Thanks guys for these shortcuts. I belong to a creative writing group and we often have to write pieces which are word-limited and until I saw these suggestions, the only way I could do this was by using f6.

Hi all, First, I am writing a word document, and I want to replace a person’s name with a different name. Isn’t there a way to find the name in the document, and replace it with another? I thought there was a key stroke to use to find the word you want to replace. Second, what is the key stroke to do a wordcount in a document? I am using jaws 2021 office 2019 and windows ten. Jim

I’m not sure I’m understanding the first part of your message properly, but if you are already in a Word document and want to find and change a word, then use control h and type the word you want to change. Then use the tab key to find the edit field where you want to type the alternative word. You can choose to do this just once or make the changes for every occurrence. Then tab to ok.

The find and replace command is control+h. The first box is what you what to find; tab to the next box and put in your replace it with. Then, Alt-a will replace all.

If anything goes south on you, control+z is your friend.
I think you can get to word count with alt+r then w.

Can knowing it [JAWS Scripting] fix absolutely everything that is inaccessible?- The simple answer to this question is, "No." As a general statement, regarding any programming language (and I count scripts in that broad category) there is no one, universal tool that can be used to fix every issue. The reasons that so many actually exist is that what they're being used for has very often driven the development of the language itself. There is a lot that JAWS scripting can do, and particularly if you're faced with custom software that is not web based that is inaccessible. As web based systems have become more common, and so much is now done through a web browser, even if it's a proprietary in-house system, that scripting is less necessary than it once was. This is not to discourage you from learning whatever you may wish to learn about JAWS scripting, but it's not a silver bullet and panacea for all accessibility issues. -- 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

OIf I were a programmer, personally, I would learn it if I could, only because I might decide to work in the field of accessibility, or like Rodd Said, you would have a far greater chance in fixing problems with accessibility then I would. As that I am not a programmer, and not working in the field of accessibility, I wouldn't learn it because it is too far outside of my skill range. Justin

The company wasn't following WACG accessibility guidelines, because a regular CSR employee shouldn't have to do that. Most don't have that knowledge, and sighted employees don't do that. That is great that this individual can do that, but that is way out of the norm, and an unnecessary to work as a customer service rep.

Re: Jaws scripting and job success questions
Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND
Well, my programmer/analyst days were many years ago, so the technology has changed a good bit since then. Since 1990, I have been a database administrator. I mostly have used the command line on unix and linux. In my old days of programmer/analyst work, that was mostly on mainframes. You can tell what a dinosaur I am!
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In my DBA work, I mainly use the command line, and Oracle Enterprise Manager, which is surprisingly accessible. I have not had success with getting SQL Developer to talk to me, so I have stuck to the command line. I have been away from programming for a long time now, so I don't know anything about the accessibility of developer tools these days. I have really found DBA work to be a good fit for me. Even though there are graphical tools for this work, most everything can also be done from a command line.

Re: outlook 2019 with jaws 2019 and activating mail rules
Thomas N. Chan <thomas.nchan@...>
What are you trying to accomplish You want to move rules? move mails to a certain folder? or move certain groups' emails into a folder? Generally, most people use the subject line to move emails into a folder but I don't. i use email header as this method is more accurate than the subject line. As a subject line like in some cases, someone can forward email to you with certain subject keywords, then it will be accidentally moved into those folders. that will work very well in email groups. For individuals, you generally tag them by using their email address. you just need to learn how to use some of the capability of Outlook itself. you can create a quick access menu in outlook which i personally have. For example, I have the following items in my quick access. 1. empty trash folder 2. forward email as attachment 3.message option 4. define send and receive group 5. mail rules so if i want to see the email header of that particular email, you just select that email and i just hit alt - 3. You can customize quick access by going to alt key once and move left or right and find file and then tab till you find this call customize toolbar, enter and find more commands you add message option. i wish i know where to find it i meant message option so to allow to see the email header you can search the function of outlook as well from the toolbar maybe some other knowledgeable member can chime in Regards, Thomas N.

I should have added that that was the only company I’ve worked for who purchased JFW. Before that, I worked for extremely small companies and used my own copy of JAWS if not my own computer. I am looking for a job currently.

Re: Jaws scripting and job success questions

Hi, Mike. I don’t know how to script. I’ve considered learning it, but I’ve never gotten around to it.
I’ve only had accessibility issues on the job where scripting was considered one time. At that time the company was perfectly willing to pay for it. If you think about it, they already purchased JAWS. They had made an investment in me, so they wanted to make it pay off. Unfortunately, after speaking to, at the time Freedom Scientific, they discovered that scripting wouldn’t help. There was no way to make this proprietary software accessible. As far as job sites, I would start with LinkedIn and Indeed if I were you. If you want remote jobs, look at Flex Jobs. There is a small monthly charge to use, but, in my opinion, it’s worth it.

Hi Mike,

I haven't looked for a job in several years; however, like you, I will be entering the game seeking employment after I complete my course work at Capella University. Through the university's disability services, where there is a joint venture with the federal government to match industry recruiters with students with disabilities; of which can make it a little bit easier to find employment. But to your question of learning JAWS scripting; of which, I think is a job, does not really apply. You know what your skillsets are and if the organization needs your skills, they will hire you. Additionally, the fact that you showed up for the interview brings awareness of people who are qualified for a job; of which, they could be lacking accommodative measures; thereby, making your presence reason for change. And if you are hired, you'll be amazed the lengths the employer and your co-workers will do to make your job more accommodative. In a sense, you become a "poster boy." Of which, add to their marketing strategy. Furthermore, by asking if JAWS scripting is necessary for employment, is only diminishing the value of your current skillset. Like I said, if you're good, and they need what you bring to the table, they will hire you. Henry

I know very little about it. Can knowing it fix absolutely everything that is inaccessible? Without knowing what job I will be accepted for, I feel lost at where to start on learning jaws scripting, to get skilled at what needs to be made accessible. I just know that scripting is quite a time consuming process to learn. What technology careers do most blind people commonly pursue? What has jaws scripting been able to make accessible? Where has it not been helpful? Is Jaws scripting essential, to have any successful career as a blind person? Have any of you been successful in your jobs, without being expert scripters? I feel a little concerned about all of this, because I wonder if I would have been able to have been 100% independent on my previous job, had I known scripting. Is it a panacea? Thank you, Mike

It involved a lot of one-on-one work with end users, which I really enjoyed. I always brought a laptop with me to meetings to take notes. The main issue I had with that job was their use of diagrams, which obviously presented a problem for me. Generally, though, I could get the same description of what was being shown in the picture for visually oriented people, so it didn't end up being a major issue.

Yes, Robin, I think that is a very good point. I think I have only heard about JAWS scripts being used in jobs like customer service at banks, and call centers, but I do think it would be good to know in what kinds of situations they might be useful.
