Oh, such a brilliant idea. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Still at work, but glad to be headed home soon with a couple ideas in my head.

If you can not get the caps lock to turn off, try using shift plus the letter when you need a lowercase letter. Essentially doing the opposite of what you will normally do to get a capital letter when typing.

Thank you. I passed along the information, but never heard whether he was able to do it. I know the company changes the place he needs to click from time to time, but if this works, it would be a great idea. I will read more about placemarkers and let him know about that option.

I eliminated the Jaws Icon, and kept the Jaws 18.0 Icon. I did have to re-create my alt control J. shortcut, but that was no problem. So, I'm all set now. Thanks much! Tom Behler -----Original Message-----

Still Unable To Navigate An E-mail Group After Latest Jaws Update
Tom Behler
Hello again, everyone.
As I reported earlier, I just updated my Windows 7 laptop here to Jaws 18.0.4350.
I was hoping the update would solve a problem that I have been experienceing with e-mail groups in Outlook 2016.
Basically, for the past few months, I have found myself unable to navigate the names in an Outlook 2016 e-mail group via the up and down arrow keys. I used to be able to do this with no problem.
Now, it is very difficult to determine exactly who is in an e-mail group, which, of course, leads to difficulties when trying to update or edit the group.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, have you found a fix for it?
Again, I’m using Jaws 18.0.4350 with Windows 7 and (Outlook 2016.

Re: Interesting Icon Issue After Updating To Jaws 18.0.4350
Tom Behler
Yes, Mike.
When I click on either Icon, the normal Jaws window comes up.
I just deleted one of the Icons, and Jaws still comes up via the usual Alt Control J. short-cut, so I think I’m now all set.
Thanks for the quick response.

I come late to this discussion but... When your Brother finally gets this particular area found with the mouse can he then use the place marker functions of JAWS to get there all the time? If I understood the functions of this ability it can be website specific and he can just use the placemarker list to go directly to that point. I just thought it was worth a suggestion. Anyone with more experience with the placemarkers should absolutely jump in here and correct my understanding. Shannon |

Jonas,
Thank you for that suggestion. I’ll try that when I get home. Is that what I will always need to do when I want caps lock to work normally in JAWS? In Window Eyes, the default was to be caps lock unless I held it and pushed another key.

Hello,
I finally installed JAWS 18 on my home laptop yesterday – a Windows 10 HP machine. I have it set up to require a password to log into Windows. I had no trouble with logging in when I first installed JAWS. However, later in the day I got around to changing the caps lock to be a JAWS key, which is how I have Window Eyes set up. I then changed the settings to stop having Window Eyes load at start-up and, instead, have JAWS start. Finally, I had started to update JAWS 18, per an update prompt I got from JAWS. I didn’t think it was downloading and I thought I’d cancelled it, but later, as I was doing something else, I think I heard JAWS say that it had started the install process for the newest version. So, I think I’m on the version I received back in July with the WE migration, but it’s possible I’m on a newer release of JAWS 18.
So here’s the problem. I left to make dinner and when I came back, my screen was locked. I entered my password, but discovered that the caps lock is on and I cannot get it to release so that I can type in my password with lowercase letters. When I press the caps lock key, it says nothing, which makes me think it’s acting as the JAWS key. What do I do? The thought I had on the way to work today is to shut down the laptop and see if I can get caps lock to function normally before JAWS loads. Not sure if this will work, but that’s my only other idea. Is this an issue for others?
