Hello Kane;
Thanks for your response,

I went on Google and found the following,
You may find this helpful.


here's some comprehensive instructions on outlook meeting requests,
according to my research, it says, outlook2016, however, I suspect it would work with the earlier versions. give it a try, and let me know.

Quickly read meeting requests and respond to them in Outlook 2016 by using keyboard shortcuts and a screen reader.

Note: This topic assumes that JAWS users have turned off the Virtual Ribbon Menu feature.
to make sure the virtual ribbon feature is turned off in jaws,

1, open outlook,

2, press insert+v=quick settings,

3, type the word virtual
jaws will say found 2 results,
so down arrow until you hear jaws say,
virtual ribbon, if it is checked,
press the spacebar to uncheck.
if it isn't checked, press escape to get out.
if the box was checked and you did press the spacebar to uncheck, again, press the escape key twice, to get out, or, you can simply press the enter key twice.

Accept a meeting request from the message list

1. In the Message List box, place the focus on the meeting request.

2. To read the meeting request, press F6. The focus moves to the Reading pane, and you hear the message being read. To move through the message, use the
arrow keys.

3. To move back to the meeting request in the Message List box, press Shift+F6.

4. Press numeric keypad star (or Shift+F10). The group menu opens, and you hear “Right-click menu, Group menu.” To accept or decline, use
these shortcut keys:


• To accept, press C, C, and then Enter.

• To decline, press E, Enter.

• To accept tentatively, press N, Enter.

5. The Microsoft Outlook dialog box opens with the focus on the OK button and, depending on your selection, you hear “This meeting has been accepted,”
“This meeting has been declined,” or “This meeting has been tentatively accepted.”

6. To edit your response before sending, send your response now (the default selection), or choose not to send a response, use these shortcut keys:


• To edit the response before sending, press E.

• To send the response now, press S.

• To choose not to send a response, press D.

7. Tab to the OK button, and press Enter.

Hi, David. I use Outlook 2013, which is pretty similar to Outlook 2010.

First, hit the Alt key; that takes you to the ribbons. Then type h,
which takes you to the Home tab. Then type c, if your intention is to
confirm acceptance of the appointment. After that, your client has
two options: To send the meeting acceptance without editing (by typing
the letter s), or to add a comment to the confirmation (by typing e
and then filling the edit box that pops up immediately thereafter.)

If your client wishes to decline a meeting invitation, following the
Alt followed by h, he or she can do this simply by tabbing to the
appropriate item in the Outlook menus and then hitting Enter once the
Decline button is reached. I'm not exactly sure how to specify a
decline upfront simply through a sequence of typed keys. But the
fields applying to confirming or declining an appointment are well
labeled for screen access in Outlook. So he or she shouldn't have a
problem after having navigated to the proper tab.

I’m sure experiencing even a Category 2 or 3 hurricane is a terrible experience, but there is no worse than a Cat 5 storm. When Irma was at its strongest over the ocean and before it made landfall in the carabians winds up to I think 302 Km/H were recorded.

By the time it hit Florida it had slowed to a Cat 4 and while the keys were hit hard, we all know that the damage around Tampa/St. Petersburg was a lot less than many feared.

 

Irma almost pales in comparison to Super Typhoon Haiyan which was also known as Yolanda in the Philippines. Property damage was less because people where this typhoon hit are poor and live in shacks, but the storm killed over 6,500 people and effected over 11 Million many of which didn’t even have the little they had before. That storm had 1-minute sustained speeds of 315 Km/H (195 MPH) and 10-minute sustained winds were measured at 230 Km/H.

 

Here is part of an article from the CBC science section:

Irma is currently listed as a Category 5 hurricane, but some articles circulating on the internet claim it could become the first to reach Category 6.

But those articles are fake.

How do we know? Because the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, which categorizes hurricanes' destructiveness based on their wind speeds, ranges from

1 to 5.

When a Category 5 storm hits, you can expect "catastrophic damage," according to a National Hurricane Center backgrounder. "Most of the area will be uninhabitable

for weeks or months," it says, as the winds will destroy many homes, collapsing roofs, walls, trees and power lines, causing power outages that last for

weeks or months.

But why is there no Category 6?

"Because once you say catastrophic and there's near complete damage, why do you need a 6?" says Dennis Feltgen, a spokesperson for the National Hurricane

Center.

Of course, it's not wind speed alone that makes hurricanes destructive. Hurricane Harvey was just a Category 4 when it hit the coast of Texas on Aug. 25,

but killed at least 60 people and left 560,000 families seeking housing assistance. Massive flooding from storm surges and more than a metre of rain

caused much of the destruction.

"We basically have a scale for storm surge … how many feet above ground level there would be inundation." says Feltgen.

But the different factors that make storms destructive are too variable to measure on a scale of wind speed, he said.

Hello fellow listerrs,

 

Hello fellow listerrs,

 

After surviving one of the strongest hurricane in history, tornado laden, earthquake called Irma. yes, Irma was worse than a category 5 hurricane at times her speed was unmeasurable. This storm actually registered on the Richter scale leaving massive and tragic destruction to solid concrete homes and people. I was blessed in that my home was not destroyed just some cosmetic damage occurred. I’m now living in Georgia because of medical reasons not being able to get medication on a timely basis. My family and I got out right before hurricane Maria of which completely flooded the island making matters even worse. Then to add even more insult to injury, rainy season has just started and the rain is coming down in buckets and with no trees mudslides are causing havoc.

I’ll say sometimes being blind is a good thing.

 

 
Re: Ripping a CD

Randy Barnett <randy@...>
 

Hi, did you get this figured out?
Brian: Yeah, like you said though it automaticly pops up with the artist info so I think even a beginner would just press next to accept the first option.
the WMP part of my instructions was for the mp3 tags so media players would have the correct artist and song info. Just changing the file names wont do this. but it has been so long since I messed with a actual CD things may have changed.
God! I remember when I first put over 200 CD's on my PC When I figured out I could do that. Back then artists didnt always come up correctly. Sometimes it would have 3 different artists for a CD and I would have to find one of the kids to tell me witch one it was! LOL

Well, I presumed complete beginner.   If the situation you describe is the case then my approach is always just to rip it first then do the cleanup on the files ripped afterward.   It's been a very long time since I last had to do this, but if memory serves, audio CDs that WMP cannot find media information for will end up under the "Various Artists" folder and get some sort of generic title like "Album 1".  I find it a grand PITA to try to do the track name creation in WMP so after I get to the folder for Various Artists I just rename the folder for the album I just ripped to something that makes sense to me, then I open that folder and go track by track and rename the individual files.  I find file explorer much easier to use for that task.

Others will, however, prefer to do it in WMP.   It's been so long since I've done that for any reason I can't even begin to describe the process.  I'd have to get a mix CD that someone made for me and try it again.

Re: Omnipage Ultimate, Windows 10 & JAWS

Yes, as a stand-alone.
It was my understanding that the Word plugin went away with V16...
(At any rate, all this is moot, since I downloaded Ultimate, and it behaves as its predecessor did...)

I also did not care for the level of accessibility of OmniPage 18 as a standalone application. However, I found that the Word plugin was very accessible, and this is how I primarily use OmniPage. Go to the Nuance tab on the ribbon UI and select Acquire Text. Works great for OCR.

Are you trying to use OmniPage as a standalone app?

Subject: Re: Jaws With A MacBook

Well, we’re getting pretty far off topic here. But I don’t see why you’d need multiple copies of Office. If you’ve already got it running on your Windows system, then just use it on your Windows system.

There are some tasks that non-Windows systems are better suited for. Setting up a web server, for example, is tons easier on a Mac or Linux machine than on a Windows system, in my experience. I find that the benefit of using the right computer for a project far outweighs the cost of learning different operating systems.

Your mileage may vary.
