Hi, Laura. No question is dumb, especially if you've done your best to find the answer and still haven't found it when you ask the question. The only way I know to tell if a keystroke is a JAWS

Hello all, I believe that a while back, someone indicated that there was information regarding optimizing computer using JAWS for making windows 10 more user friendly. If so, please share this

Hello, This may seem like a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway ...... When using keystrokes to perform certain tasks, could someone tell me how I know if that is a Windows keystroke or a Jaws

Thanks, Mario. I'll let you and the others know how I do. Tom Behler

In most applications, (and in all of the ones I have worked in that use Microsoft Office), control N makes a new file. A folder is the place where files go. As a comparison, think of each file as a

You just gotta love that f12!

Amen. God bless.

I share your philosophy there, Robin. Bye for now, Carolyn

Question? Doesn't just plain Control-N make a new folder? Bye for now, Carolyn

F12 still does with 10 and 17. Bye for now, Carolyn

Brian, as a blind user, in my opinion, and I'm way down from a lot of these listers, but I think we're working in a Windows system. Therefore, we need to learn as many Windows commands as possible.

Brian, I think that we need to know Windows strokes, since we are working in a Windows system, but, as blind users, it is imperative for us to know JAWS specific strokes. That is why, for us, there is

Thank you for this info. You just reminded me of FS training pages/webinars. I always forget about this useful resource. Elise

yes, you will need IE even if you don't ever use it. IE 11 will override 10. it maybe a little convoluted and even maybe unnecessary, but I'd uninstall Java and Flash before upgrading to IE 11. I'd

I ALSO BELIEVE IN VARIOUS METHODS, BE IT MENUS, SHORTCUTS, SCREEN READERS, ETC. WHATEVER EACH PERSON BECOMES COMFORTABLE WITH IS WHAT HE/SHE WILL STICK WITH. WE HAVE ALL LEARNED THAT THERE ARE

Brian, I believe it is important that a student focus on using the non JAWS specific commands because there are programs that are inaccessible and another solution like NVDA might work better, or how

Brian, I'm for learning as many shortcuts as possible. If that means that you may have to emphasize what happens when you separate the six-pack key from the numpad keys and other aspects, so be it.

So, then, I’m stuck with IE 11 if it successfully installs, even though it may result in lessened accessibility in comparison to IE 10? Am using Jaws 16 and windows 7 here. Tom Behler

Hi, I’m not an educator so perhaps my opinion isn’t worth much here. I for one like to know as many ways to do a thing as possible but I’m geeky and like to play with things and learn. what has
