Re: Excel Reading
Debby Hill
Hi Ed,
I don’t have a precise idea about this either, but I worked on an excel sheet on Friday with Excel 2010 and JAWS 17 and it was filling the cells. So I looked at my setting, and I have a possibility. Under Home in Cell Formatting there is a submenu called fill. I am not sure if that is it, but the option on my menu that said “down” was grayed out. And indeed my spreadsheet was auto filling the cells down as I typed.
Hope this is correct and helps!

Re: Why does not Skype close when I hit alt+F4?
Gudrun Brunot
Richard, I have the same issue. To be able to close skype, you need to make
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
its icon appear in the system tray. Then, you can go to the systray with JAWS-f11, click on the skype icon and go to file, arrow up to quit. So, you need to find the taskbar so you can hit customize it. I simply hit control-escape and searched for "taskbar." The first entry was "taskbar and start menu." Choose that and control-tab among start menu, toolbar, and taskbar. When you're on taskbar, tab several times to customize and hit enter. Here, you will find three items that you can arrow up and down among to set whether you always want to show icons and notifications, turn system icons on or off, or restore defaults. Then, tab several times past "help" and you're coming to a list of all your icons. For each icon, there are 3 options that you arrow up and down to see: show icons and notifications; hide icons and notifications; only show notifications. Tab to the next icon and set its parameter. I had Skype set to show icons and notifications. Then, it will be available to close from the system tray. Hope it helps Gudrun

Re: Why does not Skype close when I hit alt+F4?
Because Skype is composed of two separate parts, one is the user interface that you use when actively Skyping, the other part is a background process that constantly watches for the next incoming call or message, or you firing up the user interface to make a call or send a message. Closing the user interface does that, and only that, and the Skype background process continues to run. This architecture is not unique to Skype, either, though it's done for different reasons for different programs. The Google Chrome browser is running in the background even when you've closed the browsing window entirely and have no active interaction with it. Firefox does this as well. The Google Hangouts app, which is not unlike Skype in intent, does this, too. If you want to shut down the background process the only method of doing so is via the icon in the system tray if one exists (and it does for Skype). Otherwise you have to go in to the Task manager and actually hunt down processes to kill, and I don't suggest that anyone do this unless they happen to know exactly what they're doing.

Re: Why does not Skype close when I hit alt+F4?
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
Hi Richard,
You can change a setting in Skype so that it at least disappears off your taskbar, this means it is still open and since Skype is meant to run in the background so you can receive messages and calls, it is designed not to close with Alt+F4. If you want to set it up so Alt+F4 puts it in the background where you won’t come across it with Alt+Tab, open Skype, go to Tools (Alt+T) and arrow up to “Options”. You can also arrow down, but since options is the last item on this menu arrowing up gets you there a lot quicker. In options go to the “Advanced” tab, then tab I think 3 times and you hear “Keep Skype in the taskbar while I’m signed in”. This will be checked. If you press the spacebar to uncheck it, then tab to “Save” and activate it, Skype will disappear from your taskbar. You will still have a Skype icon in the system tray although you may have to turn it on for it to be always visible when you go there with Jaws Key+F11. Here you can actually completely unload Skype, just bring up the systray, go to the Skype icon and press enter on it, then arrow up once which puts focus on “Quit” and press enter, you can also just press enter on the Skype icon and then press the letter “q” for quit and Skype will be completely closed/unloaded. Lastly, I think if you have Doug Lee’s scripts pressing Alt+F4 twice quickly will close it completely.

You have to change it in the preferences. If you want to close it the way that it is set up you can use the task manager, Control/Shift/Escape. Press S for Skype and then alt/E to close it.

Re: Skype for JAWS 18
Poppa Bear <heavens4real@...>
I solved the problem. I made sure that I installed the latest JAWS update and then I went and uninstalled Skype, downloaded the latest version from the site and now everything is back up. I made sure that I restarted my computer after uninstalling and reinstalling programs just to be on the safe side. Also, now that I think about it, I haven’t used the D Lee scripts on the last 4 computers in my lab that I have put Skype on. Honestly the built in accessibility has worked just fine for me. Perhaps when I run into something that I can’t do with the built in accessibility then I will bawk and whine.

Re: shut down Windows 10?
Mario, The -t parameter is followed by a number between 0 and 600 that says how many seconds are to elapse before the shutdown, with the other parameters specified, will begin. The default with no -t parameter is 30 seconds. Using "-t 0" means now, now, do it NOW! For all the nauseating details, see:

The one that is the client intake form I did not put in all of the checkboxes that would be necessary under the section regarding prior health conditions, only the first two, for abdominal pain an allergies, because this was a draft, not final, copy. Activating any of the below listed links will immediately download the noted Word document template that employs fill-in only text fields and/or checkboxes to your computer. If you have Protected Mode enabled in MS-Word you will have to unprotect the template before you can use it. After it is saved, and unprotected if necessary, opening the template creates a new document ready for filling in and printing and/or saving. If you want to actually edit a form template you must open MS-Word, choose the Open File option, navigate to the template file (dot dotx file), and open it then go to the Developer Ribbon to the Restrict Editing button then remove the editing restriction. You have to put the editing restriction back on when you're done if you don't want anything other than the various text fields and checkboxes to be able to be filled in or checked/unchecked when a new instance of a document is created using the document template file (dot dotx file).
