I don’t think even sighted people can fill out pdf forms on the computer. They have to print them out and fill them in. Judy & Libby

How are people filling out pdf files these days my computer tries to load edge that a disaster. Then I open the file with chrome and well no It won’t let me fill in the file that way either. Any ideas?

Bill, I will need to perform this in Outlook, as well, correct?

Hi, Rick.

1. Open Word.

2. Press JAWS key plus V to open Quick Settings.

3. In the search box, type

outline

4. Arrow down to where it says:

Outline level checked

5. Press SPACE to uncheck.

6. TAB to OK, and press ENTER.

That's it.

Hi Bill,

Please forgive my ignorance, would you please offer step by step instructions to find this?

Thank you,

Rick

Go into Quick Settings and make sure

Outline Level Indication is unchecked‑

What needs to stop the level messages from Jaws reading them?

try the following;

1, open word,

2, press insert+6 on the numbers row,

3, type spelling into the search edit,

4, down arrow you will see/hear,

detect spelling while navigating,

it's set to on, you need to press spacebar to turn it off,

note, you'll need to press ctrl+shift+d=default,

make sure you tab to ok after making the changes.

hope this helps.

Hi all,

I am resending this with the subject line to properly indicate my line/focus...

Since I had to go and completely uninstall/re-install jaws and all components, I find the following and ask if you can help this not do this...

as I add a number list, I then hear automatic spelling error. How do I turn off automatic spelling?

As I arrow through the numbered list and out thereof, I hear level 1 when entering the said list and level 0 when I exit this list. How do I turn this feature off to not state levels?

Thank you for your help,

Rick

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions regarding accessible backup image software.

 

I am not an advanced assistive technology computer user, so I need to be careful in terms of what I choose to do here.

 

But, these suggestions have given me a lot to consider, and I’m saving them for future reference.

 

I will continue to read additional contributions to this thread with interest, and I hope they help others as well.

The price is now down to under $40.  Since they give you a 30-day free trial, there's absolutely nothing to lose if you want to try it out.  I'd definitely suggest doing a full system image backup, and then restore, on a non-primary machine if you have a second machine around, just to have had the end to end experience.

Works well, except for all the data it collects, they make Google look like a privacy watchdog.

And what is the reason for  your aversion to the new chromium based Edge browser or is there some strange reason why you don’t like any chromium based browser be it Google Chrome, Edge, Brave etc.

?

Hello Milton:

 

Why on earth would Patrick use the temporary JAWS authorization, if you had been following his posts on the problems he had with it, you would know, that would be the last thing he would want or, wish to do.

 

Personally, I would not touch Microsoft Edge with a bargepole, no matter what version it is.

Hi,

 

I will assume that you have this version number of the new Microsoft Edge:

Microsoft Edge Version 81.0.416.68

 

You also need to be running the latest version and build:

Version 2020.2004.66

 

This is JAWS 2020. This build came out earlier this week.

 

If you don’t have JAWS 2020 and this latest build you can download a free use of JAWS from the Freedom Scientific website which will be good until the end of June.

Hi All,

 

I have just installed the new chrome edge (stable version).

Can anyone make sense of this so called new brilliant browser?

No matter what i do in settings, it still insists on using the “bing” virus as a search engine. I imported my settings from google chrome, and it ignored them completely.

It wont let me edit a profile.

However, it keeps adding them. Now i have “profile1” and “profile2”.

Has anyone got rid of this “thing” after installing it?

Can someone with a science degree tell me how to use this piece of what seems to be rubbish?

Sorry, i don’t mean to be sarcastic, but i am sick and tired of Microsoft saying that their things are great, only to find, that they just don’t work with jaws.
