Re: Laptop mouse question
I use an external keyboard with my lap top. that way I don't inadvertently hit the touchPad. Some computers you can turn it off and on easily, but some you can't.

Mark,
My recommendation of over a decade not to every one of the clients I've tutored is NOT to disable the mousepad, because having real left and right click hard buttons is just so

Re: Use of Headings, or Rather Lack Thereof, in Groups.IO Discussion Lists
Well, groups.io does use layout tables, so perhaps try turning off ignoring of layout tables in your screen reader and see if that works for you.. If not, I could see creating a javascript applet that

Re: getting Jaws on the desktop
The issue with that is that Jaws isn't on that list.

David,
I have just updated my tutorial, Searching the JAWS Group Archive, most of which is applicable to browsing and reading the regular Topics page for any given Groups.io group as well.

Re: reading footnotes in a word document
He meant just jawsKey plus v.
The main thing is looking at the footnote options to have it read.
I'm not at my computer right now to check the exact wording.

Software means never having to say

Use of Headings, or Rather Lack Thereof, in Groups.IO Discussion Lists
Hi all,
I have come to really value the various Groups.IO lists related to accessibility, including this one. However, one thing that has always irked me is how clunky and inefficient navigation

Re: reading footnotes in a word document
I pressed the jaws key, 0 and then v. That doesn’t do anything. I then pressed jaws key o and v. That didn’t do anything. When Jaws reads your text below it says jaws key zero volt. Is that some

Re: Laptop mouse question
Yes, the issue is very annoying. After Dell does an update, a Dell update and not a Windows update, the mouse touch pad gets re activated. Go into control panel and under mouse you will find a setting

Re: Laptop mouse question
Don:
As far as I know, Dell laptops are different.
My understanding is that you have to go into the bios to turn off the mouse
pad, and I've found that the setting often does not stick.

Re: Laptop mouse question
On my HHP laptops there is a mouse setting to disable the touch pad if you have a physical mouse plugged in. I purchased a mouse with a small dongle and keep it plugged into a USB port.

Tom,
I believe that there is a way to turn off the mouse in BIOS, but that's all I know. Perhaps a start.

I have been using Dell laptops lately, and always try to turn off the mouse pad for the same reasons you suggest.
However, I notice that sometimes the mouse pad gets turned back on

Laptop mouse question
List,
I have had numerous laptops over the years and the “mouse” area always causes problems… Often times I inadvertently touch the mouse area and JAWS loses focus. Do most users turn off

Re: Jaws command question
Turns out I didn't have a hot key set, which would explain why it didn't work.
Thanks everyone!!
