Marsha,

With Jaws 2018 and Ms Word 2010, I experience the same, but it works if you search with the function key 6 to get the text field.

I have a student who uses Jaws 2019, with MS word 2013 and Windows 10. When doing a simple search, control+F, types in the ssearch term, presses enter, which then takes her to the first search result. Then the escape is used to get out of the find, Jaws reports, “Not available outside of tables or Spellchecker in Office 2013 or later.” I can not reproduce this message. All Jaws updates have been applied. And I can’t imagine why this is happening, since it was only stated once the escape key was pressed.

Any ideas?

An alternative approach:

?

·?????? Deselect the mail with focus on the list by pressing CTRL + Space

·?????? Launch the context menu by pressing the application key or Shift + F10

?

You should find sort in the context menu list that pops up. HTH.

Marsha,

I personally haven't encountered this problem but the message that your student is hearing is normally what you would hear if you pressed insert-C for read word in context in situations where this hotkey doesn't apply or function.

Like you I'm unable to reproduce this problem. Does this happen even if your student closes and restarts JAWS? Does it occur if Word is also closed and restarted?
As a workaround your student could try using the JAWS Find command with quick keys enabled. 
1. Press insert-Z to enable quick keys.
2. Press insert-ctrl-F for the JAWS find dialog. Type the text string to find and press enter.

One advantage of this method is that the cursor should land right on the text and your student won't need to press the escape key to close the find dialog.

Re: What's the latest blind friendly version of the office suite?

#261

The only reason I ever upgrade Microsoft Office these days is if the version I have is going or has gone out of support.? You can check what the end of support date is for any Microsoft produce at?.

The shows that support for Office 2019 and 2016, both, goes through 10/14/2025.? I'm certainly in no rush to dump Office 2016, as it meets all my needs.

Re: What's the latest blind friendly version of the office suite?

#260

Office 365 (now part of Microsoft 365) is always the latest version, as it regularly receives new features as well as security improvements. Office 2019 is based on an older version of Office 365.

Ron,

Office 2019 is the latest edition of Office with what is known as a perpetual license, meaning that you buy it for a one time fee, install it and it essentially works for as long as you'd care to use it. I don't know when the next edition for a perpetual license is scheduled for release but Microsoft seems to release a new edition every three years since 2007. This means that we will likely see a new edition with Office 2022.

Re: Deleting a folder in Outlook

When using the method you describe, the folder that will be deleted is the folder upon which has focus when opening the Context menu.

If this is not the folder you wish to delete, close the Context menu, navigate to the folder you wish to delete, and reopen the Context menu and select Delete.

HTH.

I don't think Microsoft is going to release any further "perpetual versions" after Office 2019.? ?All indications are that they have moved Office to a subscription service, and only a subscription service, and intend to keep it that way.

See this article:?
as well as others if you search on Office 2019 last version.

I suspect this is going to drive a lot of home users to alternate office suites, which are numerous.? One of the biggest and most commonly adopted being .

The old email addresses are probably coming from something Microsoft calls their auto completion list (sometimes called a cache). The following article describes the operation of this list. There is a way, using a mouse, to remove individual names from the list, but I have not found a way to do this with a screen reader and only a keyboard. However, you can also delete the complete contents and let it learn again. This is also described in the below article.
