Re: My documents have mysteriously inverted

An easy way is when you are in the list of documents, tab once. It will say 'name, split button'. Press enter and the docs will turn themselves right-side-up again. Do it a second time and the list will flip over the other way.

You are probably right, that extra verbiage is annoying, but Jaws does say what you want after the unnecessary chatter about alert messages and chats …if you keep listening.

What are you expecting to hear with insert+tab? The Jaws help says that command “JAWSKey+Tab Says the current window and the associated prompt label.”
I’m guessing that is the associated prompt.

A further note on how this happens; if you press control+o to open a document and shift+tab to get to your files, the first button you land on is Name…. If you accidentally press space or enter on that button, you will reverse the order of the files.

Re: Forms mode: your preferences
Van Lant, Robin
Like Mario, I have typically had mine on Manual for the same reasons. So many sites have search boxes and newsletter sign-up boxes and such and I want to just breeze by them without Forms mode triggering as I'm exploring. It's good every once in a while to change a setting, though, and see if my opinion on it has changed.

Weird. I've never had anything untoward happen with using the control key for silence in excel. Navigation seems quite fast for me in excel, you may be suffering from an old computer.

Good morning:
I don’t know how this happened, but please help! I can’t get my list of folders and documents to turn back to listing from A-Z instead of Z-A. I know how to fix the desktop when that happens, but not file explorer.
Everything was fine last night when I shut down. Today, poof! They’re in reverse alphabetic order.
Thanks for any help.

I wrote to FS, and they gave me a case number, and I haven't heard from them since. Since I am authorized to have it, why won't it installs? I know a lot of you have a lot more knowledge about this kind of thing, so if you have some ideas, I would appreciate them. I am running jaws 19 at the moment on a windows ten computer. Jim
