You have 3 choices, 1. Ask someone sighted to help you if they are there with you; 2. Use the free service of Be My Eyes with a smart phone that has a camera; 3. The paid services of Aira, again with the use of a smart phone with a camera. -----Original Message-----

Re: Outlook Calendar over flow

Thanks for your help on this, it’s a true conundrum for sure. I’ll probably see if I can set up a session with Vispero to see if someone with some vision can see just what’s what! Once again, appreciate you looking.

I’m using the day view and I always tab through each event on that day. For example, I know that I have four meetings tomorrow but when I tab, I get the first two and then get that over flow. Then it starts to try and look at the next day. It’s really quite a problem since I cannot see all my meetings and I almost missed one this morning.

Mine is checked and f2 works absolutely perfectly.- My guess is that one group of us is talking right past the other because we're coming at "what's being edited" from opposite sides. I had presumed that it was the formula that what was wanted to be edited directly in the cell, and in that case the checkbox for Allow editing directly in cell should be checked. Values in non-computed cells are directly editable after hitting F2 when focus is on those cells with the above noted checkbox checked. The cursor is put to the rightmost side of the cell and you can backspace out the content one character at a time. If I have that checkbox UNchecked, if I try to edit a cell by hitting F2, focus is thrown to the formula box and the editing takes place there. And that's whether the cell content is an actual formula or is text, a number with no formula, etc. Any and all editing takes place in the formula box. The default is that the checkbox is checked. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. ~ André Gide |

Re: How do I edit in a cell in Excel 2016
Alan Robbins <arobbins1057@...>
Marty,
Here are the steps I did a couple of years ago to fix the problem, hopefully they still work. 1. Have Excel open. 2. Press “alt+f” to open the file menu then press “t” for the options. 3. Press “control+tab” until the focus is on the “Advanced” options page. 4. Press “alt+e” to toggle the “Allow editing directly in cells” option. Ensure that this is unchecked. 5. Press “enter” to save the changes. Editing cell contents should now work again.

FYI, the "Tell me what you want to do" help search in Excel is really helpful for this sort of thing. I searched on "edit cell contents" and ran into this in the help. You are trying to enable [check] the Allow editing directly in cells checkbox:
Enter Edit modeTo start working in Edit mode, do one of the following:

JAWS repeating subject and email address in Thunderbird
Marty Hutchings
I am using Thunderbird with Windows 10 and JAWS 2021 and I have noticed that when I open an email to read it, JAWS repeats the subject and my email address sometimes three times before beginning to read the body of the message. Is there anything that I can do to get JAWS to not do this. I would rather that JAWS just be silent while loading the message after saying the subject once.

Help - can I create a narrated power point using JAWS 2021?
Cynthia Bruce
Hi All,
I am trying to record a conference presentation, and I am running into trouble. The optimal way to do this would be using narrated power point because I can do it one slide at a time. However, I can’t seem to get JAWS to read the record, stop, or play recording buttons – my partner can see them but I can’t get to them. So, I can’t tell if I am recording, can’t listen to what I may or may not have recorded, and can’t delete what I have recorded.
Thanks,
Cynthia |

Hmm, I've used the Kindle for PC since 2015, and have had no problems reading with it. I did have registration issues the first couple times, but then an update took care of those. You can read the book with which ever screen reader you're
using, if the book supports it. Most of the ones I've gotten do.
If it doesn't the app has text to speech built-in. On 4/26/2021 11:04 AM, Jeff Lukacsena
