Making calls with MS Teams
Boston, Jason W
Hello all, My company has now switched us to using MS Teams exclusively for inbound and outbound calls. I can answer calls no problem and making calls isn’t hard either. However, once you have made a call, how do you dial numbers to navigate those automated menus most businesses use these days?
Thanks, Jason

Re: Google and auto fill
Shankar.C <shankar.c@...>
Suggestion: Instead turning off the autofill on the chrome, just start typing the value on the field. When the focus in the field, the filled text will be still selected. This is the default behaviour of the autofill function. But, if you still want to turn off the autofill, follow the below steps.
Hope it helps.

Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10, Jaws2021 and Google Chrome. For some reason for the last few days I will be on a web site and come across a field I need to enter text. The field already has text in it. I can move up and down and the value changes. The value is not even what I want. I can type over it. I just wonder why this suddenly started and is there a way to turn it off in Google Chrome? Thanks, Kevin

Hi, can you get out of it with esc key? This normally works for me.

thanks, good information. sometimes Autofill seems helpful, but when tapping around on a website it frequently occurs that I am stuck in the autofill dialog and have no shortcut key to get out. Any advice which keys are helpful? Klaus
My problem is how to get out of the dialog! What is the the applicable shortkey? Thanks On 10/21/2021 6:54 AM, Vaughn Brown wrote:

Re: Auto-adding mails in Gmail Basic View
soner
Rahul, this is possible, assuming that you already have the contact info in your gmail address book, write part of the mail address, then tab to "subject field", and then tab back to "to" field, and navigate by up and down arrows, you will see your contact added. indeed FS should streamline it better, because possibly Gmail suggests names in basic view but JFW does not probably recognise it well.

Hi, Kevin,
A quick Google search came up with these steps. The link is below. I agree, these autofill features can be annoying.
Warmly,

Hi,
I always do a clean install for major OS updates, I think it generally improves performance.
All the best

I don't think there is necessarily a need for a clean install, you can always do one if you find there are issues, but I would do the in-place upgrade first and if all is well you save yourself a lot of time.

Maddison:
I have received an update notice that Windows 11 is available for my computer, however, I was informed, that the download could not go ahead because, I do not have the necessary function turned on in the BIOS. As I have said previously, I am going to wait for at least 6 months to a year, before I upgrade. And, when I do upgrade, I will probably perform a new install of Windows 11.

Re: I am looking for ken burns baseball. does anyone have it please, at least the audio of it?
Dan Yates
Richard, you are correct! Sorry guys, when I went to PBS video every single one I tried to look at said you had to be a member of passport. I’m wondering if the reason I was able to watch Muhammad Ali several weeks ago without getting that message was since it was being broadcast that very weak and hadn’t yet gone onto the list or something? Not sure but sorry I gave misinformation.

Well, all I know is I tried to watch the Ken Burns Baseball and it said I had to have a Passport account…
I believe the only way you get a passport account is by being a subscriber to PBS. I refuse to give them any money in my area because they still do not provide audio description on many things I know have audio description. This Fall they have improved, but not yet enough.

Cannot find a tab in Google Docs
Adrian Spratt
Hi.
A firm has sent me a Google Docs spreadsheet. I’m told I need to click on the “Targets” tab. My sighted wife can find it, and the information I need is there, but I can’t get to it with JAWS.
FYI, I’m using the Google browser. I have accessibility settings set to screenreader and braille on (although I don’t use braille). I’ve also toggled the Excel commands on. I know the commands for moving from sheet to sheet, but they aren’t doing anything.
Again, I can’t even locate the “Targets” tab, never mind click on it.
Any ideas?

J2022 Beta3 Download Link + What's New
Mike B.
Hi all,
J2022.2110.30 Beta 3 download link + what's
new is below.
32 & 64 Bit Download Link:
Enhancements in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion
2022 Public Beta 3
The following is a list of improvements made
between Public Beta 2 and Public Beta 3. Note that while many customer-reported
enhancements are included
in this release, the following is a list of more notable changes. Enhancements in JAWS 2022 and Fusion 2022
Public Beta 3
list of 9 items • In JAWS and Fusion, added new Quick Settings options for Outlook 365 that let you turn off the announcements for unread, replied, or forwarded. While in Outlook 365, press INSERT+V for Quick Settings, and then search for "Indicate" to find the 3 options. • Addressed a reported issue in Outlook 365 where JAWS was not announcing autocomplete results when typing names into the address fields of a new message. • When pressing ESC to exit the Sound Cards layer (INSERT+SPACEBAR, V, C), JAWS now plays the sound to indicate you have exited the layer. • If you configured JAWS to use a different sound card other than the Windows default, resolved an issue where JAWS generated sounds would continue playing through the Windows default sound card until JAWS was restarted. • Addressed a reported issue where Settings Center would become unresponsive if you typed a quotation mark in the Search edit box. • Addressed an issue where JAWS was not reading as expected while navigating by line in Google Docs and you encountered a link spanning multiple lines. • While the default font size for the Braille and Text Viewers is 20, it is now possible to set the size as low as 16 if needed. • Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, X to launch the Flexible Web wizard was not working as expected in Edge Chromium. • Added support for Azure Virtual Desktop. list end Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

I never back up Windows installations or apps, because resetting Windows is very accessible nowadays, with Narrrator.- In matters of taste, there is no right or wrong, so your choice is absolutely not wrong. That being said, I'd rather gnaw off my own fingers than have to reconfigure a Windows system I've been using, and customizing, for years. It's just so much easier to take a system image, including all user data regardless of what it's drive may have been, to have in my back pocket to restore from. It usually takes me less than an hour, start to finish, to recover from a system image backup. It takes a lot longer than that to do a fresh install of Windows and then do all the customizations I can recall that I've done as well as reinstall all the programs. And having your user data on a separate drive will do you no good if that drive were to fail. But I presume you are consistently backing up that drive somehow. There was a time where I separated user data and Windows on separate drives. But in this age of huge drives, cheap, I don't. The probability of any drive failing is about equal, and if you're using an SSD you need to be backing it up even more than an HDD (which should absolutely be backed up routinely, too) because when they fail they are beastly expensive to recover any data from if that's necessary. With backup drives and/or cloud backup storage being so cheap these days, backing up, whether by system image or otherwise, should be a standard part of computer ownership - at least if you care about your data and never want to lose it. I can assure anyone who uses a computer that they will, eventually, suffer a drive failure. It may be only once every 20 years, but if you lose everything you'll regret, bitterly, not having bothered to take backups. -- 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
