[JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS

2018-02-27 Thread Adrian Spratt
Hi. Using Word 2010, I became dependent on the F8 key to select a sentence. It doesn't work in 2016. At Google, I find a control-mouse click instruction, but using the JAWS simulated mouse, it doesn't work. Has anyone found an alternative keyboard command buried in Word 2016 for this operation?

[JAWS-Users] Two problems with JAWS 2018

2018-01-11 Thread Adrian Spratt
Now that I'm trying JAWS 2018 again, I'm encountering two problems. Has anyone else found the same things, and if so, do you have suggestions? 1. When I alt-tab away from an IE page, JAWS doesn't return to the place I left, so I have to find it all over again. 2. No menus come up in Word 2010.

A few thoughts. First, with JAWS, some webpages act as if they load twice. I will click on a link and JAWS will start speaking the next page. I assume all is well and start navigating, typing, etc. However, it turns out JAWS hasn't processed the page yet, and so after a pause (which I don't
