fixing my centurytel.net email
Ryan Coverdell
Quite a few months ago I had malware on my computer and when it was
fixed I could send to but not receive messages at my rcover@centurytel.net email address. I use gmail for my correspondence now, but when I want to send attachments via email and such it always defaults to that address. I haven't done that for a while. I'd like to do a few things that I hope generate a lively discussion. First, I should probably see if my old centuryhtel email works again. I don't want to contact their tech support since they don't know jaws. So I have a series of questions from those on the list who can help. First, how do I, using Jaws get into the windows mail (successor to outlook express) settings to repair the settings of my old CenturyTel email account? Secondly, does windows mail work with gmail? That way I could set my gmail as default when sending attachments and such. In an unrelated item, I was using google chrome today for something different on bookshare.org and when I went to download a book nothing happens. The dropdown is set to brf format but when pressing enter nothing happens. Also, is there a way to have the save and open dialogue box when doing down loads appear in a separate window so I don't have to press alt n? I'd rather the save and open dialogue box in downloads would be front and center rather than in the background. I have many other questions in the next few days so please bare with me. I will monitor the web site for answers since I don't receive the digests anymore. Regards, Ryan Coverdell

Hi, there is a jaws function called CopyToClipBoard. If you are putting the phone number in a variable then you can do a "CopyToClipBoard(TheNumber) and then you can paste it where you want.

I do not find a paste function but you could do that manually using control+v. Regards Tom Bisset

Re: Copying to clipboard
Ann Byrne
According to the JAWS scripting manual, the format to pass a keystroke through to a script is:

TypeKey ("Alt+F") I don't know if the control key would be 'control' or 'ctrl'. Here's the link to the section of the manual: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Content/Documents/Other/ScriptManual/10-1_PassThroughScripts.htm

Re: woohoo! envelopes 2013!
Kimsan <kimsansong@...>
I’ve used 2013 ever since the cows came home and from memory, jaws 16 was not working with the envelopes; however, after having 17 since its birth, when I posted my original email was when I tried it again, so I’m thinking jaws 17 it will work in word 2013, but for me earlier versions, especially 16 it didn’t work.
Do some basic stuff first like make sure word is maximized and good things like that. I didn’t do that, but most folks commonly suggest to make sure windows are maximized.
Since I’m here, let me just check jaws 16, and if it works then I’m oblivious to why it works now… Ok, I turned on jfw 16 and when I tried to address an envelope, it did the same thing it did in the past which was freeze.

Re: woohoo! envelopes 2013!
James Bentley
Hi David,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I am using a six year old Brother Laser printer, model, HL-2140. On my particular printer, the envelope slot is located under a one inch by 12 inch plastic flap. This flap is located on the front of the printer in between the paper tray and the door that opens for replacing the toner drum. I do not know if our printers are similar but on this printer, you can feel an indention, a slot that is about two inches wide. You can put your finger in this slot, press down just a little and pull your finger toward you. This folds the plastic flap out and down and the flap becomes a shelf that helps hold the envelope. On the HL-2140, there are two small plastic tabs under the flap that folds out and down. These tabs can be slid closer together or further apart to accommodate different sizes of envelopes. You have to slide both tabs inward or outward at the same time. The envelope must fit loosely in between the two tabs so the printer can pick up the envelope.Note, on my printer, I have to insert the end of an envelope in to the slot one end first with the envelope flap down and turned to the left. Only certain kinds of envelopes work and the envelope needs to be pressed flat so no parts of the flap are turned upward. I normally insert the end of the envelope in to the printer first. Then, type up the address and start the print job. The printer then pulls the envelope in to the printer and leaves the finished print job in the same place that it leaves sheets of printed paper. I know how important it is to be able to address your own envelopes and labels with out sighted help so I sure hope this helps a little. James Bentley

Before you press enter on create account, try pressing insert + 3 to pass

Kelly, You are indeed correct. I hasten to add that I do not, and never have, attempted to teach any client the exhaustive list of either JAWS commands or keyboard shortcuts for the Windows programs they're using. As I pointed out earlier relative to myself, even I don't know anywhere near to all of these. I let the client's actual needs as I work with them guide just precisely what gets taught in terms of the weird detailed keyboard shortcuts that virtually no sighted person ever uses but that they must use if they wish to independently perform task X. I'm also big on the "teach a man or woman to fish" approach to JAWS and Windows, so that when I'm no longer present they are able to do a reasonable amount of digging and exploration on their own. I do less of this than I'd actually like to because I often have to focus on a list of immediate and pressing needs related to what the client needs to accomplish NOW (or yesterday). I will take issue with your statement about blind users and the number of keyboard shortcuts they can manage in their heads. Virtually every proficient blind computer user I know manages a large number of keyboard shortcuts in their head, far more than I do teaching them, because I learn them to teach them, while they learn them to use them and tend to build upon that list as more and more tasks are required over a period of years. I'd be shocked if it isn't hundreds, plural, for some of the really, really proficient. Brian

Re: Windows10 calculator
Elise, I really wish I could help more because Microsoft Math appears to be a very powerful tool that goes well beyond what most high-end graphing calculators used to do. The fact that you can save worksheets that you're working on and come back to them later is just incredible. I will be very curious to hear what your findings are. One small warning, though, don't be surprised if FS tells you that they are completely unfamiliar with Microsoft Math and unable to help. I have gotten this response on a couple of occasions for things that I requested help with, and I didn't think those responses were unreasonable, either, since a company like FS has to focus its efforts on what most of its target demographic actually uses, rather than what a few outliers on the bell curve in their target demographic might use. I'll be interested to hear what they have to say or tell you as well. Brian
