Re: The List Brian Vogel #71515 Cristobal, As so many owner martinets do! However, it appears that someone promptly created a group here on Groups.io that is the stub of a replacement. I am mentioning this only because of this topic, which I believe is legitimate to discuss here: Jaws Help Website If there's a way to get at the help content historically available, regardless of where it is, that's worth sharing in my opinion, even on a "competing list" like this one. And I really don't consider the lists in competition in any meaningful sense. I'd love to see "blind technology" traffic become less fragmented, not more, though there is definite room for separate lists for things like JAWS, NVDA, Narrator, etc. I still, for myself, would prefer a grand, unified "screen reader and blind technology" group myself, as there is a lot of information on each of these that are completely applicable or easily translatable to the others. But history often dictates structure, and it sure does at the moment. With list management software like Groups.io has, each user can easily tailor their own experience even on high-traffic groups if they wish to do so. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner. ~ Eric Hoffer

Re: The List Cristóbal #71514 I’m sure David would say that since it was his list, he could do whatever he wanted etc. etc.… Still though, seems like a bunch of weak sauce to just abruptly pull the plug on it like that. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Aug 21, 2019, at 1:43 PM, Brian Vogel <britechguy@...> wrote: JM, My central point being, if you want to walk away from list ownership, that's fine.

Re: JAWS guide for MS Word? Brian Vogel #71502 Always search the Freedom Scientific site. There are generally, and definitely are in this case, webinars and other documentation. I just searched using the two keywords JAWS and Word in the search box and there's lots of material there, you just need to sift through and look at what's relevant to you. Free MS-Word with JAWS Webinar Free Improving JAWS Skills in Word Webinar There are downloadable documents associated with these, and they're only two things I found on the first page of search results at the FS site. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner. ~ Eric Hoffer
