Re: Having JAWS 2020 Speak Capital Letters With Microsoft Word 2016
Hi David, ? This is very useful. I notice it works when you arrow letter by letter. Is there any way to set it so you would hear “cap” if you were reading in Say All or continuous reading mode? If this could be done, it would be very nice for proofreading. ? Thanks, David K. ? |

Re: What Software/Versions On A New Computer?
开云体育Paul, you asked: >Is it meant to cover Outlook and other Office software
questions for the Mac?
Absolutely. I should have mentioned that in the welcome message
which is sent to new subscribers and I will eventually update that
message to reflect this. In fact, discussions of Office
applications for any operating system, including iOS and Android,
are also permitted and encouraged. Please bear in mind that I
personally only use Office on Windows and have had little
experience with it on iOS. Most of our subscribers are likely
Windows users but, that being said, discussing Office on the Mac
is absolutely fine. I have heard that the accessibility of Office
on the Mac has improved and, if this is the case, that's very good
news.

Re: question about 365
开云体育Ann, The cost of Microsoft 365 depends on whether you're purchasing it
for use at home or for a business. have a few choices. Microsoft 365 Personal costs $69.99 per year and includes a terabyte of OneDrive space which, for me, is a very attractive benefit. You can also purchase it on a monthly basis. Office 365 Home costs $99.99 per year, also with an option to pay by the month, and allows for up to six users, with each user getting their own terabyte of storage on Onedrive. I believe you also get 60 minutes of Skype calling per month but I'm honestly not a Skype user and so I'm not in a position to offer any feedback about that service. As for bugs with JAWS I'll let others on the list address this. This can depend on the version of JAWS you are using, any issues which may have been introduced in any particular JAWS update as well as unintended issues introduced in an Office update, which is released on a monthly basis.

Re: [EXTERNAL] [office-accessibility] How to work with comments in word
开云体育Good morning, Chelsea, ? I am using the same combination of JAWS and Word. I do not know about the Google Documents portion, since I have not tried that part. In Word, once I have my list of comments, after hitting Ctrl+shift+apostrophe, I can just arrow down the list of comments.? Once I get to the comment in the list, I can hit Okay to go to the text with the comment in the document. To delete or edit comments, I can go to the comment, then hit the applications key, then a list of options is available. To add a new comment, I can either highlight the text, then click the applications key for the list of options, or just hit alt, then N, then L. ? ? ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

Re: How to work with comments in word
开云体育Hello there, To add a comment, do the following: 1. Select text you want commented on. 2. Press Alt R to go to the Review tab 3. Press C for Comment. 4. Begin typing in your comment and press Escape when finished. ? In JAWS’ Quick Nav you can quickly move between comments. Press Insert Z to turn on Quick nav and then n to move between comments. At this point just press Applications to bring up a context menu and in this menu it has options to Edit, Reply or Delete a comment. ? You can also press Control Shift apostrophe and this will give you a list similar to the links list and you can use first letter navigation to move between them. ? ?

Re: are their any tutorials for outlook 2016
开云体育Heather, Brian Hartgen sells two tutorials covering the use of Outlook. I am not certain if they are more applicable to Outlook 2013 but most of the material should be relevant. I have heard that he talks about navigating with shift-tab to move from the list of messages to the list of folders. In later versions of Outlook this has changed to control-shift-tab. Freedom Scientific released a three-part series of webinars covering Outlook 2016 as well as a skill-building webinar for that same version. There is also a webinar on Outlook from August of 2019. You can from the above link.

What Software/Versions On A New Computer?
开云体育Hi All,
?
I have begun looking at new computers since my current Windows computer is
over 7 years old. I will be using Jaws so I’m wondering about what software will
work best with Jaws on a new Windows 10 system.
?
So for starters, I am a MS Word user and am not sure if I need to be aware
of any issues with the latest version of Word. I’m also not thrilled with what I
understand in newer versions of Word of my personal documents being stored in
the cloud. I want to keep my documents on my computer only. What should I buy so
far as Word goes?
?
Second I am not sure what the best email program for a jaws user is these
days. I’m still using Windows Live Mail on my current system and know its no
longer supported. What is the best program for all the basics of adding,
deleting, & editing contacts, sending & saving attachments, and of
course writing, editing and sending emails?
?
I’m sure I’ll think of other questions as I continue looking at computer
options.
?
Thanks in advance for your input.
?
