Good day sir,
whenever such a think happens, press F11 to maximize the browser
window, atleast in Chrome. Keep in min though you will not be able to
access the left alt menu while the browser is maximized. You need to
press F11 again to restore the browser window to its original state again.
Best,
Nuno.

It sorta worked, it only read me one cell though, when I arrow through it doesn’t read anything else. Any other suggestions?

Check your scroll lock key, that'll do it every time.  Make sure it is off and then relaunch excel.

Hi everyone,

 

Today, Excel stopped reading cells to me entirely. I’m able to use commands such as find, but it wont read anything in the cells once whatever I’m finding is actually found. Any ideas what’s going on?  I’m only having this problem in Excel btw, Word and Outlook work just fine and I don’t use any of the other products in the suite to test them out.

Another way to do it is to press alt+h, then o, then m to get into the move/copy sheet dialog.  Select  the sheet you want to copy before, then Tab once to 'copy' and check it.  At 12:12 PM 3/3/2020, you wrote:

Hi John,

Place your cursor on the first or beginning cell
Press shift + Ctrl then the end button.  This highlights all your cells from the first cell to the last cell.  All rows and columns in your range will be highlighted.
Then press ctrl + C to copy the cells
Move to your new sheet locate the cell where you would like to begin your paste
Once you have your cursor where you want to begin press Ctrl +V to paste

If you have special paste requirements use the application button instead of the Ctrl + V combo keystrokes.

Subject: Copying contents of a sheet

Hello:
I need to copy the contents of a sheet and paste the contents into another sheet in another workbook.  The trick is that I do not know which cells in the sheet contain data.
Any suggestions on how to find out what range of cells have data.  Then the best way to select that area to copy to the new sheet.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Why would anyone trust a paid anti-virus program who developers are based in Russia?  There have been allegations that this company may even be involved in the Russian hacking scheme to influence the outcomes of the 2016 and now the 2020 elections, and that it may even have close ties to Vladimir Puten. I have no idea whether these allegations are true or not, but why take chances when Windows Security is free and totally accessible and does a satisfactory job?

Hello guys!

Thank you for letting me in in to your groups! I am a JAWS user from Poland, primarily interested in programming, sound design and other things. I have came here to discuss this great screenreader with you, ask questions and help others to the best of my ability.

The first problem I have noticed and wanted to discuss is JAWS support for the Kaspersky Total Security package. I use this software and it is essential for me to have this one pretty wellaccessible.. The competing screenreader works with it OK, however JAWS has its problems. Tab and Shift+Tab seem not to work at all while I am in the PC Cursor mode. I have to use the touch cursor to operate the software, and it is not always convenient to use this specific cursor.

Moreover this behavior is very illogical to me, as KTS’s interface seems to be standard WPF or something of that sorts.

Maybe I am doing something wrong (I’m pretty new to JFW, I use it for less than a year).

Norma,

To add to the suggestions in the thread below, you might try any of the following:

Maximize the webpage and then press JAWS key+escape to “repaint” it.

Unload and reload JAWS.

Unload JAWS 2020 and, if you have one on your system, try an earlier version. I recently noticed that JAWS 18 can accomplish some tasks that JAWS 2020 won’t.

If you haven’t already, reboot your system and start over.

For the record, I haven’t recently had accessibility problems with PayPal, but I may not have needed to execute this particular command.

PayPal has, or used to have, a recognize accessible technology expert on staff. If you can’t resolve this problem, I’m guessing they’d be receptive to working with you, especially with cancelling this transaction.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing such frustration. It’s awful when you reach the button you need and it won’t work.

Hi Norma,

Have you tried the space bar on the button?

Also, did you do insert + F5 and down arrow to the desired button?

Another thing to try is to get to the button and do insert + #3 (above the E key) which is enter key to pass through

and then try enter and/or space bar.

HTH.

Hey group,

 

I’m using Jaws 2020 and I’ve tried to activate a menu button on Paypal. Specifically, it’s in Invoice Activity. I’ve tried with Edge, Firefox 72.0.1  and Chrome 80.0.3987.122. Here’s the speech history:

 

Column 10
Actions
Remind
Button‑ 
button menu‑ collapsed‑
Column 11

 

I’ve tried PC, Jaws and Touch cursors and from the list of buttons. It doesn’t open a menu, it just takes me to the detail page of the selected invoice. (No go with NVDA, either, for what it’s worth.)

I need to cancel the invoice, and I read that option is in this menu I can’t get to open.

Ideas will be most welcome.

 

Thanks,

Norma

Check your scroll lock key, that'll do it every time.  Make sure it is off and then relaunch excel.

Hi everyone,

 

Today, Excel stopped reading cells to me entirely. I’m able to use commands such as find, but it wont read anything in the cells once whatever I’m finding is actually found. Any ideas what’s going on?  I’m only having this problem in Excel btw, Word and Outlook work just fine and I don’t use any of the other products in the suite to test them out.

 

TIA,

Sarah

Jessica,

You should be able to put JAWS in keyboard help mode by pressing Insert + 1 on the number row and then tap each key to locate the scroll lock key. I'm pretty sure all laptops should have one. Keyboard help is a toggle so you can turn it off with another Insert + 1.

Alan Lemly

Hi,

Have you tried activating the button with your virtual cursor off? Also, have you got the option simulating left click on enter enabled?
