Re: Background programs interfering with JAWS
Curtis Chong
Hi Karen:
Simply search in the Start Menu for Touch. Touch Pad Settings pops up. Press Enter on that. You should be on a button which says Touch Pad On. Press Space to turn it off. Simple as that.
Kindly,
Curtis Chong

Hello Karen:
I don’t believe there is a turn off mouse function, but there is one which can be used to turn off the touchpad which usually sits in front of a laptop’s keyboard.

This is a problem I’ve been having for some time. A program I have running in the background – Ripping a CD, for example – interrupts JAWS speech in a foreground program – Chrome browsing FaceBook, for example. It affects JAWS like a screen refresh. There must be something elementary I’m missing. Anyone?

Hi Mark,
I don't think this can be done, but you can copy the ENU
folder and its contents for each version of JAWS from one computer and paste it
into the same version of Jaws settings folder of the 2nd computer replacing its
ENU folder with computer number ones. This will give you the same
settings, dictionaries, scripts, modifications... for the same for both
computers as long as both computers are running identical programs and
applications.

While in an office program, open file, then options and arrow down to the Save category. There is an option in there where you can tell Office where you want to save things by default. I assume that is the appropriate way to do it.

Hello Joseph:
If you want to learn where some keys are located on your keyboard, one helpful feature is the JAWS Keyboard Learn mode. Press insert with the number 1 on your keyboard to turn it on or off. Once the mode is on, most keys will say what they are if you just press them. For example, if you are trying to find the plus key on the number pad, press insert with the number 1 and then press the various keys on the pad to hear what they are.

On Behalf Of Van Lant, Robin via groups.io
External Message - Use caution when opening links or attachments John, I’ve not used this feature in the past, but I’m really curious now and exploring it with you. So, here are my observations from playing around. It seems that the driving factor of whether this works is if you have the setting to allow editing in cells turned on or off. Recall that that is under Options in the Advance category. That needs to be turned on.
From my testing, Brian is right that the alt down arrow is a toggle for the setting to have formula autocomplete on., but I was misunderstanding how it worked. I wonder if this is the issue you are having, too. Whether I have the checkbox on the Options menu for formula autocomplete turned on or if it’s off an i use the alt down arrow, I only get results if I type a letter after the equals sign. So, even if the formula autocomplete is turned on and I only type an equals sign in the cell, nothing happens and the cell until I type a single letter, at which point it suggests functions with that letter. If you hear JAWS say a suggestion, you can arrow down through the options, If you don’t hear JAWS read out an option, you’ll need to do the alt down arrow, just like you would with a combo box. Then you can arrow through the list of suggestions and hit enter on the one you want.
Disappointedly, I don’t think there is a way to read the tag that shows the syntax for the formula. I’d like to figure out of there are options for that.
An alternative, especially for common functions or ones you don’t know is to type the equals sign, then hit Alt F3. This puts you in the formula bar and, if you hit alt down arrow, you get a list of common functions. Hitting enter one of these opens a dialog box for arguments. Further in the list is a More button you can use to search for functions alphabetically or with keywords.
The other trick I learned recently was to type the equals sign then a couple letters of the function you want then hit tab, which autocomplete the function and enters the opening parenthesis. I suppose that works only if you are doing a function like vlookup or xlookup that is more unique that, say, a count function that could end multiple ways.
