Doesn't that also work in Word?  I think I used it once or twice in 12.

Subject: RE: [Bulk] Tip for frequently visited web pages

The command to bring up the placemarker dialog is control+shift+k. to
locate the placemarker after it has been created, just press k. 

Recent versions of JAWS have made this feature especially helpful with
the "anchor to text" option. 

You begin by placing focus on the item you wish to mark. In my
experience, the placemarker stays constant only if I set it on a link.

When you bring up the placemarker dialogue, JAWS places you in a field
that is rarely helpful. Tab once to "Add" and press the spacebar. From
here, you tab through a few choices. For example, one asks if you wish
the placemarker to be anchored to the text where you have placed focus.
Press spacebar to accept. 

A less obvious decision must be made for the query whether you want the
placemarker to apply throughout the domain, or website. An example where
this is desirable is the "print" link found in many newspaper websites.
When I land on an article in a newspaper I visit regularly, I
immediately press the letter k to locate the print link, where I have a
placemarker that I've set to apply on every page in the website. 

But making the placemarker apply throughout the domain isn't always
desirable. If you have  more than two or three placemarkers on a page,
adding a gratuitous placemarker can defeat the purpose. For example, on
one website I regularly visit, there's a particular page from which I
like to link back to my accounts page. I set a placemarker for that
accounts link.
However, there's an accounts link on every page in that website, and I
don't use that link on other pages. So in this case, I ignored the
global domain option. 

Be sure to tab to the Okay button before closing the placemarker dialog.

Power Point 2007 and JAWS 13

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)

#7869

In light of yesterday's Power Point discussion, I was messing around
last night with a file I happened to have on hand, but could never read
for money marbles, or chalk.  I rotated views, shrank, and enlarged, and
finally, quite by accident, found a solution.  If I engaged the Office
ribbon menu, prior to invoking Say All, a slide would read perfectly.
Otherwise, it would go straight down to the bottom of the presentation,
and emit a string of dings (imagine a vibraphone player doing a drum
roll with his mallets), telling me it was hitting bottom over and over
again.  Does this sound as crazy to you guys as it does to me?

Subject: Is first-letter navigation in Start Menu a JAWS feature

I have a question. Is first-letter navigation within the start menu a JAWS feature or a Windows XP feature? In other words, if a person who is not using speech clicks on the start menu, can they use the letters to highlight the program or option they wish to access?

The reason I am asking is that I noticed something interesting. I use the program Spybot - Search & Destroy. It automatically created a start menu entry for me with that name. But I couldn't navigate to it using s or any other letter or symbol within the name.

What I discovered is that the & symbol was preventing first-letter navigation. When I renamed the start menu option Spybot - Search and Destroy, using the word and instead of the ampersand symbol, first-letter navigation was again possible.

Is this a JAWS bug or a Windows situation?

Thank you.

As for ripping, iTunes is the best. It does a much better job of correctly 
naming all the tracks with titles/authors, and lists them in exact track 
order. WMP never did this very well.

You would think bythis time all software companies wrote 64 bit
applications from scratch in sted of completely ignoring it or as most
companies did for a long time just change a few strings of code to
make it 64 bit compatible. I only use the default jaws voice, never
really tryed any other voices so I'll be fine.

In theory it should work exactly the same but you never know and I
