There are a few ways of achieving what you want.

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

New American Bible: The Leading Catholic Resource for Understanding Holy Scripture 

by Harper Bibles
The New American Bible revised edition is more than a mere Bible translation. Authorized by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the New American Bible seeks to provide the best resource for understanding the church's sacred Scripture. To begin with, the translation beautifully and accurately conveys the word of God in English, using the most recent scholarly resources available and translating directly from the original languages. While the Bible plays a central role in the church's life, it is also important to remember that it is an ancient book written over several centuries. It carries a rich tradition of interpretation over even more centuries. That is why the many scholars and church teachers who worked years on this project did more than provide a clear and accessible translation; they also sought to provide additional help and guidance for those who truly want to understand what they are reading: Each book of the Bible begins with an introduction, providing the historical context of the work, its literary style, its main themes, its use in the history of the church, as well as an outline of the contents. As you read the Scriptures, notes have been provided at the bottom of the page offering explanations for particular passages, terms, and concepts. Since Scripture often refers to itself, a system of cross-references are provided so you can see where else historical figures, particular stories, or similar concepts are also treated in the Bible. At the end of the Bible, sixteen pages of color maps are provided to help orient the Bible's stories in their geographical context.

Hi, Guys.
Using JFW2018 with Win10 something-or-other. I know that speech can be
turned off temporarily within a program; that it will come back when
you alt+tab away from the program; and that you have to turn it back
off when you alt+tab back to the program.

Is there a way to keep speech off throughout my computer session but
still see Braille on the display?

Thanks,
Dani

Hi All,

I'm asking this for a subscriber of several Groups.io groups including this one, but he has to change his email address for all groups he's subscribed to. Would someone please provide steps for how this is done?

I can't do it at this time because of prior commitments. All help is appreciated.

Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Literally, unsubscribe from the current email he's using and resubscribe with the new one.  I can't tell you what the unsubscribe or subcribe addresses are, but he can send a message to the help address at each of those groups, or, more easily, just look at the post address and modify the part ahead of the at sign with +unsubscribe or +subscribe, respectively.

Alt-H, P, G takes you to the paragraph dialogue, in which there is a “tabs” button that allows you to adjust tab stops. There are radio buttons for left/right/decimal alignment.

How do I set a decimal tab or a right tab in word without using a mouse?

I've noticed crashes on some sites but others work fine.  Version 80 was fine for me, it was 80.2 that did me in.  Or was when I updated JAWS to the latest build.


I continue to use Firefox with the Reader (seems to be highly similar to Edge's Immersive Reader   on sites where I can like audible.com, Political Wire etc.

Using Win10 version 1909, JAWS 2020 for August and Firefox 80.

Recently someone else on this list reported crashes with Mozilla Firefox. At the time I didn't know what to think about the problem but I am now encountering this and I noticed it after Firefox updated to version 80. After a short period of time of just navigating through a Web page Firefox reports that the tab has crashed and presents me with a button to restore the tab. These crashes are rather frequent. I only have one extension running which is for Cisco Webex and I have disabled this extension to see if this makes a difference. I'm not entirely sure it's just a JAWS issue as I encountered this crash when testing with NVDA although I so far haven't tried Firefox 80 with NVDA long enough to determine if the crashing is happening as frequently. Have others noticed this and is there a workaround for this?
