Re: does a link leave a site?
Mario
maybe I don't understand the question, but if Mark types in an address like for example altavista.com and presses enter, it will eventually redirect to https://search.yahoo.com/?fr=altavista.

I interpret Marks's question as, is there a way to know when an address to a website will be redirected, before it actually is redirected?

Re: Pivot tables anyone?
Hi Kandace,

An Excel pivot table is a database function where Excel takes rows of detailed data and presents it in a summarized format based on your specification. I'm not sure how accessible the summarized table is. I haven't done anything with pivot tables in many years and I still had sight when I last used them. The below website seems to have a good discussion of pivot tables with many examples and I hope you find it useful: https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-create-pivot-table-tutorial-ht Alan Lemly

Re: A website question which may involve Jaws focus

Adrian,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You are entirely correct that the issues I was experiencing had nothing to do with focus; I was confused about maintaining focus with ribbons, and thought that that might help me out. The issue is within the calendar section of the scheduling program which I am using, and it is a strange one. I switched to the Brave browser and now the program works correctly for the week of November 8-14, but not for the previous week--as I mentioned, very strange. Thank you to you and to all others who helped with suggestions. Greg

Hi CathyAnne,
After scrounging around in my note taker notes, I realized that I was confusing my question to you with the keystroke which controls focusing on the ribbons.
I have tried the Brave browser and FireFox with better success than with Chrome. I haven’t yet tried using NVDA; sometimes a different screen reader helps with accessing a difficult screen.
Thank you for getting back to me.

Why would you even need more than one desktop?- I don't use them, either, but it's just another organization option. As Mike McGlashon has mentioned, many people use a separate virtual desktop to create a "cyber world" related to a specific sphere they want one for, and generally where multiple programs are actively involved in each sphere. It's sort of like "browser windows and tabs on steroids" in a way. We can create as many browser tabs as we want in a given browser instance, and even separate browser instances, each in their own window, that has multiple tabs open. I know of people who have either a separate browser window, or sometimes who use different browsers, and use each for a specific purpose. I keep four browsers open at once, and have separate e-mail addresses open in webmail in each, and it's the same webmail in a specific browser all the time, so when I want to check certain accounts I know to look in a specific browser, and always to the tab I keep leftmost/first in the collection of open tabs. It's all a method to cyber organize so that you can keep things together that you want together and separate that you want separate. I really can see Mike's example as a perfect one for when you might be, say, writing papers for several different classes, and wanting to have reference material open for each class/paper, and it's way easier to know what's what when each of those collections of programs, activities, and purposes exists in its own little virtual world. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Re: Outlook, Top Posting vs. bottom posting
CathyAnne & Bill,
CathyAnne is absolutely correct that there is no way to automatically place the insert point in replies or forwards such that it is after the quoted material. You have to use the keyboard shortcut noted to move your insertion point before typing. There are settings in Outlook Options (ALT+F,T), Mail (M) Pane, under the Replies and Forwards section that allow you to tweak exactly how material being replied to or forwarded is to be handled. There is a dropdown box for When Replying to a message and When Forwarding a message, and I will do my best to describe what option does: 1. Include Original Message Text - Default choice whether Replying or Forwarding. Insert point for the new content will be set at the beginning of the message, so, effectively, this makes all the earlier content bottom posted. 2. Do not include original message - Reply Only option - Exactly what it says. You get a blank message with no quoted content at all when you reply. 3. Attach original message - Reply or Forward option - Again, what it says. The message you are replying to is attached to the reply and would have to be opened to be read. 4. Include and indent original message text - Reply or Forward option - Exactly what it says. The bottom quoted material is inset beneath the new material by one tab stop for the entire message content. 5. Prefix each line of the original message - Reply or Forward Option - Uses block quoting format in the reply for the original message, which is placed below the insertion point for your new content. This can come in very handy if you occasionally top quote or use an interspersed quote-reply format, since most screen readers can easily jump in to or out of block quoted material. There is no physical indentation, but you get the standard "block quote line" to the left side of the quoted material. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

When my speakers blew on my laptop. I looked into getting a Blue Tooth speaker. The salesman talked me out of it stating, “Every time you start or restart the laptop you have to pair the speaker with the laptop all over again. It should automatically pair, but it doesn’t.” I do have blue tooth headphones paired with my iPhone and loved the fact that when it was warmer and we could water the grass, I could leave my iPhone in the lawn chair and, while still chatting with someone, could move the hose with no dropped call.

Hi, It is harder to connect some blue tooth headphones with laptops than a phone. Try having your laptop search for devices under the blue tooth setting. Sometimes the headphones are discovered under a weird name. You may need to try the search a couple of times . Try turning off and then on the blue tooth settings on your laptop to see if this initiates a new search. I have also found that Bluetooth headphones, depending on brand, are not as reliable as with a phone.

Hi, I’ve used Bluetooth earphones with my iPhone, but not with a laptop the headphone jack on my work laptop seems to be not working. I’m not finding any plug in earbuds or headphoens in my house that will work so I can hear JAWS. I thought I could try pairing the earpiece I use with my iPhone. I turned off the Bluetooth connection on my iPhone and turned on Bleutooth in the laptop; however, I don’t see the earpiece showing up in the list, even though my earpiece is in pairing mode. Am I going about this the correct way? Should a basic, Bluetooth earpiece that works with an iPhone also work with a laptop or is there a difference? I think this is a Plantronics earpiece, but I’m not positive. It’s possible my company has some security restriction on Bluetooth, but I dread calling our helpdesk to ask.
