Re: google drive help
Kimsan, You can't avoid the web based route entirely, as you need to use it to actually add the shared drive. Take a look at this Google Drive Help Page about folders "shared with me" and how to add them to the collection shown in Google Drive that you access directly from the desktop. Brian

Re: Backup Software and JAWS
Thanks for the replies so far. I had wondered what happened to Karen's programs since her website has, for all practical intents and purposes, vanished. Has anyone ever tried, or is using, AOMEI Backupper Standard 3.2, which is available at no cost to home users? It appears to be a great, and fairly straightforward, option but I don't know how accessible or inaccessible it may be with JAWS.

Brian, I tried SyncToy and SyncBack, but now use:

Karen Kenworthy's Power Tools Replicator http://www.jaws-users.com/programs/FileManagement/ptreplicator3.6.8-setup.exe Automatically backup files, directories, even entire drives! Karen´s Replicator copies selected files from one drive/folder to another. Source and Destination folders can reside anywhere on your network. Options include repeated copies at intervals as short as a few minutes, or as long as several months, copy only files that have changed, and the replication of file deletions. New features allow you to specify which files should not be copied and also which days a file should be skipped! Note: Free for your personal use only. Even though Karen died on 4/12/11, her program is still used by some blind users because it is accessible with JAWS, and probably other screen readers as well.

Re: fixing my centurytel.net email
Ryan, I may be able to help out on the e-mail end of things, but I need to be crystal clear on what version of Windows you're running and what e-mail client you're using. Windows mail is a bit too broad to be helpful. Are you using one of the versions of Windows Live Mail or, perhaps, the built-in mail app under Windows 10. Also, are your e-mail accounts set up to be accessible by POP, IMAP, or both? Even if you have an e-mail client that tries to set up everything related to a given e-mail account it is helpful to know what port numbers and login credential security is required for a given e-mail provider. I know what these are for gmail, since I've set up more gmail accounts (and I strongly suggest IMAP, not POP access) than I can count and I just found the stuff online for the centurytel.net domain name.

Attachments in "rich text" messages under Microsoft Outlook 2013
Jason White
Have others encountered the following (Microsoft Outlook 2013, in a "rich
text" message - Microsoft's term): The attachment is inline as part of the message body. The JAWS Insert-A command claims that there are no attachments in the message, but in fact there is an attachment. Reading the message text doesn't indicate the presence of the attachment icon and there isn't an obvious way to activate it. On the file tab of the ribbon there's a "save all attachments" option which can be used to work around the problem, as I eventually discovered after much frustration. Comments are welcome.

Re: Backup Software and JAWS
Gudrun Brunot
Brian, I use Everydayautobackup.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
When you install it, you can set it to show in the system tray like many other programs. When you open the program, you can click the "show" button, and here, you can see a list of your backup project. For a backup that is complete, without backing up the entire system, but documents, emails, favorites, you can set the c\User as source, then set a destination name that you find explanatory enough. It's a good idea to set the external drive letter to something like Z so you don't run the risk of the backup getting mixed up and trying to send the project to a drive you didn't intend to be the destination. I've found setting it to Z pretty reliable. You can set parameters under the Edit option, such as when you wish the backup to take place. I have it set to "at startup." For disk backup, I use McCrium Reflect from CleverBridge. I also have Acronis on another computer. I always like to have eyes nearby when I try this, however, for the interface isn't altogether intuitive for us keyboarders. Another option is "ShadowProtect from StorageCraft. That, also, backs up the entire system, and creates daily and monthly backups. In order to restore files from such a backup, you must "mount" a chosen backup. Then, you can browse the directories and find the material you wish to restore. For everyday comfort, I like EDB, since I can find EveryDayAutoBackup in my system tray, start another backup if I've done some important reshuffling during the day. I can also go to that external drive, find the directories with the stuff I need to restore, and just copy it back into my documents, or whatever directory it needs to go into. A wonderful security for recovering from these "oooops" situations... Gudrun

What you are looking for is 'getword' it should look like Let PhoneNumber = GetWord() You do need to declare the variable PhoneNumber, I would declare it as a global variable. Generally near the top of the script these are done as an example Global String PhoneNumber That way if you need to tab away from the screen you won't lose the content of the variable.

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@... 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

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
