Sharon Ballantyne
Hi, I can’t find any schedule delivery under options. How do I schedule a delayed delivery for email message I create using Microsoft Office 365? I am running the latest Jaws 2020 and Windows 10?
Thank-you for any advice. Sharon Ballantyne

Hi,
I just got Twitter the other day, & downloaded the windows app.
It seems accessible, but doesn’t appear to have very good keyboard shortcuts.
Can anyone tell me the best way to use Twitter with jaws?
It’d be nice if whatever apps are mentioned are free, & offer notifications.
Thanks,
Jessica

I do know that headings are displayed in bookshare books.

The find command is also very useful. By tabbing you can find your position in the text, so you can kind of tell of you've skipped quite a bit and get back fairly easily. I use it for all kinds of books--reference, textbooks, etc. Sharon

It should gave the option to opbe the Twitter website with a
authurize button. Once you press that their should be a 4 digit
pin.

Looking For Jim Weiss
Robbie Curtis
Hey All,
A week or so ago I had a question about VmWare and function keys and got a reply from Jim Weiss. I still have a question or two for him but due to technical difficulties I lost his email address. So Jim if you see this, please reply so that we can take this offline. Or, if anyone on this list has his address, please reply. Thanks.

I just found it. It's asking me for a pin, but I haven't received one. What should I do? My options are ok and cancel. Will the app notify me of new tweets? Thanks, Jessica

Re: Finding a File Using JAWS

You can also hit alt-enter on the file to open a properties dialogue box and see it’s path near the top of the window. Unfortunately if the path is too long I think it will be truncated.

Dear Listers:
I currently am running the latest version of Windows and am also using the latest version of JAWS. If you download something without designating a path, how do you go about finding out what folder your download is in? I know that you search for something by opening up the Search box by pressing the Alt key, but although this finds the file you are looking for it doesn’t tell you what folder that file is in.

Hi, Rick. I agree with Brian about the convenience of Everything Search, and I have it on my machines, and use it.
Before I had Everything Search, here's what I did to find file location.
1. Perform the search to find the desired file. 2. Press SHIFT F10 to bring up the context menu. 3. Arrow up to find Open File Location, and press ENTER. 4. Once the file location is open, press JAWS key plus T to read the title bar. This will speak the folder you have currently opened, which is the file location.

Re: Finding a File Using JAWS
Rick,
If you find yourself wanting to find files, by name, and then opening the folder they're in, I strongly suggest that you download the Everything Search from voidtools.com. It's footprint is tiny but it is so much easier to use than Windows Search if what you generally search for is files by file name (or even if you only do this occasionally, but have many you need to find). Once you are on the file of interest, it's folder is shown, but even easier is that you can bring up the context menu, choose Open Path, and File Explorer will open the folder with that file already selected. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

The easiest way is to find a pdf document among your documents. Arrow to

that document, but don't open it. 1. Press ALT plus ENTER for Properties. 2. Press SHIFT plus TAB once to get to the "Change" button, and press ENTER. 3. Press SHIFT plus TAB again to get to the list of apps you can associate with PDF files. 4. Choose Microsoft Word from the list of apps. 5. TAB to the "Apply" button, and press ENTER. 6. Tab to the "OK" button, and press ENTER. That's it. You have changed your default pdf reader to Microsoft Word. Bill White billwhite92701@dslextreme.com
