Ann,

            Are you asking about adding Alt Text for an image using Microsoft Word?  If so, it's a cinch, as it is under most HTML editors, too.

            If you're referring to something after the fact then it becomes significantly more complicated and murkier.

You could try reinstalling the driver.
The other thing to do is more envolved is to try spraying some electrical cleaner on the keyboard controls.
Just a thought.

Subject: volume control, can't switch it from my keyboard

Hey guys,

OK, this has happened before, but trying to figure out why. Every once in a while with windows 10, i can't seem to change my volume with my keyboard. Ya know how a lot of keyboards have controls across the top. Most of the time it works, but every once in a while it just stops, but yet i can type just fine and all that. It's really annoying cause i'll turn the volume up and down a bit. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hi,  It’s a very handy feature when working.  Mine has failed the last 2 days.  Anyone else? 

Using the latest JAWS 2019 and Windows 10.  Thanks, Mitch

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.

or you can put it in your startup group so every
time your computer re-boots it will unmute the sound.

Hi,

Alternatively this program can allow you to
just press enter on a file and have all volume unmuted.

hope either of these methods help.

the version of nircmd.exe for your os be it a
32bit system or a 64bit system and place it in
your c:\windows\system32 folder and then
create a shortcut using this program with the
target looking something like this:

c:\windows\system32\nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 2

the last perameter of 2 is a toggle that will
mute and unmute every other time you execute
the shortcut. you can assign a keystroke to
the short by right clicking on the shortcut
created and tab to the shortcut key and assign
one. I assigned shift plus alt plus v. hope
this is clear enough and if someone else can explain it better please do so.


now the link to the web page to download the
program. O' it is a free utility.

Hey guys,

OK, just had a major problem.  I have no idea how i did it.
Fortunately someone was able to help me out of it, but i muted my
system volume.  Curious, when this happens, what is the keystroke to
hit with the latest jaws to unmute everything?

Thanks,
Jed

Thank you for your responses. The draft view works but I’m wondering now whether there’s a way to make it the default view in Word? Again I haven’t been able to locate it in the Word Options settings.

Hello, 

It sounds like you were in a multiple page view. You could press Alt + w. Then numeral 1 to switch to a 1 page view.

Hi, Richard. Alt plus W followed by E sets the document for Draft View. ALT plus W, followed by L sets the document for Web Layout View.

I know alt+w opens the View menu.

What is the letter e supposed to do?

_{On my Word 2016, there is an item called Page Movement, but the hot key letter is c.}

Hi,

 

When the Word Document is open, hit alt +w and then e. This will allow scrolling page to page without skipping.

Hi there,

 

I’ve just joined this group about 15 minutes ago so my apologies if this topic has been addressed before.

 

I’m using Windows 10 with Jaws 18 and am subscribed to Office 365. When I scroll through documents, I find that pages are skipped over – e.g I can end up on page 4 when I get to the end of page 1 using the down arrow. I’ve gone through the options in settings but haven’t found a solution yet.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Cheers

Zel

Hi Debbie,

Use a content management system, such as WordPress.  It does all the heavy lifting for you.

Shankar,

        You're correct, and Sieghard Weitzel gave what is acknowledged as "the correct answer:"

                        https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/message/67853

If you've deleted a topic from your inbox you can always search the group archive, https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/topics, and since this one is so recent the actual topic itself is still showing up on the first page of the archive.  You can use the regular browser/screen reader search function and find it if you search for "new bug".
