Subject: Re: saving attachments in Thunderbird

ALT + M, H   will get you to the attachments "processing" menu for a message.

I have noticed that JAWS reads the number of options for this menu inaccurately, as it does for any menu with dividers used in it.  In any case, one can choose to save attachments one by one or use the option to save all attachments.  If one chooses the latter, they will all be saved in a single folder and then it's up to you to move things around afterward with File Explorer if you don't want them to be permanently stored in that single folder.

In Ourtlook for me it does almost the same, a say line also speaks the number of the message I am on, just now when I did a say line it read your message, sender, subject etc. and then at the end it said “13 of 15”.

The only difference with Jaws+Tab is that is says “List box” before it starts speaking your name, the subject and all that.

Hi,

JAWS+Tab just does effectively a Say Line for me.

All the best

Make sure your Window is maximized, I am using OUtlook 2016 and both Jaws Key+Tab and Jaws Key+Page Down work and say what they are supposed to say.

Thanks for your reply Steve.

Under Outlook 2013, all I get when pressing insert numpad page down is Jaws saying something about filter applied.  Pressing insert Tab does give the number of the current message as well as the total number of messages.  Maybe Outlook 13 works differently from version 16.

Hi,

Try reading the status bar, with JAWS Key+Page Down on the number pad.

Hi,

Using: Latest Jaws 2018, W10 Home 64 bit, Outlook 13

Is there a Jaws  command which will read  the current message number and or the total number of messages  being displayed in the Outlook 2013 inbox?

Thanks

Tom

hi, go to your desktop and hit the applications key.
then go into properties then tab over to device manager.
enter that tab once more hit "N" for network adaptors.
see what cards you have installed.
if you don't see "wi fi mini port adapter or something to do with dwxxx802.... depending on your computer." then try doing a "scan for hardware changes" that may bring up the missing devices.
goodluck

Well, it's not off-topic if you're trying to do it with JAWS.  JAWS is useless unless it's being used to do something else as it's whole reason for being.

Unfortunately, I no longer have any Windows 7 machines I have ready access to so I can't whip up a set of step-by-step instructions under the dialogs that get used in that version of Windows.

It's not complicated presuming that your WiFi itself is already configured, as all you'll do is select the WiFi network and enter the password and you're in.

If the WiFi is not configured, then things get significantly more complicated and whoever might be assisting you would need to know about what modem-router model you have in order to set up the WiFi itself.

I have found very few sites where it would not work.

Another thing you can do is start logging into a website.  When you get to the password field, assuming 1Password is not open already, go to the system tray and arrow down to 1Password. Hit enter.

You should be given the option to generate a password.

It generates it and puts it on the clipboard.

You could then manually create a login record in 1Password and include the new password.

Ideally I'd use iOS and Windows/Chrome.

Subject: OT: setting up wi-fi for laptop

Hi, I need to connect my Intel laptop running Windows 7 Professional with JAWS 17 to wi-fi here at home so I can email a document to get it printed. If someone can get back to me off-line, either by email or phone, so I can figure this out, that’d be great.  Shalom,

Tom,

 

Are you using your iPhone, Windows, or other?

I use it on my iPhone and also with Firefox and Chrome on Windows.

I’ll say a couple of things about using Windows, then I can add more once I’m sure what platform you are using.

 

I go to a new web page where I want to create a login.

I fill in a user name and password.  If I hit the Login button, it should invoke the mini version of 1Password.

If necessary, 1Password will ask you to enter the 1Password password.(Sorry for that strange statement)

It should ask if you want to save this login, and it will suggest a name for it.

You should then get a button that says Save or something similar to that.

 

Another way to invoke the mini 1Password on a website is control-alt-backslash.

 

To open sites I’ve already set up in 1Password, I go to the full program.

You can search for a site or arrow down through them.

Hitting enter on one should start the login process.

For thelife of me, I can’t figure out 1password.

Can somebody give a quick step by step overview?

I am trying to use the Chrome extension.

Once I fill out the username and password, I open the 1password menu from the toolbar, where I get a suggestion. For the sake of this example, I went to Applevis.com

I don’t know how to save this suggestion. When I’m looking at the 1password help, it says login first, then save your login from 1password, but I can’t find a save option there.

What am I doing wrong?

Given the features of 1password, I would like to make it work if possible, but not at the expense of running extra circles. I could just type it up on my iPhone but that defeats the purpose.

Thank you:

Tom

I will again recommend Password Safe, which is still 100% accessible, open source, and has both an Android and iOS clone named PasswdSafe.

It can generate passwords, do auto fill in, taking you straight to the website triggered from within Password Safe itself, and you can choose to use cloud storage for your encrypted password safe file if you wish to be able to have one master file that's accessed from multiple devices and always up-to-date on all of them.

And you can't beat free.

Hi,

Using: Jaws 2018, W10 Home  and latest Thunderbird

Can someone please explain how to save an attachment in Thunderbird?

For years I have used a Thunderbird add-on, attachment extractor, with great success but unfortunately the latest version of Tbird has broken the add-on so am now back to doing it manually.

The latest version of the add-on is dated around 2011 so it appears the author does not intend to upgrade it further.  This means that I need to learn how to do the deed the hard way. 

There is an attachment option under the Thunderbird “message” menu but not always is it available. If the message is closed then it is not available.  If the message with the attachment is open, the option is available but I can’t seem to get consistent results.

Any comments?

Thanks

Tom
