrowed to where I thought the criteria was that I wanted, tab away from the drop down list and then back to it, when I opened it the second time I could hear what I has selected previously. If it was not what I wanted I would repeat my game of roulette until I landed on my desired choice. Now if I manage to get JAWS to read something, it continues to read some random value from the list. Is anyone else having these issues? Does anyone have any ideas for work arounds? I hope to have time Friday to call FS, but in the meantime, it would be really nice to be able to get this task off of my desk at work.

[JAWS-Users] Recording from the phone
Hello, I was finally able to have my wife read the label for me on my phone recorder. It is the Tele-Recorder model TR-50. It is a little box less than the length of my little finger, about as thick as my little finger and about as wide as my thumb. There are no moving parts, buttons or switches. It just has a wire coming out of each end; One wire plugs into a phone jack and the other wire plugs into a recorder line input. I have it plugged into a splitter on the phone jack and my Book port Plus and use it in the same way I would when recording anything else. The only thing to note is that you have to set the record input to external mike rather than line-in. This is because the level of the phone signal is very low.

I have tried most of them for my language, US English, and in certain circumstances they work great, for everyday use, Eloquence is still my favorite, it reads punctuation I wish, raises and lowers pitch for capitalization and after 17 years of using JAWS the cadence is something I have gotten used to hearing. I have used other voices but I go back to Eloquence and probably will do so until it disappears from the program. I hated Tom years ago, Samantha is horrible, some of the others also sound like smokers, or Grandpa in Eloquence. I use Paul from Voice ware in another screen reader and he is fine except for some mispronunciations on some words. I used Paul then I had K1000 but it never worked right with Windows 7, the voices in Open Book drive me crazy after reading with hem for an hour or more. However, Eloquence in Open Book also drives me crazy if I have to read for more than a few minutes, the cadence is not the same as with JAWS, the phrasing is off, pitch seems less stable,. I used it to read a PDF converted for a church project, 288 pages more or less and I was amused by how it pronounced bible names, annoyed by the constant higher pitch for some items, have no clue why it could change pitch in the middle of a sentence, found it very distracting to be frank.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Hi Tom, Since you indicated that you are very good at deleting unwanted items, I'd take a look at cleaning up your data files. Remember that when you simply delete an item, it just goes into your deleted folder. Check this first and if you have a huge number of items here, you can permanently delete them. Next, I'd take a look to see if your data files are being automatically compressed. I'd go ahead and manually compress them. A Google search for "how to compress outlook 2010 data files" has lots of information on this topic.

You may remember that, last week, I posted a quiry to the list regarding an increasingly sluggish Windows 7 desktop computer with Jaws, to the point that it became unusable. I originally thought the problem related to some sort of a virus I had gotten, since it seemed that something in internet explorer was constantly running. I think that might have been part of the problem, but after taking the computer to a local computer repair shop, it seems that the biggest problem is with Outlook 2010. I am not sure how he found this out, but the computer repair person indicated that my Outlook data file is unbelievably huge! It contains something like 10 gigs of material, and is constantly running, and trying to refresh itself. I access both my work and personal g-mail accounts via Outlook 2010, and am very good at deleting e-mails that are no longer of use to me. I also periodically check my all mail folder in my personal g-mail account to be sure that deleted e-mails are not showing up in there. I guess my question is this: Should I totally un-install Outlook 2010, and re-install it again? Or, is there some way I can correct this issue with my currrent version of Outlook 2010? My University currently uses Office 365, which I know contains a version of Outlook, so I'm wondering if that might be another way to go. The computer tech at my local computer repair shop advises me to forget outlook, and just access my personal g-mail via the g-mail web site, but I have not had the greatest luck navigating that web site with Jaws 14. I'm not sure if such an approach would work with my work e-mail account either. Any wisdom that can be shed on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: CTRL keys do not work.
Hello, In my case, I could make it happen by hitting the left shift+control key shortcut. It would change my keyboard type and, as I indicated in my note below, the right control key would remain down. So, for example, if I hit the Tab key with the right Alt key, I would get Alt+Control+Tab. I've experienced the JAWS problem in the past and I actually did try your solution of rapidly tapping the control key. It didn't help. The problem went completely away after making adjustments in Regional and Language settings. I know we like to jump on "it's a JAWS problem". But, in my case, it was not.

Actually this is likely an age-old JAWS problem that's been around since version 3, 4, or 5. Occasionally a key gets "stuck" electronically (not mechanically) and it adds to other key combinations and results in either nothing happening or unexpected results. The age-old solution is to rapidly tap each pair of keys several times each -- the pair of control keys, the pair of alt keys, the pair of shift keys, and the pair of windows keys. Usually this resolves the problem It's never been fixed, so it will happen in JAWS 16 and any version of Windows.

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with excel
Hello, I have just resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading the contents of a cell. I am using Windows 7, Excel 2010 and the latest version of JAWS 16. In my spreadsheet, column C and D contain dollar amounts. When I was moving left to column C, JAWS was reading the cell contents correctly. When I moved over to column D, JAWS was saying "blank". I checked all of my JAWS settings, which are correct. "now, what the hell is JAWS doing wrong this time?, said I. I finally asked my wife what was going on. She reported that the values of column D were showing in the formula bar at the top of the spreadsheet. But, because the width of column D was 1 character, nothing was showing in the cell. I selected the entire column and AutoFit it. "hey, it works!". And, no, I have no idea how I got column D to be just 1 character wide. So, it isn't always JAWS that is screwing up. However, I am having another problem with JAWS 16 and Excel 2010 which I may write about in another post.

You might need to use the JAWS pass through command first, which is the JAWS key with the number 3. (Use the number three that is above the E and not the one on the number pad). Try it without the pass through first but my system must be using that keystroke for something else and I need to use the pass through command. To change the format of a cell to a number format that uses two decimal places, a thousand separator and a minus sign when applicable use CTRL+Shift+! (that is the control key with the shift key and the number 1) If you need to select a range to apply the formatting to then you can use CTRL+G and type in the first and last cell to be included in the range separated by a colon. For example, A7:g12 will select cells starting with a7 and ending with g12 once you press the enter key. You can then use the keystroke to apply the number format you want. If you want a different numbering format then use CTRL+1 and use the formatting dialog box to make your change. Take care.

The text explanations change, depending on which parameter you have highlighted currently. Before doing anything, look through these. 6. You can try a change, make a note of it and then if you don't like the results, open up Quick Settings again and try another setting. Excel settings for Jaws are quite extensive.

Trying to create a formula in excel that uses the same cell on multiple sheets, taking weekly figures and adding them up to get a monthly figure. The layout is the same for the other sheets, therefore the weekly figure is going to be in the same cell, just on different sheets. So, how would you suggest I accomplish this to get my monthly figure? We are dealing with dollars, btw. Steve and Shannon Cook Today I married my best friend. The one that I laugh with, live for, love.

Re: [JAWS-Users] couple of Excel questions
I'd try F7 to spell-check the spreadsheet.

Someone else entered a couple of the names and I think they are misspelled but can't figure out how to check that and how to edit if they are? I'm using JAWS 13 and Office 2010. I can only use keyboard commands, can't see enough to operate the mouse. thanks, Dacia For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
