Hi Pam it’s just the one that pays the subscription so everything is sent under her name. But no it doesn’t allow anyone access to anything it just gives you full access as a licensed user to the office suite that’s it nothing else. And it’s just temporary just let you know if you want to switch if that’s your issue or not. After a few days I’ll disable it. As we use the family plan with Pam gets her subscription and then we have five other ones we can share. And we don’t use all of them so that’s why I can offer you one temporarily.

Hello list-members:
Although I have been a JAWS user since 1989, (both in the workplace and at home), I’ve not ventured very far from the standard uses of JAWS beyond familiar applications. At present, I am involved in some ESL tutoring here in the Twin Cities. Not surprisingly, a lot of visual props are used in various lessons to further assist in learning new vocabulary. What I would like to do is create a worksheet that includes vocabulary words, or sentences where the word is used and in some instances include a picture next to or below the word or sentence: not sure about formatting here.) There are a number of websites that offer a diversity of photos/images that can be used in the area of literacy instruction. I am reaching out to persons on this list that can provide direction in combining text an pictures in creating a worksheet. I would guess it’s a matter of copying the photo into the Word file that contains the electronic worksheet. Also, as is sometimes the case, is this the kind of process where some sighted help is recommended to make sure that everything is aligned properly?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Best to all of you, Justin

Re: more Jaws problems from my list...
David & his pack of dogs <myguidedogis@...>
Funny you mentioned that. Because for the sighted my JAWS reads too fast for them to understand it. The VIP or blind, it is too slow. The thing is, I live with 2 sighted people and to listen to JAWS at a high speed then listening to them is like driving a racing car around a track then it slams into 30 Mph(50 Kms) to much for my meager brain to take.

For any power user of a computer who needs and wants to work fast and requires the most responsiveness there is little which beat Eloquence. Maybe some hardware synthesizers are equal to Eloquence in speed and responsiveness, but Eloquence has achieved this while also adding better speech quality. Is it human sounding? Absolutely not, but the problem is that the more human sounding a synthesizer is the less pleasant is it to listen to it at high speed. Alexa, the Google Home voice as well as SIRI along with several of the high-end voices from Vocalizer, Neospeech and other companies sound great, but they only do so at normal human speaking speed.

Question On Outlook Message Deletion
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
Occasionally, I will copy myself on an Outlook e-mail message, because the message is very important, and I want to be sure it has been sent.
Recently, I have noticed that if I delete the received message copy from my inbox, it is also deleted from my sent file.
Is there a way I can configure Outlook so that the message remains in my sent file, even though it has been deleted from my inbox?
I’m using the Office 365 version of Outlook 2016 with Windows 10 and the latest build of Jaws 2019.
Thank you!

It was just a test to eliminate an

If you have reinstalled everything,
eliminated the triple talk and did a repair of jaws 2019. Checked
all video sound and chip set drivers then at this point you can
go back to 2018 or call FS. There isn't any reason for the issues
you are having.
of course you could just dump MS office
and go with another office suite and e-mail client. I don't know
why people put up with all these issues when there are
alternatives out there.

Re: JAWS Update, J2019.1904.60 Download Link + What's New
Dave Durber
Hello Sieghard:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I have 3 computers which have their full capacity RAM installed, that is, 8 GB. Although I seldom have more than two or three programs, in addition to JAWS, open at the same time, the most system intensive program I use, is GoldWave. In order to avoid messages, telling me that I do not have enough available memory to perform functions, I set a custom size page file to two and a half times 8 GB (20480). Since I did that, I do not get any more error messages. In fact, my systems are running more efficiently than before. I have seen messages, that having a custom size page file, will slow down my computers but, if there is a depreciation in the speed of any of my computers, it is so slight, it has minimal effect in the performance of the systems.

To download the latest release, visit the Downloads web page. You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software. Improved Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row For years, users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to move to specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1 headings, 2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on. However, this type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings equal or lower than the level you were trying to move by. For example, if you attempted to move to a level 3 heading, but the very next heading was a level 2, JAWS would announce: "No more headings at level 3 in this section," and would not move past the level 2 heading. Beginning with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading level on a page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading, the immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that the new heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt to move to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2 heading, JAWS will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the level 3 heading so you know you have moved into a new section. You can also choose to have JAWS play a sound to indicate when you move into a new section or you can switch back to the prior behavior which restricted heading navigation to the current section. To configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6, open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into the Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option, and then use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively, open Quick Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the "Heading Navigation" setting. Support for MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word Documents You can now use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word documents created using the MathType software from Design Science. To use this feature, you must do the following: * Make sure you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along with Microsoft Word from Office 365. * Install MathType from Wiris.com and activate the software as a trial or actual license. * In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver for Screen Capture" check box is selected. When you encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the problem and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the equation in greater detail. Once the Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an equation like variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you navigate to the various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW. Pressing UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if you have a Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or Unified English Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula will be displayed in Nemeth Braille.

Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application Version 8.42 or Higher In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are only available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in the Skype for Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the Skype for Business app. To answer an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW. To disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN ARROW. To move focus directly into the Skype window, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y followed by S. Other Changes * When performing the monthly updates of JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion, the shortcut keystroke on the Desktop Icon used to launch the application, will no longer be removed during the update process. * JAWS now offers localizations for Swedish and Italian when performing a full install. * In the Amazon Kindle app, JAWS and Fusion now supports reading and navigating inside tables. * Resolved an issue where you could not use the keyboard to interact with the controls in the Display Options dialog box in the Amazon Kindle app. * If Track Changes is turned on in a Word document, you can now use INSERT+SHIFT+R to list revisions in footnotes, endnotes, and comments in addition to the main document. Note that this command only lists revisions in the currently active pane. For example, pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the Document pane will list revisions in the main document while pressing this keystroke from within a footnote will only list revisions found in footnotes. * If a word document contained more than 150 revisions, resolved an issue where the number of revisions was not being reported correctly when using INSERT+SHIFT+R. * The "Document and Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded" option in Settings Center is now enabled by default in PowerPoint. When you start a presentation and move to the next or previous slide, JAWS automatically begins reading the current slide. * In Excel, JAWS and Fusion now indicates in both speech and Braille if a cell contains a data type. * Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+E was not announcing the default button in a Chrome dialog box. * Addressed a reported issue where the aria-required attribute was not being indicated as expected in Internet Explorer while navigating with the Virtual Cursor. * Addressed reported issues where JAWS and Fusion was not consistently reading elements that use the aria-describedby" or title attributes while tabbing through a page. * If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document and you press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW keys to move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or bottom of the current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end of the table. * For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a Selector button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS will speak as you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is off by default for both NAV Rockers. * Added additional information to installer error messages such as when you include an invalid language code when using the /language command line argument. * You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to display a list of JAWS keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the action you want to perform and press ENTER. * The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has been added to the Run JAWS Settings page of the Startup Wizard. * When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) app, JAWS now includes the name and type of the current window on the braille display to make it easier for Braille users to know when a new window opens. * In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading chat messages as well as removed extra speech that was heard when attempting to join a meeting. * Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho Doc, Nuance Power PDF, and Nuance Power PDF once these products are released by Nuance. * Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote sites using SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet. * Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from Microsoft. * Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it will no longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default until a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product Search lookup source has also been removed due to ongoing issues which we are continuing to investigate. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers! I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
