Anyone figured out how to use chat in Webex?  JAWS will read some of the chats as they come in, but I cannot figure out how to get to that area and/or type a message.  I’m using Google Chrome to access meetings and JAWS 2020.

For this JAWS list, I have a rule that puts all the messages in one folder when received, arranged with newest at the top.  I then have the columns organized so that subject is the first item JAWS reads, after the read/unread icon. Then, I have Conversations turned on.  This puts all JAWS list messages of a single subject into  one collapsible item.  If  you use this view, you also need to go into Outlook options and look for the setting under Accessibility  for keyboard navigation and tell outlook not to automatically expand conversations as you arrow past them.  I still find that this can happen, especially when I first come to this folder, but it’s not bad.   I thought JAWS used to consistently tell me if a conversation was expanded or collapsed, but I’m not hearing it right now and not sure if that is a JAWS change or something I accidentally tweaked.  Nonetheless, you can tell it’s a conversation header item If you hear multiple names after a subject line, as it will read the names of those who have contributed to that thread.  If you are on the  top item in this conversation, hitting delete will delete all the messages in that thread. I get a warning that I’m doing that.   If the conversation is expanded, hitting delete on any of the message will delete just that message.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas of things you can do.  I’m headed into meetings for the rest of the day, so I don’t’ have time to elaborate more.

It’s a poor musician who blames their instrument.  LOL. 

IN Outlook 2016, with a message wit the subject line highlighted, applications key then I for ignore to delete the conversation. Also, if it’s regarding a thread via Groups.IO, there’s always the mute option if you have an account which is easy enough to create.

Control plus the delete key also works.

I can’t remember who posted this alternative method, but it’s what I’ve been using for a while.

Press the applications key. Release.

Press f. Release.

JAWS verbalizes, “Messages in this conversation.” Press enter.

Shift-tab to land in this list of messages.

Control-a for select all.

Delete key.

To return to the original message list, press escape, then alt-tab, release, alt-tab a second time.

A little burdensome? Yes, but it becomes automatic.

Oops! I *did mean *Conversation, *not Subject.

For some reason, even with lots of noodling, I can’t get the view I had. Dern cumputers!

Mitch, press alt-h, then 8, then enter. It’s a toggle.

This is why moderators are reminding their group members to change the subject line if it has not been change and does not match the body of the subject line.  One does not want to throw the baby out with the bath water? 

A much more efficient way to delete items not of interest is to group by subject. I had this set, but some gremlin has undone it, and I can’t get it back.

Any Outlook hot-shot wonky wizards there to help?

Hi,  With Word 16, what is the keystroke to toggle space and paragraph markers on and off?

Thanks again.  Mitch

Hi.

Thanks for letting me know where to find the DVS track, that is, if the DVD has one. The one I hoped would have it only has English and French. Oh well, I have another one to try.

Hi, all, for example, there are messages in my in box that the subject line begins, might be interest stop control panel...  how can I delete all those messages at once? I am running windows ten, jaws 2020, and outlook 2019. Thanks for your help. Jim

Hi,

This requires support for modern input facility from JAWS (made more complicated as the executable responsible for displaying emoji panel has been renamed in Windows 10 May 2020 Update). I know that recent JAWS 2020 updates support emoji panel and reading emojis to some degree, but I agree that it is not quite up to the par as in Narrator ()and another one; talk to me privately).

Cheers,

Joseph

Well, this works with Narrator, but not with Jaws 2020.
