I don't know how to. There is no way to get to the calendar that I can see in Google Chrome, and when I go to the Google home page there is no direct link to the calendar. The only way I know of to get into the calendar is by using the Control+L key combination when on my home page using the Chrome browser and then entering calendar.google.com. If there are other ways to access the calendar, I don't know about them.

Subject: Re: Enabling Calendar Notifications using Google Docs

I think these menus areonly for being inside an actual Google
document. Try going to the calendar directly from your main Google
page.

Dear Listers:

I am learning how to use Google Calendar. I have learned to

create an event and have learned to edit one and set notifications for one, but, for example, if I set a notification for two days in advance of the event, the notification never pops up. Somebody from Vispero Support got in touch with me and suggested I enable accessability using Google Docs. I got into Google Docs by first going to my home page using Google Chrome, which is my default Internet browser. After I bring up my home page I try getting into Google Docs by first going to the address bar using the Control+L key combination and then entering docs.google.com. The technician at Freedom Scientific told me that accessibility would be in the Tools menu which, according to him, I would activate using the key combination Alt+Shift+T. I have tried this, but instead of the tools menu popping up I see a list of recently viewed documents. I have also found myself in a menu asking you to either reload a docum!
ent or do other things. I have tried to seek help from many people but have gotten nowhere, and if I discover I cannot access the Tools menu I might just give up on Google Calendar and go back to using Outlook calendar instead. Can one of you please reach out, even if tomorrow is Sunday and even if it is the weekend?

 Hi all.

This might be my imagination, which is strange, lol, After installing
the 2021 Beta, the voice Characteristics of Eloquence, Reed, .

The voice sound very gravely and hollow.

I have gone into the Voice settings and was trying to find the Pitch
setting, but nothing in there, meaning no settings to change the pitch
exists. The rate setting is there but nothing else.

Any thoughts on why this happened, or did it just happen to me?

Thanks

My guess is that this is controlled by which account is set as your primary/default account if you have multiple accounts set up in Outlook.

Try ALT+F,I,S,A  (File Tab, Account Info, Account Settings dropdown, Account settings item).  At this point the account settings dialog will appear, and I'm going to presume you're familiar with it.  Take a cruise through the account list and see if the one currently set as default is that Exchange account.  If you then change the default account to Gmail it's likely to use the repositories associated with that as "first port of call."

Subject: Re: Pivot tables anyone?

Hi Kandace

I've found them very accessible. There are many videos and sites around. I use Chandoo.org - here's his guide to pivot tables - https://chandoo.org/wp/excel-pivot-tables/ 

I haven't explored pivot charting as much so can't comment on htat.

Hi all,

When I first boot up my computer in the morning, and if I go to my email right away, the computer stays running for awhile and then for no good reason, shuts down. I have to reboot it again, to get it started. It may shut down again, if I stay in outlook, but it usually stays running after one or two reboots. What could cause this? I am running jaws 2021 beta on a windows ten computer. Jim

Are you suggesting that it might be better for those of us that have no vision or low vision to use a mouse for invoking the right mouse click if we have a mouse available verses using the keystroke?

Not exactly.  I have not encountered any real difference with right mouse click versus using the Context Menu/Applications Key or SHIFT+F10.  But, I have encountered problem after problem with emulated left mouse click.

As I noted, on a laptop one shields the mousepad portion that controls mouse movement, or on a desktop one masks the laser on the underside of the mouse itself (or removes the ball, if you have a really ancient mouse), to avoid unintentional mouse movement.  Then, if you have focus (sometimes requiring routing of screen reader to PC, but not always) you can simply left click instead of going through the gyrations with emulated left click, which I often find does not work.

Having been in "the accessibility business" for a very long time now I do not understand why mouse use with a mouse suitably modified to prevent accidents is not encouraged more often.  I understand why one would not ever want to use an unmodified mouse/mouse pad, as movement of the pointer can and often does blow what you're attempting to do out of the water.  But if you make things such that the mouse no longer controls the pointer, it gives you the two, real, hard mouse keys for use when you need them.  The modifications are simple and result in another arrow in the accessibility quiver.  And an arrow one need only use if one so chooses when it makes life easier.
