Re: Editing the status line in Word with JAWS
Mike B.
Hi Loreal,
Try the following:
The insert key with the page down (3) key on the number pad can give you the info. The page number should already be showing on the status bar but you can add column and line number. Move focus to the status bar by using function key 6. Press the application key or Shift + F10 and use down arrow in the menu. You should find Column and Line Number and you can press enter key on each of those to check them if you want those items to show on the status bar along with page number. Press escape after checking the items you want. Using the insert with number pad 3 should then read you all three of those items you mentioned. Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

Re: Strange issue with JAWS and Chrome
Curtis Chong
Greetings:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
When running a search through Google with Chrome, I have found that it helps to press the plus key on the number pad to verify the virtual cursor is actually on. If I hear JAWS say PC cursor, I have to press tab once. Why this happens is a mystery to me, but if I use this approach, I get focus on the web page so that JAWS can interpret it sooner. Best regards, Curtis Chong

Re: Strange issue with JAWS and Chrome
Bill White
Hi, Rahul. I suspect that Chrome is using some sort of search filter, based on your past browsing history, and that your results are being sorted accordingly. Here's what I would try first.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1. Open Chrome. 2. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus DELETE to enter your history. 3. Delete the items in the following categories in history, using All Time as the range, Browsing history Download history Cookies and other site data Cached images and files Autofill form data I would not delete passwords and sign in data. It is up to you whether or not you wish to delete Site Settings. You can always reconfigure these later if you think something there might be interfering with your google search.

Re: number of pages in a PDF

That is quite true of any new dialog box.- Joseph Lee once used the term information blackout to describe the idea that any screen reader user cannot ever experience any window, dialog, etc., as a gestalt like one does when seeing it. And it's true, since a screen reader can only focus on an element at a time during the most typical forms of navigation. You can't take it all in at once. But, and it's a critical but, screen reader users who don't know about this need to, and need to know about the necessity of actually reviewing new windows, dialogs, whatever, in their entirety if they wish to know everything that it contains. Mind you, I'm not insane enough to say this must happen each and every time you happen to "be passing through" on something that's neither of great import nor that you expect to use again. But the PDF dialog, given the context of the original question and the information being sought, is a perfect example where reviewing it, in its entirety, using the method(s) your screen reader gives you, is necessary to know everything it says, at least for a given screen reader. There is a difference in what NVDA and JAWS announce by default based on the layout of that particular dialog. And in this case, it takes a bit more cajoling to get all the information that NVDA gives by default, which is complete, from JAWS. There are plenty of instances I can recall where the reverse is true, so this is not an insult aimed toward JAWS. And in any instance, when someone using another screen reader than you routinely do reports that they're getting more information than you are in a specific context, that clearly indicates that your chosen screen reader is, for this context, "missing something" unless you force it to reveal it, if you can force it to reveal it, and you generally can. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 It is the function of creative men to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expression that may seem utterly different, and to be able to combine them into some new forms--the power to connect the seemingly unconnected. ~ William Plomer

Re: number of pages in a PDF

Bill, That is quite true of any new dialog box. I find the same if exploring the File Properties dialog If it’s a new box to me, I’d most likely think it appropriate to insert insert B or to virtualize the window to get a sense of all that is there.

Hi, Richard. The problem isn't that the information isn't available. The problem is that, if one is unfamiliar with this particular dialog box, and one doesn't know that this information is there, it is easily missed, since one can't arrow out of the edit box to see that there is more information there than just the edit box.

After control+shift+n I just press insert+b to read the dialog and get the information about page x of x plus the OK, cancel etc. But quite simple.

Correction On JAWS Not Speaking Zoom Joins and Leaves
Steve Matzura
Turns out, my reported problem the other day of not hearing JAWS speak Zoom meeting joins and leaves was incomplete. I also don't hear host and cohost messages, like people entering and leaving the Waiting Room. However, if I am not focused in the Zoom Meeting window, I do hear all of these things. This only happens in JAWS 2021. I am using the Vispero-provided script, and it used to work up until I think the last JAWS update, 2021-0712. If I could troubleshoot or debug this any further for someone to help me solve it, I'd glad to do that, just tell me what to check. Alerts are turned on with Alt+Windows Key+S, and when the events occur which are supposed to trigger those messages, pressing Alt+A reads them correctly as having been displayed. In Help > Accessibility, everything is turned on (checked), and I'm on the latest version of Zoom, 5.7.4804.
TIA

Re: Deactivating OneDrive using JAWS?
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
I don't recommend that at all because first of all there is a good chance it may reinstall the next time there is a major Windows update and secondly it uses such an inconsequential amount of space that you might as well leave it. This way if you decide at some point you want to use it it's right there and you can simply log in. Anybody who has a Microsoft 365 subscription might as well use it since you get 1 Tb of free storage with the subscription.

Re: Deactivating OneDrive using JAWS?
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
Instead of all the initial steps you can just press the Windows key and start typing "startup", chances are that by the time you type "start" you hear Jaws saying "Startup Apps, System settings, Press right to switch preview", press enter at that point and then tab until you get to OneDrive, in the process you may come across something else you may find you don't need to load at startup and you can turn it off by pressing the spacebar.

When you are done just press Alt + F4 to exit the Settings, there is no OK button or anything like that and the next time you reboot (no need to reboot right away) it won't come up.

My previous response jumped the gun so to speak. I meant to ask you if you just wanted to stop one drive from starting when Windows starts; whether you want to uninstall one drive or; whether you want to disable one drive, which will also uninstall one drive. Bill's and Randy's suggestions will help you with the first 2 questions in the paragraph above, whereas, if you want to disable one drive, let me know, and I will send you the instructions off-list.
