How To Adjust Windows Sounds Volume On A Windows 10 PC
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
For reasons that I don’t quite understand, the Windows Sounds volume has become quite high on one of my Windows 10 PC’s.
I thought the problem would be corrected by reducing the system volume, but that did not help.
Can someone tell me how to specifically adjust the Windows sounds folume?
Once again, I’m using the latest build of Jaws on a Windows 10 PC here.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin, What do the instructions for Outlook 2019 tell you to do? I use Office 365 but if what you have is different then I’ll provide you with them, otherwise hopefully someone can help you

Hello, I’m using Outlook2016 and most recent version of Jaws2022. I looked through my notes and emails from the list and couldn’t find anything on turning on BCC for an email created in Outlook2016. I do have instructions for Outlook2019 and the BCC option didn’t show up. Where can I find BCC in Outlook2016? Thanks, Kevin

Re: Need To Send An Outlook Contact E-mail Group List To Someone

Robin:
I actually discovered this set of options the other day, and couldn’t figure out whether I should send the group info as an Outlook group or an internet file.
This is because one or two of the people I was going to send the list to do not use Outlook.
It’s always good to know there are different ways to do things.
The challenge is finding out about them, which is why I think the main@jfw list is so great.
Thanks!

Tom, Yet another approach is a button on the ribbon. When you are in the contact group, there is a button on the Home ribbon for Forward the group. Alt H N is the sequence. I’ve done this with a colleague internally. In Office 365, the submenu asks if you want it sent as an Outlook group or an internet file.

This sure sounds simple enough, and may actually be easier than the approach I developed yesterday.
I’m definitely going to save this for future reference.

Hello, everyone.
I have an outlook e-mail contact group list that I want to send to someone.
I can get to the group list by pressing shift control B, entering the group name, and then tabbing over once to the list of group members.
However, I’m unable to copy and paste the group list in the usual way—i.e. control A followed by Control C, and Control V.
I have to believe there’s a way to copy this list, and send it to someone, but I don’t know how to accomplish this.
Can anyone help?

Hi, Karen. Usually, you told me, that it happens in Outlook. So, if you are in the Inbox, and you have 128 messages, when you virtualize the control, you will see a list of the messages currently visible on the screen. This last phrase is important, because you can't interact with the screen in this mode. So, if you look at the total screen that is visible, you will see all your messages on that screen, but you won't be able to open, delete, move them or anything else. It is just a reading mode. They used to call these reading modes screen review modes. The reason Virtual Control Mode doesn't work on webpages is that they had to put the browsers in a continuous virtual mode because of the way they are made now. So if you put outlook into Virtual Control mode, all you will be able to do is to read what is on the screen. In order to exit this mode, you must press ESCAPE. the benefit of this mode is that you can see the size, date, time, etc. of messages, and read through the information. Outside of virtual mode, you can hear the information, but you can't arrow through it, read it, copy it, etc.

Hi, Karen. If you find a link, and use that shortcut, you are probably on a webpage. If you are using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, it is probably going to tell you that the current location is already in a virtual view. To get the actual URL from a link, you usually focus on the link, press the Applications key, arrow down to copy, then read the URL by using WINDOWS Key plus JAWS Key plus X to read what is in the clipboard. This is a good way to find out if a link is trying to take you to a scam website where you don't want to go.

Hi, Karen. If there is a button or other control that you can press by focusing on it, and pressing Space or Enter, pressing INSERT plus SHIFT plus V puts that control in a virtual view. A virtual view is one in which you can look at the control without actually causing it to do what it does when you press Enter or Space on it. It is a way of looking at the controls on the screen without actually clicking on it, the way a sighted person would do by looking at it.

Hi, Karen. If there is a button or other control that you can press by focusing on it, and pressing Space or Enter, pressing INSERT plus SHIFT plus V puts that control in a virtual view. A virtual view is one in which you can look at the control without actually causing it to do what it does when you press Enter or Space on it. It is a way of looking at the controls on the screen without actually clicking on it, the way a sighted person would do by looking at it.

Hi, I frequently accidentally press the v instead of b when I am wanting to check the amount of batter time left before needing to charge my laptop. Normally I press insert plus shift plus the letter b. sometimes I mess up and hit v. What is the window that pops up that is “virtualizing current control”? If I do the same thing in an Outlook message it says “No text in current window”, even when there is text there. What is this shortcut key function?
Karen
