no. he just wants to prevent accidental potential disasters from

happening when he leaves the computer running for a while unattended, in case something bumps a few keys, curious home members, etc. does anyone know if this message actually displays on the screen when a key is pressed after the keyboard is locked? I'm thinking it isn't.

Re: Notepad++ and Jaws
Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
I think you are right about the verbosity setting. And, strangely enough, Jaws stopped speaking the status bar after each letter and I did nothing to change any settings. Must have been gremlins.
I will say that when I check the status line with insert+page-down, it reads very confusingly. I wrote two words which took 10 characters and when I checked the status line manually it said: Normal text file length : 10 lines : 1 Ln : 1 Col : 11 Sel : 0 | 0 Windows (CR LF) UTF-8 INS If you ignore the words “text fie length” it makes sense. I think I might try the trick of doing a dictionary entry that blanks out those words. Otherwise, this seems pretty good for editing the html files I have already created, which is what I do mostly now.
Thanks, Richard

Yes, I’m not sure how to access it, but I read in the FAQ section that there’s a “more” button, that you must push, to download an episode.
Can you please tell me where this button is, and how to access it with Jaws?

Hi,
I’m sorry if this is off topic for this list, but I don’t know of any list I’m on, where I could ask this.
I found an app for podcasts, called Pocketcasts, which works quite nicely with jaws2019.
My question is, can you download stuff from a web app?
Can I download episodes, like I can with the ios app? Any info on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jessica

Re: need help unmuting volume
ratshtron
this is true, but a shortcut must be created for
the program and then you need to change the last parameter to a 0 to unmute the sound. as I mentioned earlier, you can assign a keystroke to the shortcut so you can activate the shortcut on the fly. the last parameter works this way, 1 mutes, 2 makes the shortcut a toggle, and 0 unmutes the sound. so the target field has to be edited to look like this once the program is placed in the c:\windows\system32 folder c:\windows\system32\nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0 you can then move the shortcut to the startup folder.

Alternatively this program can allow you to just press enter on a file and have all volume unmuted. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/sound_volume_view.html hope either of these methods help.

Re: Creating Column and Row Headers in XL
Mark Fisher
Hi - notwithstanding the crrent ways for naming rows and columns in JAWS, I am a great user of the Excel Tables feature (Ctrl+T) to create a table. I think it would be useful if JAWS would recognize a Table and automatifcally read row and column headings (although I know there would be cases where you may not want this all the time) without having to create a range name. I find that sometimes that JAWS can get confused when you have tables and those range names in place.
