Re: Setting JAWS not to say misspelled
Steve Matzura
It's not JAWS saying misspelled, it's Chrome. Turn off automatic
spell-checking. I don't know where that's done because I'm not a
Chrome user, but it's in settings or options somewhere.

Setting JAWS not to say misspelled
Gezim Rexha
Hi List,
While posting on Facebook yesterday, I got annoyed by JAWS saying ‘misspelled’ for every single word, so that I could not check my text before posting it. Of course, the reason was that my text was in Albanian, not in English, but I wonder if I can set JAWS not to say ‘misspelled’?
I am using latest JAWS, in this case with Google Chrome.
Best wishes, Gezim

Re: creating short cut on desk top
Ashleigh Piccinino
I don’t have aany ideas, but you can pin it to your start menu. Then, the next time you need to get to this app, you can just go to your pinned tiles--, tab once until you get into them (first thing might be “life at a glance”) and find it. Unfortunately, you can’t use first-letter navigation here, though. Hope this helps. Of course, the “pin to start” is one of the options in your context menue/usually the first, if I’m not mistaken.

Re: JAWS 18 and the latest Office365?
James Homuth
Kelly,
I've read a lot about what you're describing, and it wasn't actually anything all that underhanded. A very small percentage of users lost access to their documents because of a bug that was found and fixed a few days later. Those users' access was restored. Also, there's a difference in subscribing to a documentation platform (IE: Google Docs) and subscribing to a licensing scheme for a documentation suite (IE: Microsoft Office). With the latter, Microsoft doesn't host anything--unless you throw your documents into OneDrive, and even if you let your license lapse you'll still be able to read them. It's no different than if your computer came with the trial version of Office 2016 and you decided not to buy a copy, however you do it.

Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
Why would you loose access to Word if you install Office 2016 via an Office 365 subscription and save your documents on your local hard drive? Subscriptions are the way things go and since I would otherwise pay for 1 TB of Dropbox storage I think the Office 365 subscription which includes 1 Tb of OneDrive storage is a heck of a deal. Also, $99 a year allows up to 5 family members (or good friends if you wish) to install Office and each person gets 1 Tb of storage as well as 60 Skype minutes for those who use them.

JAWS 18 forgetting its place in Google Chrome?
James Homuth
Hey, folks. I do an aweful lot of work in several different web browsers, and the only one I notice this issue with is Google Chrome. What happens is JAWS 18 will forget where I left off if I have to leave the window for any reason. I don't see this issue in Firefox/IE. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a painless way to resolve it? I can use place markers, so if there's no fix it's not a major dealbreaker. Just slightly annoying. Thanks for help, if there is any.

Re: JAWS 18 and the latest Office365?
Dan Longmore
I turned off the “Start Screen” and “Back Stage View” as mentioned in Richard’s post. Also, I disabled the “Reading” pane in Word. I found that turning off the “Preview pane in Outlook was also helpful and disabling “groups” in the People section improved JAWS. Sometimes you just have to play with the settings to see what will and will not work. Trouble is that both JAWS and Office 2016 (Office 365) do numerous updates and what now works good may not with next update but the above settings usually remain unchanged with updates. There has been one time however when setting needed fixed after a Office update. Dan Ps I do not use Office calendar but there are JAWS glitches if certain settings are not changed.

Yes. I would call the Microsoft Disability Services number.

The reason I recommend this is that they have a microsoft tool which will remove the offending file. It is something like proxywow or something like that. They had to do the same with mine, and the repair would not proceed until this was done.
