Hello everyone, I just took a job telemarketing. I use Jaws 17 and windows 10. The program we use for the Auto dialer and, “Softphone” allows me to use my own computer. However; I am running into

Thanks, Nermin. This clarifies things nicely. Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan

I can't say whether or not this article on accessibleculture.org entitled, Not All ARIA Widgets Deserve role="application", will be helpful with regard to use of application mode, but it has given me

Oops, that should be leftmost. If you invoke a ribbon and hit tab once, you always enter at the left side and work your way rightward. As Adrian has confirmed, once you've done a few traversals of

Hi, this was not the case for my HP Desktop recently purchased in October. It was however the case with my new Toshiba laptop purchased at the same time. It should also be noted however that not all

Hi Les. Can you use all the regular Office features without an internet connection? It has been said that More of Office 2016 is in the clouds. I wonder if there is a document that compares

Hi List, I have done something that has effected the functionality of my surface pro 3. An immediate example is that I can no longer go to the top of the body of an email using CTR+F9. Can anyone
