Re: "Fast Startup" sound akin to Startup Sound, could we get one?
Alan Robbins <alan1057@...>
Agreed, if using a traditional mechanical drive. However, if one is using the new solid-state drive the increased time saved is not worth any possible inconvenience. I keep this turned off and all my solid-state drive computers and see virtually no difference in time whether it is enabled or not.

Re: What backup software can we use with jaws?
Jeremy <jeremy.richards7@...>
The problem with resetting windows is having to spend another few days rebuilding your computer to the useful state before the disaster. Using RollBackRX you're literally up and going within 3 minutes--depending on your computer hardware of course. I do agree that a reset or refresh is much better than what we had in prior versions of Windows.

I disagree. Fast Startup is a very useful time-saving feature of Windows. I use it on all my computers, and I’ve never experienced corruption.

If so what is the menu list as Jaws doesn’t read it to me and I cannot cursor up or down on that list.

Excel problem One issue we have encountered recently is with Editing text in Excel. This has generated some helpful discussion and testing by users of GitHub, and the NVDA e-mail group. For some Excel users, when pressing F2 to edit a cell, NVDA announces "Unknown". It then won't read any text in that cell. This seems to have started after a recent update from Microsoft. The workaround that seems to fix the issue for most users, is to uncheck "Allow editing directly in cells". Not everyone is experiencing this, but if you are, you can change this setting by doing the following: 1. Have Excel open. 2. Press "alt+f" to open the file menu then press "t" for the options. 3. Press "control+tab" until the focus is on the "Advanced" options page. 4. Press "alt+e" to toggle the "Allow editing directly in cells" option. Ensure that this is unchecked. 5. Press "enter" to save the changes. Editing cell contents should now work again. Note that in turning this setting off, does change things slightly for visual users: . With editing directly in cells enabled, when F2 is pressed, the caret appears in the cell itself. Text which would flow out of the cell flows to the right, then to lines below. Cells covered by this text are hidden while this happens. Text in the edited cell is coloured to highlight cell references and parenthesis. . With editing directly in cells disabled, when F2 is pressed, the caret appears in the formula bar above the worksheet. Colouring of formula elements is also done in the formula bar rather than the cell while editing. Only text which fits in the cell is visible in the cell while the formula is being edited.

I have discovered that if I type 8 characters or less, I can press F2 and arrow through the letters and make my edits. If the cell contains a word or words with more than 8 characters, and if I press F2, JAWS cannot read the text inside the cell. It appears it's the number of characters in a cell that trips up JAWS. Hmm, for whatever reason it seems as though VFO is struggling to fix this problem since it has existed for quite a bit of time and different versions of JAWS. JR

Re: Excel reading problem on Surface tablet
Jeremy <jeremy.richards7@...>
Hi tom,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Since this Surface Pro is a new computer, are you certain it is on desktop mode and not tablet mode? To check try this... 1. use the Start menu search box to look for the following: Tablet mode settings 2. After opening tablet mode settings, the following is the very first item you should land on: When I sign in Combo box: Use X mode Note: X stands for the various options in this combo box. I should note that when I first purchased my Windows 10 tablet, it was originally set to Tablet mode, and I had to use the arrow keys to change this setting so my tablet would behave more like a desktop than a tablet. I also want to add that on these lists individuals quickly throw around the idea of performing a JAWS repair, but this isn't always necessary. In many cases, users make lots of customizations to JAWS, and when a JAWS repair is performed, these customizations are undone, which means setting up JAWS once again--this takes time and effort. :) Please let me know if my suggestion above helped in any way, and we'll take it from there. :) JR

The email that was found using this method shows at the bottom of the dialogue box. However, I was unable to access it using the keyboard. Pressing Tab key took me back to the top of the dialogue box but not to the email that was found. The email, however, can be accessed by clicking on it. Can anyone help me on how I can access it using Keyboard? Thanks!
