Re: create a rule for this list
I changed my subscription to individual messages, and thanks to Mike B's reply I can definitively state that I was wrong, completely wrong, about the [jfw].
But, both the To: and Reply-To: fields in the message are main@jfw.groups.io So long as your filter is does an "or" as Mike has specified for the value in either to To: or CC: fields you should be fine, but I'd start out just filtering on To: and see if that is enough. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Hi Lenny,
Because people will use different criteria from
their address book when sending to this group I've had to use both the, To &
CC field option, Below is what I use when creating a message rule for this
group.
Apply this rule after the message arrives Where
the To or CC line contains 'jfw@groups.io'
or 'main@jfw.groups.io'
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Re: create a rule for this list
I believe that:
[jfw] shows up in the subject of any message from this group. But it's been ages since I used the e-mail interface. But I know that the NVDA group uses [nvda] and Android Accessibility has [androidaccessibility]. It would only make sense that this group uses [jfw] in all its subjects when e-mail is sent. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

learned a long time back that this was incorrect, and the way to filter out a list is to put it in the "to" field. So to filter this list, in the to field, put: main@jfw.groups.io and you can send all messages that were sent to this list to another folder. HTH. Glenn

Re: Word 365 Font, Line Spacing & Margins
Mike B
Hi Robin,
Here's more clarification that's very interesting. This
comes from the article URL George B posted.
Now pay attention to the Line Spacing setting. Use the
drop-down list to choose Exactly, and then in the box to the right of the
drop-down list enter your
calculated line spacing of 25.9 points. You should also make sure that the Don't Add Space check box is clear if you put anything in the After box; if you set the After box to 0 then the Don't Add Space check box doesn't really matter. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Hi Robin,
In your last step it says; Tab to the checkbox that asks if you want space between each paragraph of the same type. Uncheck this box.
In Word 2010 it says; Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style, checkbox checked.
I left mine checked since it sounds like the wording has changed between Word 2010 and Word 365.
I'm only mentioning this in case others might get confused by the difference in the wording. Thanks again.

My recommendation is to open a blank document. Press the applications key or shift+f10, and then the letter f for fonts.

Then either shift tab a bunch or continue tabbing a bunch to set as default and hit space bar, then a dialog comes up that is defaulting to this document only, tab twice to the radio button and arrow down once to for all documents based on the normal template and hit enter. She may need another enter on OK to get it to stick. For the Margins, press Alt+p which puts you on the Layout tab, arrow down once and Margin is the first item. Hit space on that and then she can either do a custom or arrow through and find 1 inch margins. And select that. One more thing I would do that probably means she will need to go back to Layout with Alt+p and down arrow, then tab to the settings for before Paragraph and after Paragraph and make sure they are both set to 0.

Re: saving a message in a folder
Anna,
If you have not turned on Gmail's own keyboard shortcuts, definitely do so. That's discussed in, Use Gmail with a screen reader - Gmail Help. Gmail does not use the typical terminology of folder for their webmail interface, but instead calls them labels (and these are, behind the scenes, implemented as folders - don' task me why they ever chose to use the labels terminology). The end of the above noted page discusses the creation of labels and applying a label to a message or group of messages. If you know that there are certain messages, based on something like who's sent them, something in the subject field, etc., that you want in a specific folder (label) it makes much more sense to create filters in Gmail to handle this for you as messages come in. I created a tutorial dedicated to this, Creating IMAP Labels (Folders) and Filters for Gmail. Here are several more tutorials I've created that may prove useful to you at some point:
I am not certain what it is that you want to know about navigating conversation view (threaded messages) but it's touched on briefly in the Gmail help page I gave the link to earlier. I have not watched it, but there is a YouTube item that may prove to be helpful to you: Using the Online Gmail Client with NVDA - YouTube

On your first question, let me tell you how I do it in Outlook 2016 and hope it works the same for you. Close the message and place focus next to it in the message list. Press control-shift-v. You will be asked for the name of the folder where you wish to save the message. Start typing until you hear the folder's name. then press enter.

If you hit enter again after being popped out of the field you will keep your place. I rarely have this issue but it seems to happen in web mail apps. As for saving emails to a folder there is a save function under the menu bar. After hitting enter on this you ought to save the email as if saving a regular file such as a document. And as for the arrowing popping you out of the subject it means that the cursor has moved beyond the field's limits. Hopes this helps. Vaughn

Re: Accessible System Backup Image software, (WAS) the latest update to jaws 2020 giving me a fit
James Bentley
Hello,
I agree that the ability to create a boot media has nothing to do with Jaws being able to read accessible check boxes.
If using a recent version of Jaws with Windows 10 and a version of Image for Windows that is a couple years old, the directions that I wrote in a prior post should assist you in seeing how the check boxes are checked.
Try looking in settings and hit the space bar on accessible check boxes. This should allow Jaws to see what is checked in some of the menus if you use the Jaws cursor.
However, in some parts of the menus, instead of a check box, you will only get a “plus sign” to let you know that something is checked.

Hi! Its not the problem to boot from the media. The problem is that the checkboxes in the interface not is accessible unless you change something in an ini-file, but I can not figure out what to change. Narrator is working fine else.

I think it is what ever you get accustomed to using. Image for Windows did cost me around $40, but it has always worked to restore my hard drives.
You can use IFW to create a recovery disk that includes Narrator so you have a screen reader to use to restore your PC. That is an absolute necessity if Windows is so messed up that your PC won’t boot up in to Windows.
Since this recovery disk has to be bootable for disaster recovery, you would need to change your PC’s boot sequence in the BIOS. That requires eye sight but it is a one time change.
In my case, instead of getting someone to change my boot sequence in the BIOS, I use F11 and some additional key strokes to force Windows to boot up from the boot media which can be either a DVD or a thumb drive again, created with the IFW software.
Its been so long since I created the boot media that I do not have clear recollection as to how it was accomplished. The directions are in the IFW manual. I suspect that there are several members on these list who can provide you with the directions to create the boot media and provide directions on how to get a crippled PC to boot from the media if you do not want to get someone to change your boot sequence in your PC’s BIOS.
The best of luck,

And, in my Version of Image for Windows, something like V3... there is a check box in settings that is called accessible check boxes. You can check this to cause Jaws to see the state of the check boxes.
But, You will still have to use the Jaws/or equivalent cursor to tell that they are checked in some places in the menus. Also, in some places in the menus, you will see a PLUS SIGN instead of a checkbox for example, to indicate that a drive has been selected to be added to the back up process.
In my particular case, on all 3 of my laptops, I just hit the space bar to put a PLUS SIGN in front of my primary drive/C drive to do a full back up. IFW has never let me down with Windows 7 or Windows 10 and I have done recoveries on all 3.

Hi! I use Image for Windows, but do you know how to make the checkboxes accessible? It is something in an ini-file.

Terabyte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite is 100% accessible beginning to end, including the recovery disk. There's an option to set in an INI file when building the recovery disk that will automatically start Narrator when said disk is booted. Works a treat, as they say. Best fifty bucks you'll ever spend on your computer. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com

Hi! Its not the problem to boot from the media. The problem is that the checkboxes in the interface not is accessible unless you change something in an ini-file, but I can not figure out what to change. Narrator is working fine else.

I think it is what ever you get accustomed to using. Image for Windows did cost me around $40, but it has always worked to restore my hard drives.
You can use IFW to create a recovery disk that includes Narrator so you have a screen reader to use to restore your PC. That is an absolute necessity if Windows is so messed up that your PC won’t boot up in to Windows.
Since this recovery disk has to be bootable for disaster recovery, you would need to change your PC’s boot sequence in the BIOS. That requires eye sight but it is a one time change.
In my case, instead of getting someone to change my boot sequence in the BIOS, I use F11 and some additional key strokes to force Windows to boot up from the boot media which can be either a DVD or a thumb drive again, created with the IFW software.
Its been so long since I created the boot media that I do not have clear recollection as to how it was accomplished. The directions are in the IFW manual. I suspect that there are several members on these list who can provide you with the directions to create the boot media and provide directions on how to get a crippled PC to boot from the media if you do not want to get someone to change your boot sequence in your PC’s BIOS.
The best of luck,

Is that image for Windows a good solution? I am also searching for a good backup software.
