Re: Adding figures in Excel 2010

Not the enter key, the equals key. This will get you the sum function, IIRC.

(I know it's something plus equals) The formula is =sum([first cell]:[last cell])

Adding figures in Excel 2010
Ford, Tim (CDPH-OLS) <Tim.Ford@...>
Can someone please tell me how to add up a column of numbers in Excel 2010? For older Excel versions, I could use a keyboard shortcut, something like alt plus the enter key.

Re: accessible dvd software
Peter Donahue
Hello everyone,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It's the same reason why they removed the "What You Hear" or "Stereo Mix" settings for sound cards from Windows Vista and later. It's wrong for MS or any software manufacturer to automatically assume that everyone is a media pirate. They would do well to watch Bat Man, Superman, The Lone Ranger, and other programs that began life on radio and eventually wound up on T.V. Old Time Radio collectors preserved these programs for today's generations to enjoy. Thank God they did. Will today's television and radio entertainment wind up in a black hole due to piracy paranoia and be lost to future generations?Fortunately there are those who have found ways to capture this material despite the antics of Microsoft. All the best. Peter Donahue who will continue to use Windows XP for as long as he can.

it works well, I also use remote desktop to connect to virtual machines running on the local system and that works very well.

I think FS charges another $200 to add the remote feature to his license. Also, Jaws needs to be installed on both his machine and the remote one he would be controlling. I think all the competing solutions require installation at both ends though.

I was told by someone I trust that he only fully accessible DVD player, was developed and is sold by IRTI, a long-time blindness products company. It works fine for both DVD movies and music CD. For movies, you can easily pick any of the alternative audio tracks, such as the audio description, director's comments, etc. The product is called eClipseMedia-Server Accessible Home Theater. (It includes an internet radio option, which I have not tried, and probably will not since the Victor Reader version 4.3 included that easy internet radio service.) You can download for free a full featured 30 day demo version. It costs $29.95 for the permanent license; they email you the unlocking key. The program was designed to use the built-in voice you have for narrator. There is a setting to turn off that voice and use just JAWS, but that button currently does not work. So to use this product as it was designed, which I recommend, turn off JAWS before you launch the software. The software will not allow you to exit JAWS once it launches. You can use it with both voices running, but I find it too confusing. The link is: http://store.irti.net/eclipsemedia-server-pc-software/ One warning.

Man, that's a jip! It was one of the easiest and best going. I was hoping they'd take that final step, and ad Blu -ray capability. I knew I was glad I stuck with 7. Thank goodness it takes add-ins.

Yes, I have WMP V12, but it seems I have to get an add-in app to extend functionality. I can't make sense of the Windows app store, so am dropping that approach for now. I don't watch many movies on my PC, so this isn't a big deal. Just something I thought would be nice to have.

Subject: RE: accessible dvd software Hi Jean, I have a relatively cheap option. I was told by someone I trust that he only fully accessible DVD player, was developed and is sold by IRTI, a long-time blindness products company. It works fine for both DVD movies and music CD. For movies, you can easily pick any of the alternative audio tracks, such as the audio description, director's comments, etc. The product is called eClipseMedia-Server Accessible Home Theater. (It includes an internet radio option, which I have not tried, and probably will not since the Victor Reader version 4.3 included that easy internet radio service.) You can download for free a full featured 30 day demo version. It costs $29.95 for the permanent license; they email you the unlocking key. The program was designed to use the built-in voice you have for narrator. There is a setting to turn off that voice and use just JAWS, but that button currently does not work. So to use this product as it was designed, which I recommend, turn off JAWS before you launch the software. The software will not allow you to exit JAWS once it launches. You can use it with both voices running, but I find it too confusing. The link is: http://store.irti.net/eclipsemedia-server-pc-software/ One warning. You will want to go into the control panel and turn off auto start when inserting a movie or music disk. Hope this helps!

DeCamp Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2014 4:27 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: RE: accessible DVD software FYI - I downloaded & installed this software on my Win64 Win 7 system with no significant issues. It worked reasonably well for many of my DVD's & I liked the Internet radio features. However, my desire was for this program to get around the copy protection blocking that occurs with newer DVD's with Windows media player that require JAWS to be unloaded before they can play the DVD. When I tried any of these DVD's with this software & JAWS running, the program either locked up for crashed, so no go. I have not decided yet whether to pay the $30 for the program. I probably will not as it still couldn't play newer DVD's on my Win 7 64 bit system. I'll just have to continue unloading JAWS when I want to play these DVD's. --- hth --- -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-bounces@...] On Behalf Of Ford, Tim (CDPH-OLS) Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2014 12:35 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'
