hello;
your absolutely right, it is a slash, this is what I used, for some reason I
typed in a backslash in the message.
my bad.


       Statistics are like a bikini.  What they reveal is suggestive, but
what they conceal is vital.

Perfect, thanks. I found it. I was looking for both options, actually. I had been looking through the ribbons and not seeing them, but found them by using alt F followed by T.

It should be in Office 2013 as Bill said, but are you talking about Backstage or Start Screen? The backstage comes into play during saving and opeing files and you can turn on "Do Not use Backstage" under Options > Save, once you are in the save tab you can try Alt+
S.
The start screen is that initial screen which comes uop when you first open Excel or Word where you have to press escape to get rid of it. This is in Options > General and in Office 2016 it's the last option before the OK button, so you can get to it quicker if you Shift Tab 3 times or you can try Alt+H.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Bill,

The reason I asked was because I was trying to find an option like this and couldn't find it.

Hi, Pamela. You should be able to do this with Office 2013 as well. I was only saying that you don't need to do it with every program on your PC, only Office.

Do you know if there is a way to get rid of the backstage view in Word 2013?

Thanks,

Richard, does disabling the start screen and backstage have to be changed for each program, or once done in one program, the changes are applied to which ever program is used?

I recommend a couple tweeks with Office 365:

In the File menu, Options, on the general tab, tab until you get to "Show the start screen when this application starts" and uncheck it.

Then, go down to the save options which is about 4 below the general tab and make sure that "Don't show the backstage when opening or saving files" is checked.

This is the same in Word and Excel. I almost never use PowerPoint, but I suspect those settings might be there as well.

There are lots of other things you can tweek but those are more personal preference things, but the Start Screen and Backstage settings will make your experience much smoother in my very biased opinion.

So I haven't touched Office since 2003, and am going to need to change that. What I'm wondering is if I'll have problems using latest JAWS version 18 with the current Office version available as a subscription.
Any settings I should change to avoid giving me a headache?

Yeah that'd be less than ideal. I'm in and out of all 3 browsers regularly
(IE, FF and Chrome) when at work. Thanks, though. Current Chrome,
semi-current IE and not quite there FF it is until my geek payday.

the back slash type repair, I think, should be a slash type repair.

Hi Debbie

Thanks for writing. I am afraid Status Cells are turned off, but thanks
for the suggestion.

I bought the Brailliant B64 8 years ago. I wanted a B40 but it would
have taken 10 weeks to arrive, so bought the B64 instead. I really like
it.

Depending on how much browsing you do you can always download the latest update of Jaws 2018 and use it in demo mode with Firefox 60, it runs for 40 minutes at a time which is actually quite a bit of time.

They should apply to the entire Office Suite, as in the case where, if you change where Word stores document files, it also changes where Notepad text files are stored.

yes, I understand that. let me try to clarify my inquiry...

if the settings are changed while using Word, do the changes only apply
to when Word is used or do the changes also apply to when the other
programs of that version of Office is also used?

Hi Bill,

Bill,

         Bravo!   Very nice and very clear step-by-step outline.

         Yours is a more step-by-step rewriting of what I offered in Adding Desktop Shortcuts Under Windows 10, that I offered previously and apparently went unread by most.

I believe 2018 is tuned to work with FF 60 well. 18 or earlier isn't
going to cut it.
