Chrome I smy choice also, very fast and I like the fact that if you use multiple computers as I do and I sign in to Chrome with my gmail account all settings, extensions and so o I set up on any computer also become available on all others.

I always had one issue with Chrome and that was that it was very unreliable to copy any text. Last week I spoke to FS support about something else and ended up asking the guy. He told me to open Chrome, go into the quick settings with Jaws Key+V and type the word “select” into the search box, then tab to the results.

You end up on a virtual cursor option called “Select and Copy From”, by default this is set to Full content using onscreen highlight”.

If you press the spacebar it changes to “Virtual Cursor” and if it is set to this copying works perfectly.

I still have a few sites where Chrome doesn’t work and then I go back to IE, but for the most part Chrome is very good.

I guess now with the upcoming Jaws 2018 we’ll see how good Edge support is/will become, but in my opinion browsers are like hammers to a carpenter or saws to a woodworker, you have several and use the one which works best for the particular job or, in this case, website. They are after all free, there are no problems having Chrome and Firefox installed on a Windows 10 machine in addition to IE and Edge which are there by default so why not try each for what you do and decide what works best for you.

IE, Firefox once in awile and chrome from time to time. I really dont like the History or bookmark layout in either Firefox or Chrome.
Also some of the sluggishness or crashing isnt IE it is Jaws and it happens with Firefox and Chrome just not as often from what people say but then again I dont have that much trouble with IE.

Hi

  I like IE. Chrome doesn't play nicely with Jaws 16.

Margaret,

The Word 2016 instructions Steve gave below also seem relevant for Word 2010, so I would believe they are also relevant for 2013.  Give the second, longer instructions below a try. 

Easy way: whenever you do this and JAWS says "copyright", press Backspace once. When you press the right parenth key, Word changes what you've typed into the copyright symbol and JAWS echoes this. pressing Backspace immediately undoes the change.

More long-winded way: Press Alt, F, T to open the Options dialogue.

DownArrow to Proofing

Tab to AutoCorrect Options and press Enter to open the AutoCorrect dialogue

You should be in an edit area. Type (c), that's left parenth c right parenth

Tab to the Delete button and press it

OK out of both dialogues

You should find now typing (c) doesn't give you a copyright symbol at all.

Hope that helps,

Hello,

I have Word 2013, Windows 7, and JAWS 18.  Do you know how to take out the © sign in 2013?  Thank you in advance for this information.

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

There's two ways you can do this. First is easy but has to be done repeatedly, second is more long-winded but fixes it for good.

Easy way: whenever you do this and JAWS says "copyright", press Backspace once. When you press the right parenth key, Word changes what you've typed into the copyright symbol and JAWS echoes this. pressing Backspace immediately undoes the change.

Hello,

I have lost the answer to this question.  Please write back and tell me how to make the computer not do the © sign unless I want it.

I also meant to say that the aspect ratio is maintained, and that's part of the reason for the rotation on portrait orientation pictures.

If you know that all the photos you're working on are the more typical landscape orientation no rotation comes into play at all, so keep that in mind.  My most frequent use of this utility is downsizing photos taken at very high resolution to make them "web posting friendly," which usually means either 640x480 or 1024x768.

Okay, what is the spacing combo? Is it the control 1, 2, or 5?

Hi James,

You can set the spacing for a document before typing.  If you have already typed the document, you can make changes by selecting the portion you want to change and then pressing the spacing key combo you desire.  This action will only change the portion you select. 

You can make as many changes as is necessary for your document.

Double spacing is control-2, single is control-1 and 1.5 spacing is control-5.  I put the others there in case you might need them some time.

Hi all, What is the keystroke to doublespace your document within word for 2007? Will the same keystrokes apply to 2010, 2013, and 2016 as well?

Thanks for any help.

Hi all
When I had Windows 7 I always used Internet Explorer as my main browser, though from time to time I also used Firefox a bit.

Now with Windows 10 it feels to me like Internet Explorer isn’t quite cutting it for me anymore. It’s often slow and sluggish and it also crashes from time to time giving all sorts of errors.

I think it’s time to try something else and switch over to that as my primary browser.
I haven’t tried Chrome yet, but from what I understand it’s also accessible with Jaws these days and I know Firefox is also accessible. So my question, which of the 2 do you prefer to use and why? Which do you find most accessible and easier to use?

Thanks

Just get a Ipad and a full size bluetooth keyboard and install word on it. It doesnt even have to be the newest gen. Save some money and get a used 2nd or 3rd gen.
Not sure about the cost of word for the Ipad...

Hi gang: Recently, I related to you a horror incident where I accepted a password-protected document as a translation assignment and ran into several issues, one being a messed-up [normal] Word template. After many trials and tribulations, I got that straightened out. The same agency just sent me an inquiry about doing a large project. These are, with the exception of system crashes and messed-up templates resulting from encryption, good jobs, nice and text-based.

 

My thought is to find an affordable send-and-receive device that will let me inoculate my regular desktop machine from the hassles of inadvertent changes caused by these file transfers. I did ask one of the agency directors if anybody else had had difficulty with this encryption issue, and she said, sighing, “yes.”

 

Advice appreciated regarding:

operating system—assignments tend to be Word documents.

compatibility with JAWS?

Tablet, netbook, or laptop? (slimness and portability preferred).

Keyboard, external or built-in? I do have a cordless Logitech Keyboard that I use on my music computer. It has a little transmitter unit that’s USB connected. Could I use that in case I need an external keyboard? Or would a Bluetooth one be better, or one that’s incorporated on the device? I’m not overly fond of the flat on-screen keyboards, typing on that is slow.

Brands—Dell Inspiron, Lenovo, Acer?

Software--—I have Office already installed by Dell when I bought my desktop. would I have to buy that or do some of these devices have Office installed?

I realize I need to ask questions if I check devices out in a store, but if any of you have some pointers, it would help me head in the right direction.
