Stopping JAWS from saying Window shortcut keys?

Re: It happened again, cannot access Thunderbird alert

I have tried a number of way to stop it from checking or notifying me about updates, but so far nothing has worked, the only thing I've been able to do is to turn off automatic updates. All F6 ever

Re: Forwarding or Replying in Outlook

Hello Barbara: This is something which appears to be a fairly frequent occurrence, at least for those of us who use JAWS. If in doubt, forward to yourself first and test the results before

Re: It happened again, cannot access Thunderbird alert

I know that in browsers, when an update message occurs, F6 will get me to it, I may have to F6 more than once. I've never tried it in T-bird, I think I turned off updates in that program. Glenn

Glenn; That's easy enough, I can do that. Thanks! And yes, this is a spreadsheet I created that allows me to put the winning numbers in the top section, then put my tickets in the bottom section,

Re: making a master spreadsheet with Excel

Yes, I should have been more clear. I simply made it read only. But in my work stuff, I have made cells read only too. Glenn

Re: making a master spreadsheet with Excel

Glenn; By protect, do you mean Excel's protect function, or do you mean marking the file as read only? And if you mean Excel's protect function, wouldn't you have to unprotect the spreadsheet before
