Thank you david i think I understand,I seem to get stuck in dialogue boxes
,escape and then still cannot escape if this dell inspire desktop is not put
off vvery carefully, it makes the fuss I describe. No other desktop I had
made such a fuss,they were xp. Re safe mode when my old xp died I was
downloading jaws 11, when I say died it would try to load up,a couple of
people said"you should have told him to try to repair it in safe mode I
imagine that maybe the kindof safe mode the list is discussing. The engineer
said jaws 11 coming in must havehit a bit of the hardrive that was damaged
it is good windows 7 is just coming out isn't it and you have an external
back up"letme custom make you a windows 7 machine for only one thousand
pound 2 friends said"let us look for a good one on line hence I got the
dell windows7 64 bit, which as listmay recaull had a hd failure after 10
months yes it was under warranty,but that is another story!!

Thanks, Tom.

Will give this a try.

Tom Behler

Wow, thanks for that Website Ben. Great resource.

Hi, if you bring the rtf into word you can highlight the document and apply a basic style such as the "normal" style. This should stop the chatter unless there is other formatting that you want to hear.

Regards
Tom Bisset

Tom, I have no experience with PowerPoint, but can't you copy the RTF text,
whether directly or after going into virtual window mode with JAWS
key-alt-w? Then you could eliminate the "heading" verbalization.

As for finding Jamal's Text Pal, there's always google.

Hi, Kirsten.

I tried the RTF option yesterday, and, although the text was there and in the correct order as you suggest, Jaws kept reading heading information at the beginning of just about every line, which made reading and understanding the text very difficult.

Tom from Michigan

Anne:

Tom Behler here again.

I tried the F6 suggestion, and get the following options:

Notes page pane; slide thumbnails tab; and slide area.

I find no mention of an outline option.

Again, I think this was done in powerpoint 2007, if that makes any difference.

Tom from Michigan

Anne:

I don't know where to get Jamal's text pal, but your second suggestion about the outline may do the trick for now.

Thanks!

Tom Behler in Michigan

Yes. AS I remember someone on this list had posted some media center
commands and I used them successfully. I should mention as well that I
installed the software on both a ACER XP Netbook and DELL VISTA Desktop
computer. It worked very well on both. On the netbook I USED THE TUNER
SOFTWARE AND ON THE DESKTOP I used media center.

Jimmy

Does it work with Media Centre?

I had some success with this tuner. The software was JAWS accessible but it
takes a little exploration to learn the ins and outs of it. For example,
after using the JAWS Cursor to set recording schedules, I discovered that
all I really needed to do was use shift+tab to move back through the forms.
Once I knew that the program scheduling became a breeze.

You can get more information at www. Hauppauge.com

Hope this is useful.

Jimmy

Haha got it this time. I'll have a look.

To the best of my recollection, Eudora supported three modes of operation: a slightly crippled light mode, a more functional sponsored mode with ads, and a full mode which cost money but was free of ads and contained all functionality.

To enable full mode, click "Payment and registration" on the Help menu and from there you can enter a registration code to unlock the full mode.

When Qualcom discontinued Eudora development, they released a generic registration code, provided below, to unlock full mode without payment.

It's a valid JAWS question because much of the functionality of the calculator is locked away behind mouse clickable buttons on the display. Fortunately, there are about 90 keyboard shortcuts available to overcome this problem.

See the following article on how to locate these keyboard shortcuts

http://superuser.com/questions/274264/windows-calculator-shortcut-keys

Briefly, hitF1, tab to Shortcut Keys and hit Enter, then tab around until you get to the windows calculator shortcut keys, which contains a table of 2 columns by 90 rows, at least in Windows 7 help.

Hello there;

I just want you to no,

Working in safe mode, with MSOutlook, is way different then working in safe
mode, from boot up.

MSOutlook, will ask you, if you want to work in safe mode, especially, if
there has been an issue with the outlook files.
Generally, if you say yes to work in safe mode, outlook will perform
correctly.

However, if you close outlook, and restart the program, outlook will
Go back to working correctly.
However, working in safe mode from boot up, is way different, you have no
speech, no drivers are loaded.

If you open the powerpoint and then go to the save dialog box, tab to the
type/format box and arrow down you should be able to save it as an RTF doc
which will give you all the text from all the slides in the right order.
Before I discovered this I used to have to copy and paste the text out of
the slides, but this is much quicker. I use 2007 so if that is what you have
it definitely works.

I have just read about safe mode on this list,I did not know security was
at risk if using it. I only use it under following circumstances, example
for some reason my windows 7 laptop using ms outlook,seems to get stuck in a
dialogue box, and I cannot escape,eventually i try closing down the machine
a dell 64 bit,but it hangs,so I have to pressin button on tower for a while
Later on reloading the machine complains it ms outlook was not treated well
and says to work in safe mode to , it offers this option even though it
assumes I am going to say No, that is get it right, whilst I hear it suggest
safe mode jaws seems to want to choose the No option,eventually I run it in
safe mode for a while then try to close it down. Are you saying if I tried
to log onto web at any point I am putting my computer at risk,or is it at
risk anytime in safe mode? Many thanks dorothy

The very best way is to use Jamal Mazrui's TextPal. The next best way is to f6 to outline view, select all, then copy and paste it to a new document.

Good luck!

Hi, everyone.

Can someone tell me the easiest way to extract and save the text from the slides in a powerpoint presentation?

I have a powerpoint presentation here from work, and all I need is the text content for future reference.

As best as I can tell, the presentation is done in Office 2007 powerpoint format.

Thanks!
