Re: [JAWS-Users] changes last Fall to bank of America web site
I think I worded it wrong. I just press enter on the menu or link, for example, bill pay is not expanded, so when I press enter on bill pay, it opens it up to take me to the bill pay page. Hope that makes sense. The very first thing I need to do, though, is use my JAWS curser to maximize the page so I can sign in. - Original Message - From: "PeterTighe" To: Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2018 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] changes last Fall to bank of America web site Vickie, This is helpful.

[JAWS-Users] note on my problem adding Facebook friends
Just in case others start a new Facebook account, I discovered that Facebook automatically blocks your adding friends via a request for awhile after the account is opened. You can accept requests, but cannot add friends or see posts. Seeing posts will last until you have 10 friends, but how long you are blocked from requesting friends is up to them. I'm still blocked. Just wanted to let anyone know that it's not a JAWS issue. Vicki For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] adding a friend on Facebook
Well, now I can't log in and I believe it is just a security for a new account. I haven't been on Facebook for years and deleted my old account at that time. This is a new account and first they e-mailed me a 5 digit security code to approve me with that e-mail. Then they wanted my cell phone number before I could log back in. I wonder what people do who don't have a cell phone because there was no option to get beyond this step. I gave them my cell phone number and they sent me a six digit code to approve my cell phone. Then when I tried to add a friend, as before, I got the message not to request people I don't know and there was an okay button. This happened before, so I pressed okay and then they said they needed a photo with a clear picture of my face and then they could approve me and would delete that photo from their server. That was two days ago and no news yet. I still can't log in after they logged me out. What a process!

[JAWS-Users] strange issue with JAWS 2018 installation
Hi List, A few days ago I wrote about an issue with my laptop involving the installation of JAWS 2018. I get an error message that the video intercept cannot be processed. I will be calling about that issue soon unless someone else has a solution. Now, however, I have a problem with my desktop and JAWS 2018 which I didn't have before. When I got home, JAWS said it was in the 40 minute mode, which happens very rarely and will resolve with a reboot, which I did. That didn't work. I tried a reauthorization twice which said it was successful, but it wasn't. I then completely uninstalled and reinstalled from a new download on the webpage. It still didn't work. I made sure to double check my authorization number each time. When I checked my number of keys, it was still at 3, so nothing had changed. The strangest thing, though, was when I went into the about section and found that the serial number wasn't mine. I reinstalled twice more with a fresh download and the serial number still isn't mine but the authorization key is. What could be causing this problem and is there a fix I can try before calling Freedom Scientific with both my laptop and now my desktop problems? I do have another version of JAWS on each computer with the correct serial number and they are both working fine. Thanks.

I also noticed it pausing when launching ResearchIt, or the JAWS find on a web page. Always around 15 to 20 seconds of silence before speech returns. Still happens with JAWS 2018, and I'm unhappy to hear that it seems to also happen with your Windows 10. I'm still running Windows 7 32-bit on a Dell Latitude. This never happened with JAWS 16 or earlier. Dave Oregonian, woodworker, Engineer, Musician, and Pioneer - Original Message - From: "Audiobookfan" To: Sent: Friday, November 10, 2017 22:49 Subject: [JAWS-Users] Temporary loss of speech I temporarily lose speech often when accessing an SD card in my built-in card reader. Here's what happens. When I insert my SD card into the card reader, most times I lose speech for about 20 seconds and each time I take some action the same thing happens. For example, I must wait about 20 seconds or so after inserting the card before I can arrow up and down to locate a folder. Once I get speech, I can arrow up and down fine, but as soon as I enter on a folder name to open the folder, I lose speech again for about 20 seconds. The same thing happens when I press the applications key to bring up the context menu. I must wait the 20 seconds or so before I can arrow through the menu. I'm running JAWS 2018 on Windows 10 version 1703, although this same problem occurred on JAWS 18 on this computer. This only happens with SD cards and not absolutely every time, but most times. Accessing the local SSD, external USB drives and network drives all behave as they should. I suspect this might be an issue with some setting in Windows 10, but I have no idea what setting or where to look for it. And perhaps it's something altogether different. I'm open to all suggestions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] adding accent marks with JAWS
Thank you. This is very helpful since most of the work I am doing is in Word.

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.
