Re: Help - trouble with my new installation of JAWS 2020
Adrian Spratt
I’m not one to recommend this normally, but it sounds like you need to do a JAWS repair. Assuming you’ve downloaded the file for the version and release you’re running, click on that file and follow the prompts. It can take several minutes, and when it’s done, you’ll need to reboot.

Hi All,
I will start by begging your patience as I try to sort out a new Dell laptop and an upgrade from JAWS 17 to JAWS 2020. I will start with a couple of things so far, and I am sure there will be more.
Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Here you go:
1. Open Internet Explorer and press, Insert + D,
to open the IE Jaws dictionary file.
2. Tab to the Tree View of languages and below the
language folders are the entries that are put in manually. So, either down
arrow or use first letter navigation to the, com , entry and with, com ,
highlighted, tab to the, Delete, button and press the spacebar.
3. Spacebar the, Yes, button to confirm you want
to delete, now press, Control + S, to save and Alt + F4 to close. Or, just
press, Alt + F4, to close and spacebar the, Yes, button to confirm the change
and save / close.
Note: If you can't find just the word, com ,
it might have a dot or period in front of it to suppress Jaws from saying,
.com.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Re: Dropbox Help
Van Lant, Robin
Le, Could it be that you are referring to the “Default Apps” section? Someone on this list a while ago taught me to type “default apps” in the Cortana search window and that opens the dialog I now use for adjusting all sorts of default app behavior.

Hi Les,
I believe the lady you're assisting needs to install the Dropbox client on her computer. This will install the Dropbox folders containing all of her Dropbox data currently in the cloud provided she signs into it with the same Dropbox account. I would expect that if she executes a pdf file from its local computer location, Adobe Acrobat should open with that file based on how you set the default file program. You can download the Dropbox client here:

Hi All, I am assisting a lady with Dropbox. Her life partner set up all of her files in the cloud, but not on her machine. He recently died, and she does not know how to use Dropbox to change its behavior. when she accesses a .pdf file, of which she has many, it downloads and opens in Edge. I downloaded Adobe Acrobat on to her machine and chose to use Adobe as the default when opening .pdf files, but they always open in Edge. I’m guessing this is because they are always downloading from the cloud. I wish to have her files stored on her machine. As I use OneDrive, I’m not familiar with how to accomplish this task.

Hi Alan, Thanks for understanding. I think her setting was different than my Dropbox. I really didn’t want to alter anything on her system. Once I was able to change her setting so that all files opened in Acrobat, that’s the only change I needed to make. I don’t recall if the Dropbox app was running. You know what they say, if it aint broke! Anyway, I have Mike’s message also, I’ll check it out for sure. Best,

Re: Dropbox Help
Les Kriegler
Hi Alan, I’d love to tell you this. However, I was signed on to this individual’s computer. I was so excited to locate this, I changed the setting and left that area. I’ve been looking and will continue to look. If I locate the setting, I’ll report back. I didn’t think it would be that hard to find, but it has been. Best,
Les

Les,
Outstanding. Glad you figured it out. Just out of curiosity, where did you locate the setting that had all PDF files opening in Edge?

Hi Alan, I wound up solving the problem. I was able to locate the setting that had all pdf files opening in Edge. I was able to change it to Adobe Acrobat. Now, in the testing I did after doing this, all the pdf’s we tried now open in Acrobat. Thanks for the assist. I had installed the Dropbox app as it turns out. What a relief! Best,
Les

Hi Les,
I believe the lady you're assisting needs to install the Dropbox client on her computer. This will install the Dropbox folders containing all of her Dropbox data currently in the cloud provided she signs into it with the same Dropbox account. I would expect that if she executes a pdf file from its local computer location, Adobe Acrobat should open with that file based on how you set the default file program. You can download the Dropbox client here:

Hi All, I am assisting a lady with Dropbox. Her life partner set up all of her files in the cloud, but not on her machine. He recently died, and she does not know how to use Dropbox to change its behavior. when she accesses a .pdf file, of which she has many, it downloads and opens in Edge. I downloaded Adobe Acrobat on to her machine and chose to use Adobe as the default when opening .pdf files, but they always open in Edge. I’m guessing this is because they are always downloading from the cloud. I wish to have her files stored on her machine. As I use OneDrive, I’m not familiar with how to accomplish this task. Any assistance will be appreciated. Best,
Les

Hi, So, if you convert an audio file to a video, what does it show onscreen on Youtube? I am just curious, because I am interested in making Youtube videos without showing myself on camera.

Re: Jaws and Blackboard

Hi James,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
My wife and I are both attending Capella University using Blackboard. ON the IT network side; of which, I am taking: Virtual labs are not accessible Third-party 50-50 Otherwise; we have no issues. I have been attending Capella for about two years and I've realized the basic platform works fine, but when the school adds their supplementary or third-party stuff is when accessibility issues may arise.

Re: Text in Sections
Zel Iscel
Hi Jasmin,
Try to copy the entire text and paste it into a new document using the Special Paste function. This is activated by pressing Control + Alt + v, then up and down arrow to unformatted text. That should eliminate the rows and columns but it doesn’t always flow.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers Zel

Hi, I had someone send me a PDF file in a Word document format, but it is extremely difficult to navigate because it is in sections and columns. Is there a way to make the document so it can be in only one section and column like a regular document?
