Van Lant, Robin
Thanks, Patrick. To use my Windows laptop, will I need to download something or will it just work in Google Chrome?

I normally use excel for a glossary of terms. As I am a university student, numerous terms that I have to deal with are new to me. Therefore, I have an excel work sheet divided into four columns. In the first Colum, I have a word that requires a definition, in the second Columb I have the type of word i.e. verb, noun, adjective, or adverb; then, in the third Columb I have the definition, and finally, in the 4th Columb I have an example of the word applied in a sentence. I have often observed that when I am using f2 for a cell within the first column, I can comfortably use my left and right arrows to check the spelling of a particular word. However, if I go to my third or fourth Columb, which constitutes of multiple words, I am unable to use jaws to navigate within the cell. This is really strange, and I have not found a solution to this problem. I have also tried the suggestion mentioned below with regards to unchecking the 'allow editing directly in cells' box, but it seems to be unsuccessful on my end. If someone has a solution of this, I, likewise, will be very grateful. Below are the specs of my computer: Lenovo ThinkPad laptop with windows 10 running on it. Jaws version 18.

Amen to that. One would think we'd get better performance by now, but, so it goes.

Which part of Office 365 are you experiencing more crashes? I primarily use Outlook and Word, and some Excel, and have noticed some crashes, but I'm not sure it is more than with 2020. It seems to be triggered mostly in Outlook on some emails that have lots of links I think, though it is hard to track down.

Re: Beta

I've been using the beta pretty much all the time since the end of September and I've not had any real issues.

I sent something into the beta feedback, but now don't recall exactly what that was, so it must not have been huge. I'm hoping FS gets their web site troubles sorted out and we get another beta before they decide to release the full version. At least, I assume the hold-up is the web site problems.

Is Google Meet easier on Windows or iPhone?
Van Lant, Robin
My daughter’s teacher wants to try using Google Meets for her parent-teacher conferences. Anyone have advice on whether this is easier to use on Windows with JAWS or on my iphone? I don’t have any Google apps on my phone and don’t know if I would need to install one. I do have Google Chrome installed on my Windows 10 laptop

Re: podcast apps
Hi, there are a few buttons that aren’t labeled but if you’ll use the tab key you’ll find the search field to search for podcast. Type in the name and hit enter. Give it a few seconds and use tab to locate the results. Hit enter on the podcast, then with tab key once more you’ll find a subscribe button. After that again using tab, you should find a list of episodes. Enter on the episode. If it doesn’t start playing right away, tab till you find the play button. Just ignore the buttons that aren’t labeled. HTH, StanB

Addison, I just realized it’s actually Control shift period for increasing font size. Likewise, it’s control shift , for decreasing it.

Hi there Thanks Addison
From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Van Lant, Robin via groups.io
Addison, There are several ways. On the fly, I like to select the text I want to adjust then hit control period. You’ll hear JAWS announce the font size in increments each time you hit that key combination. You can also hit Control D to open a font dialog box to adjust all sorts of aspects or type in a font size.
