Rick, if you decide to try Firefox, install the ESR version unless you
can see enough to use a browser without speech.

Dear Richard:

Using Internet Explorer, I sign in with My Account.  Then I search for the
book.  When results pop up I go to its page.  Then I find right above the
Submit button there are a whole bunch of combo boxes such as All Series, All
Authors, ALL IDs, etc.  I have tried just what you suggested by just
arrowing up above the Submit button, but it is not working.  Someone asked
me what browser I was using, saying that with Firefox it can be done.  I am
not using Firefox, though.  I am using Internet Explorer.

Rick,

Using Firefox, it is clearly possible to get to the download link after
selecting a book.  Note that the book download link is above the submit
button rather than after it.

However, when you follow that download link you get to the "check out" page
where it clearly states:

You must be logged in to checkout.

You have to sign up as a patron in order to download anything.

The How to become a patron file makes that pretty clear.

I hope that helps,

Dear Listers:

Are any of you familiar with Audio Book Ministries, also known as Tape
Ministries for the Blind?  They have an online accessible library from which
their books can be downloaded, but doing it using JAWS is very hard.  Their
address is:

https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.audiobookministries.org&data=02%7C01%7Cmrb620%40hotmail.com%7C286abebe022b47204d7308d52739345a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636458048994177241&sdata=9J4bMuicyhxNDuCxVH6K%2Bd1KnfZyhUIw7lOtl7hbUbA%3D&reserved=0

Right now the employee they have who is knowledgeable about screen readers
and about JAWS is on medical leave and they don't know when he will be back
again.  So if any of you are familiar with this particular web site and
maybe, by chance, might have downloaded a book from it, would you please be
so kind as to access it and figure out how it can be done using JAWS?  You
don't have to sign in to do this-at least not for the help I am asking for.
Just go to the web page and find the "Online Library Access," link and hit
the Enter key.  Then if you just find any book, try to figure out how to get
to the page where the book can be downloaded.  When you get to the page that
has the book description, you'll see there is no direct link to download the
book.  There is a "downloads," link but it will not take you to the
"download," page for the book you wish to download.  Instead, it takes you
to the page where there are various things that can be downloaded, such as
the AudioBook Ministries tax summary and various other things not at all
related to the book you wish to download.  When you find a book, just tell
me how to use JAWS to get to the book's download page.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Wanted inputs on the following basic problems with Word.
1. While I wish to make the headings bold or underlined, it sometimes
happens that the subsequent text also appears in bold or underlined
form. I mean pressing Ctrl + U or B doesn't always yield results as
JAWS repeatedly says 'Bold on'. Also if we wish to read a document,
how to effectively ascertain whether the document is underlined or
bold.
2. Any key command to get rid of all the footnotes from the document at once.
3. Key command to get back to the document text after reading the footnote.

All I can sayu is to tell both Freedom Scientific and Microsoft, I am almost sure this was caused by a recent Office update since there was no Jaws update since this started and either Microsoft or Freedom Scientific needs to do something to correct this problem. For me at least it only happens on Windows 7 machines.
Only work-around is to turn Jaws off, type your email address or part of one and press tab once or twice, then turn Jaws back on.

I highly doubt that has anything to do with an Outlook repair, it’s probably just another Office update where Microsoft decided to break things.

It is my guess that there is no work-around other than to start an email from your Contacts. For me even pasting in a complete address will crash it.

Hello, everyone.

This morning, I just discovered a major problem with Outlook 2016 when originating an e-mail.

When I start a new e-mail with control N, I can no longer type a contact address into the “to” field. When I do this, I get kicked out of my new e-mail, and get placed back into my inbox.

Interestingly, I can go to my contacts list, and copy and paste the e-mail address into the to field with no problem. I can also reply to e-mails with no problem.

Once again, the issue occurs when originating an e-mail and trying to access someone in my contacts list.

I am using Jaws 18, Outlook 2016 with Office 365, and Windows 7 here.

Has anyone recently experienced this issue, and if so, have you found a fix?

I am eligible to upgrade to Jaws 2018, and will do so when I get the chance.

However, in the meantime, I’d like to be able to quickly originate e-mails in the usual way if at all possible.

First, my understanding was that you might be able to use the

ElBraille has a tablet processor, which is not as fast and responsive 
as my three year old desk top computer.  It is similar in speed to my 
Asus tablet I purchased around three years ago.  Although, I do not 
use the Asus tablet enough to have a good comparison, and my 
ElBraille
14 may be faster, it is not as fast and responsive as my desk topcomputer.
I do not use OpenBook or OCR on the Elbraile.  I believe you will 
need Jaws 18.  You will want to buy a USB hub to give you more than 
one USB port, and I also bought an HDMI adapter with a regular 
monitor port for my wife to be able to give me some feedback.

Running a computer just using the Focus 14 key board has been a 
learning curve.  I did cheat for a while and connected a regular keyboard.
The Braille translation table in Jaws does have a problem, it 
recognizes dg as the degrees symbol in words.  For example, budget is 
pronounced bu-degrees-et.  I am not sure if Jaws 2018 has an updated 
translation that has corrected this.  This is a Braille translation 
problem, not an ElBraille problem.  Also, I have not heard yet if I 
can update my ElBraille to run Jaws 2018, which I am running on the 
restof my computers.
There are times that I wish it was a little snappier running Outlook, 
Word, and Excel, but it isn't too bad.  I had been using the ElNotes 
program to take notes, until I just decided today to use Wordpad instead.

The makers of the ElBraille like Fire Fox, and I do not use it.  I 
had started using Google Chrome, but there was problems typing into 
edit fields with the Braille key board when using Chrome, which I am 
not sure if this is an ElBraille problem or Jaws, but I suspect it is 
a Jaws problem.  VFO recommended I use Internet Explorer and Ron 
Miller help me get Internet Explorer to be my default browser.

Keep in mind that this is not a VFO product, and VFO did not have a 
dedicated support person for the ElBraille when I last called techsupport.
Ron Miller from VFO did take the time to talk with me when I was 
having some initial challenges with ElBraille.  I have found it 
easier and quicker to send questions direct to the Elita Group who 
made the ElBraille, and they do respond fairly quickly.

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions.
I still believe the best notetaker in the future will be a full 
featured windows computer or tablet, which is why I am willing to go 
through the challenge of using the ElBraille.

My experience has been that jaws doesn't work well using auto-start in
remote situations (whether connecting to a local VM or an actual
remote desktop), but I also haven't poked at it enough to try and
figure out why. If I had to guess I would think it's because jaws is
trying to start before the communication channel is ready but I do not
know that for a fact. If I start jaws manually it works fine.

Is there a way to make Jaws speak the indent of current line? It's
very important in some languages, like Python to keep all the lines
indented correctly.

One way I was told is to change scheme by pressing Insert+Alt+s and
then select one of the indent schemes. But this doesn't work for me,
nothing happens when I select indent scheme. I tried it in Visual
Studio and notepad. I'm using Jaws 18 and the latest Windows 10. Is
there any additional configuration needed to make indent scheme
working?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you
Tony

All I can sayu is to tell both Freedom Scientific and Microsoft, I am almost sure this was caused by a recent Office update since there was no Jaws update since this started and either Microsoft or Freedom Scientific needs to do something to correct this problem. For me at least it only happens on Windows 7 machines.
Only work-around is to turn Jaws off, type your email address or part of one and press tab once or twice, then turn Jaws back on.

Yes, I have experienced this problem with Outlook crashing when trying to enter a contact address into the "to field".  In fact, I have posted a quiry about this on this list.

The problem just started occurring within the past few days.

An Outlook repair has been suggested, but I have not tried that yet.

Also, am going to see if the problem occurs with NVDA.

If anyone else has experienced this problem and has a fix, please let us know.

I'm not sure if it's a Jaws or a Microsoft problem.

Hi: When in outlook, the messages list, and I hit control there are edit fields where I can type in the name of the recipient. However, when I hit the first letter, outlook closes. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Thanks.

Hi Tom,

I highly doubt that has anything to do with an Outlook repair, it’s probably just another Office update where Microsoft decided to break things. I would call Microsoft Accessibility and show them, I am planning to do just that once I get to work today. It is my guess that there is no work-around other than to start an email from your Contacts. For me even pasting in a complete address will crash it.

Cathyanne:

I tried re-booting, with no luck.

I have never done an Outlook repair, so can you tell me how to carry that out once I find it in programs and features?

In other words, what do I look for, and where do I find the Outlook repair option?

One other thing I will try is NVDA. I’ll see if the problem replicates itself with that screen reader.

Thanks for your response.

Two suggestions come to mind.

Try a reboot. Hopefully that will fix the issue
If the reboot doesn’t work, you can try repairing outlook through the “Programs and Features” applet of the Control Panel
