I have my JAWS in the notification area, but I think this will still help. In JAWS go to the file tab, then options and arrow down. One option is braille. Press enter on that and tab a couple of times to "add braille display." If that still doesn't help, let me know, and I will take my JAWS out of the notification area and take a look. Take care and stay safe! Debby -----Original Message-----

creating emojis?

From: Adrian Spratt
Another way to handle tables in Outlook is to prevent it from handling them as tables. In the following instructions posted by Mike B, I don't recall if medium" applies to all users or just those who have made that setting. You may need to substitute your setting on line 6: 1. Open the Settings Center while in Outlook with the keystroke, Insert + 6, on the number row. 2. Down arrow or first-letter navigate to, Web / HTML / PDFs closed, right arrow to open. 3. Down arrow or first-letter navigate to, Reading, right arrow to open. 4. Down arrow or first-letter navigate to, Configure Web Verbosity Levels closed, right arrow to open. 5. Down arrow or first-letter navigate to, Medium..., spacebar to open. Don't press enter. 6. Down arrow many times or first-letter navigate to, Table grid checked, and uncheck it with the spacebar. 7. Tab to Okay. Tab to apply. Tab to Okay again. Adrian Stay safe and take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool ----- Original Message -----

Hello All, I still have some sight, so I tend to just close Fusion and used Win10 Colour Invert to work around it - but obviously this isn't a good long term solution. I have this on many sheets, including new sheets I have just created. I have also seen it when the file is local on the C drive and when Synced by OneDrive, as I know OneDrive Sync can slow things down at times. |

To do this: press CONTROL plus SPACE, then JAWS (or other screen reader) should say, “Not Selected.” If you need to, hit CTRL+SPACE again. 2. Press Applications/Menu Key or SHIFT plus F10, and Arrow down to the New Submenu, then press ENTER. 3. ARROW down to Shortcut then press ENTER. 4.

When it asks for a name for the shortcut, press the DELETE key then type: AppsFolder 7. TAB to the Finish button, then press ENTER. 8. Now, on your desktop, you will have a shortcut that reads: AppsFolder 9. If you press ENTER on the AppsFolder shortcut, a special Windows system folder will open containing all of your apps. 10.

Hit the Applications/Menu Key, or SHIFT+F10, down arrow to Create Shortcut, then press ENTER. 12. When it tells you that a shortcut can’t be created here, and it asks if you want a shortcut on the desktop, press ENTER on Yes. 13. That’s it. Now you will have a shortcut for your chosen app on the desktop.

Re: shortcut to web site on desktop

Hi,
Go to the desktop.
Press Control Space until it says Not Selected, so that no items are selected on the desktop.
Press Shift F10 or the applications key.
Press W for New, then S for shortcut.
In the target field, enter your website URL, then tab and give it a name, then hit finish.
All done.

Re: Putting computer to sleep
Paul Filpus
Brian,
While I appreciate your time and effort in helping me with my computer problem, I don’t wish for us to keep looking for a solution.
I’ve been saying that both my display and computer don’t automatically go to sleep, I have now been told that the display does go to sleep; it’s just the computer that does not. Being totally blind, I can’t tell on my own what the display does. So, the problem is not serious enough to pursue any further. Besides, I’ll be getting a new computer soon, and will need to start dealing with Windows 11, so I’ll have plenty of new and interesting challenges to deal with.
Thanks, Paul

You need to tell your system from Taskbar properties to
display the Network icon in the system tray. Try this:
1. From the desktop press, Windows key + T, to open the
Taskbar, and press, Alt + Enter, to open the Taskbar properties.
2. Tab to Notification area customize button, and press
enter.
3. Tab to, Network..., and up arrow to, show icon in
notifications.
4. Tab to, Okay, press the spacebar and again tab to,
Okay, and press enter to save / close.
You can also go to the control panel /
Network and sharing..., and press
enter. I can't give you steps from here since I'm connected via
ethernet, but try pressing enter on the, connect or disconnect link, or find the
Wifi option and press enter on it. Sorry but this is the best I can do at
the moment.

I haven't used Windows 7 since 2015, but I do seem to remember that WiFi (or maybe they called it Internet) was one of the icons that appeared in the system tray and I do know that this is what I activated to bring up the list of available connections back then, and use that method under Windows 10.

Hi, my laptop running Windows 7 with JAWS 17.0.2729 used to be directly connected to our satellite dish, now it’s not and I’d like to use our wi-fi.

So, can someone give me a pathway to find were I can tell my laptop to access our wi-fi signal? Thanks.
