Re: reading N Y Times articles
Gerald Levy
The easiest way to read the New York Times, or any other major newspaper, for that matter, is to access it using NFB Newsline Online, rather than trying to access it directly from the paper's web site. All articles on NFB Newsline are arranged alphabetically by headline within section, and of course, there are no annoying pop-ups or flash content to deal with.

reformatted their daily headlines email so that headlines are no longer marked as headers. Before, I could skip from story to story by pressing 3 for header at level 3. Now I have to press 4 for the reporter's byline, then arrow up twice to the actual headline. Still worse, the layout isn't consistent, and this method sometimes skips over material. I've written to the Times to ask them to reinstate the header format for headlines. Their first response was thanks for my opinion. I followed up, and this time got an assurance that my request had been forwarded to Development. To address your concern here, I find that the webpages on the website are no longer as stable. I can't say I've experienced what you describe because I automatically go right to the print version. However, it's sometimes difficult to pin down the print link. You've probably noticed that sometimes an ad will pop up as a webpage appears to be opening. The usual solution in this case is to go to the top of the page and arrow down once. Here there's a link for skipping the ad. Press enter on this, and the webpage I want stays in place. You might want to bring your experience to the attention of the Times. As I tried to suggest, you might need to be persistent. Past problems with the newspaper have always been fixed. I'm using JAWS 14, Win7 and IE9. I find that JAWS 14 handles the Internet better than previous versions of JAWS.

JAWS not saying "Star, Star" when typing passwords
Sameer
Dear List Members,
I am using JAWS 14 with Internet Explorer 8 & Windows XP as the OS. I have noticed the following strange behaviour during the past couple of weeks & request suggestions from members about it's cause & solution. 1. Whenever I type passwords online, for example for logging into my email account, JAWS will stay silent. Previously, it used to announce "Star, Star" as I typed the passwords. 2. But if I turn on private browsing in Internet Explorer, JAWS says "Star, Star" when typing passwords on the same website. This problem does not occur in Firefox. Thanking all in advance for any & all assistance. Regards Mr. Sameer Latey Mumbai, India -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How to work on MS office on a Mac
Apoorv Kulkarni <apoorvkulkarni@...>
Hello all,
I noticed that a few of you are using Mac. I was curious to know how are you all using JAWS on a Mac. I understand that JAWS does not work on OS 10. Also, I think that MS Office suite developed for Mac is inaccessible with Apple's voiceover. If my understanding is correct, How are you all able to work on MS Office on a Mac? I am thinking of buying a Mac, and so am eager to hear from you. Regards, Apoorv

Hi,

It would depend which version of excel your using. If its 2010 then you go to the home menu, then cells, then format, then auto fit either row or Colum depending on which one you want to change. I think for older versions of excel (the versions before the ribbon toolbars) you go to the format menu and it's been a while since I've used the older versions but I think there is a cells option in there somewhere with the auto fit options. Hope this helps. Regards Paul Lemm

Subject: How to resize columns and rows in Excel Hello everyone, I wanted to know how to resize columns and rows in MS Excel.

Depending on whether the adjacent cell has any text, the overflowing text either is displayed or disappears behind the contents of the adjacent cell. In either of the two cases, JAWS will read the complete content of the text, and so, a JAWS user may not understand if the text is appearing properly on the screen. I wanted to know if there is any way to resize the column such that the cell is wide enough to display the text completely.

In Excel 2007, press Alt + H followed by O & I for adjusting column width. Press Alt + H followed by O & A to adjust row width. The above commands will increase the column/ row width to fit the largest amount of data appearing in that particular column/ row. Regards Mr. Sameer Latey Mumbai, India
