just a suggestion, and sorry if you tried this already, but... have you
tried using another screen reader like NVDA or Narrator? if you can save
the document as usual, consider performing a repair on JAWS. maybe some
part of JAWS went awry and needs to be fixed. then try again with JAWS
loaded.

Subject: Word 2010 Save Document Keystroke Not Working

Hi All,

Running Windows 7, Office 2010 Home & Student, & Jaws 16. When I create a
word .docx, & press either, Control + S, Alt + F, then A, or F12 to save the
document I do not get a save dialogue to name the file as whatever I want to
name it. The document just flat out disappears, & I can't find it anywhere!
I know where it's suppose to save to if it gets closed without being saved,
but like I said, I can't find where it's supposed to go or anywhere else!
I'm all out of ideas, would y'all please come to my rescue, & tell me what
the hell is happening?! LOL All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
much.

Take care. Mike. Dodgers, try again next year!

By focus I mean that nothing in the website reads. If I arrow nothing happens. If I do a say all nothing happens. If I hit insert f6 it says no headings. Insert f7 says no links, etc.

I did get the jaws cursor to read on the page.

If I hit f6 I can access the address line. Hit f6 again and I can get the favorite buttons. Nothing gets me to the body of the web article.

What do you mean by focus? I use Chrome with Jaws 2018 and have no issues.

Good morning Listers: Installed J2018 and everything worked great for a day or so. Then last night J2018 would not focus on any website using Chrome.

I have enough sight to see that the page is there as it usually is, but I cannot get J2018 to focus. Have tried all key combos I know of to obtain focus. And, yes, I have restarted the computer.

J18 still works Okay, fortunately.

Any suggestions?

I purchased an ElBraille 14 about three months ago to use in place of
my Hims Braille Sense 32 cell notetaker.

First, my understanding was that you might be able to use the
ElBraille in place of a main computer has proven to be wrong. The
ElBraille has a tablet processor, which is not as fast and responsive
as my three year old desk top computer. It is similar in speed to my
Asus tablet I purchased around three years ago. Although, I do not
use the Asus tablet enough to have a good comparison, and my ElBraille
14 may be faster, it is not as fast and responsive as my desk top

I do not use OpenBook or OCR on the Elbraile. I believe you will need
Jaws 18. You will want to buy a USB hub to give you more than one USB
port, and I also bought an HDMI adapter with a regular monitor port
for my wife to be able to give me some feedback.

Running a computer just using the Focus 14 key board has been a
learning curve. I did cheat for a while and connected a regular key

The Braille translation table in Jaws does have a problem, it
recognizes dg as the degrees symbol in words. For example, budget is
pronounced bu-degrees-et. I am not sure if Jaws 2018 has an updated
translation that has corrected this. This is a Braille translation
problem, not an ElBraille problem. Also, I have not heard yet if I
can update my ElBraille to run Jaws 2018, which I am running on the rest

There are times that I wish it was a little snappier running Outlook,
Word, and Excel, but it isn't too bad. I had been using the ElNotes
program to take notes, until I just decided today to use Wordpad instead.

The makers of the ElBraille like Fire Fox, and I do not use it. I had
started using Google Chrome, but there was problems typing into edit
fields with the Braille key board when using Chrome, which I am not
sure if this is an ElBraille problem or Jaws, but I suspect it is a
Jaws problem. VFO recommended I use Internet Explorer and Ron Miller
help me get Internet Explorer to be my default browser.

Keep in mind that this is not a VFO product, and VFO did not have a
dedicated support person for the ElBraille when I last called tech

Ron Miller from VFO did take the time to talk with me when I was
having some initial challenges with ElBraille. I have found it easier
and quicker to send questions direct to the Elita Group who made the
ElBraille, and they do respond fairly quickly.

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions.
I still believe the best notetaker in the future will be a full
featured windows computer or tablet, which is why I am willing to go
through the challenge of using the ElBraille.

Hi all, I am a JAWS 17 user, and I am interested to know if anyone
here Has n El Braille 14, or knows any Users of the El Braille 14 by
Freedom Scientific? I would like to get some first-hand user feedback
on how it works for them. Particularly with regard to using JAWS and
the open book software and pearl OCR camera. I intend to use the
Pearl, the El Braille 40 (when it becomes US available),and related
software to facilitate my literary Braille occupation. Thanks in advance

Try opening Outlook in safe mode see if you have the same problems

Try Outlook with NVDA & see if you have the same problems.

I’m the one who posted about this problem yesterday, and it is continuing.

I’m not sure if it’s a Jaws issue or a Microsoft issue, but it is very disruptive to say the least.

I’d appreciate any suggested fixes if anyone has them.

Hi,

Somebody posted earlier about this. I was away for a couple of weeks and was just using my Windows 10 laptop, but when I was at work today where I still run Windows 7 along with Office 2016 via Office 365 subscription and Jaws 2018 the same thing is now happening as well.

If I start a new message and start typing a few letters so the auto complete should come up Outlook crashes.

I really hate Microsoft for screwing up Office all the time lately, Excel still crashes as well as soon as I type the equals sign to start a formula and FS or Microsoft barely fixes something when an Office update comes out and it’s messed up all over again.

Regards,

Sieghard

Group,

When typing a message in Outlook 2010, using JAWS 18, I have an annoying occurrence.  When I type a number using the superscript letters following the number, JAWS reads it by announcing superscript.  For example, if I type 3^rd, JAWS does not read it as third.  Hope that makes sense…  I have explored all kinds of settings but I can’t seem to figure out how to resolve this.

Thanks in advance,

Mark
