Hello list,

I’m trying to set up a Windows 8.1 machine and have more or less got
everything set up and am now trying to get rid of the lock screen that pops
up when turning on the desktop, but am running into difficulties.

I go through the prompts of adding the snag-in as apparently whatever group
policy that is needed was not included in my Win 8.1. When I go through the
steps however, I get an error message more or less saying that this snag-in
may not vve used with this version of Windows 8.1. To manage accounts for
this computer, use the user accounts tool in the control panel.

This isn’t getting me anywhere though.

I’ve poked around online and it seems that this issue isn’t unusual.

Anyway, most solutions entail adding the group policy via the snag-in that I
explained can’t be installed.

I also want to disable the windows hints, but again, same issue.

Has anyone delt with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?

Using Jaws 16 if it makes any difference. And yes, I know I can also try
upgrading to Windows 10, but don’t wish to do so at the moment



Any help would be appreciated.



Regards,

You can try Jaws key + F10

JAWS has a help topic on Outlook, which you can access by pressing Insert F1
twice quickly from within Outlook. Among other topics, the help covers
recommended Outlooks settings for the most accessible experience.

KathyAnne Mertha has a $90 textbook: access technology institute.

You may need to press Enter before pressing F6.

Is there a comprehensive turtorial on using Outlook 2013 with Jaws? My I SP
recently forced me to give up my comfortable Outlook Express, and I'm now
flying blind, so to speak, with Outlook. I've combed the Freedom Scientific
website, and there's some useful info there, but I can't find anything on
the basics, like configuring Outlook to work easily with Jaws. Such a
tutorial might save a bunch of traffic on this list.



Thanks,



Cliff

I went into jaws help by hitting f1.
When I picked the subject and then hit f6 to read the screen, it did not read it as I hit up or down arrow. I had to hitinsert plus 8 on the num pad to read the current line.
Did I change something in my jaws setting> What do I need to change so jaws will read line by line as I go through the help menus?

What is the short cut key to have jaws tell me what key I am hitting?

No, it's free if acquired within the first year. I don't know how updates will work, but this is something different for Ms--a long-term platform, rather than an OS which will be superseded within two years or so

Hi Jim,
A few things:
* Yes, you'll need to use Narrator. But before installing Windows 10, remove
JAWS first (all versions except 16.0.4350).
* You might be thinking of Windows 10 as a subscription service. The good
news is that it isn't - once upgraded within a year, Windows 10 will be
yours forever.
Cheers,
Joseph

Good morning,

It may be too soon to ask, but I know some of you guys probably have been playing with or exploring already.
Has anyone successfully and independently installed and used Windows 10?
I've heard/read a couple of different things about not being able to install it without Narrator or something along those lines.

Also, does anyone know about Windows 10 being free for a limited time before we'd have to actually subscribe to it? I don't like that idea. What would that mean...One day I wake up and my computer wouldn't work any more until I pay money for the Windows service?
I'm a bit confused about that.

Thanks.
Jim

Some time ago, David Whitehead posted the following detailed instructions on how to create a message rule in Outlook 2010.

Message rules
I have made a few changes to the creating a message filter in Microsoft Outlook 2010&2007
here's how I create a message rule/filter in Microsoft outlook 2010.
First I create the folder, By doing the following; Ctrl+shift+e=create new folder. Now type in the name you wish to assign to the folder. Tab once you will hear; Folder contains: Mail and Post Items This is okay, no need to change, Now tab again, You will hear something like; Tree view, and then inbox, and all of the other folders are listed, So, I arrow up to personal folders, or, you could press the letter "p"=personal folders, And then tab to okay, press enter. So now you're folder is created. Next we need to assign a rule/filter to the newly created folder, By doing the following;
1, highlight a message which you wish to create a folder for, Example; One of the messages from this group. Email clients with screen readers@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Email clients with screen readers%40yahoogroups.com 2, press applications key, up arrow and enter on, Rules sub menu, Or, you could right arrow to open. Another way to do this is: Press applications key, press the letter "s" And then press the letter "u", which will directly place you into the message wizard. Here you will see the following screen; Always Move Messages From: email clients with screen readers@yahoogroups.com <mailto:email clients with screen readers%40yahoogroups.com

Create Rule... Manage Rules & Alerts... you now need to down arrow and enter on, create rule.... Note, as I indicated, if you use the shortcuts, the letter "s"&"u" no need to arrow anywhere, since you're in the message rule wizard. 3. you will now see a screen; Create Rule When I get e mail with all of the selected conditions From email clients with screen readers@yahoogroups.com <mailto:email clients with screen readers%40yahoogroups.com by default this box is unchecked you can check this box.
When I get e mail with all of the selected conditions Subject contains [email clients with screen readers] Outlook 2007, this box is unchecked by default I would leave this box as it is.
When I get e mail with all of the selected conditions Sent to email clients with screen readers@yahoogroups.com <mailto:email clients with screen readers%40yahoogroups.com this box is unchecked by default you can check this box. Do the following Display in the New Item Alert window by default this box is unchecked, you can leave as is. Do the following:Play a selected sound: this box is unchecked by default, you can check this box,

Here you could browse for a specific sound; Move the item to folder:this box is unchecked by default, however you need to check this box, Folder...press enter here, Now, you can arrow to the particular folder, Or, you can letter navigate, Then tab okay, press enter. OK Cancel Advanced Options... now you need to tab and enter on, Advanced options...

Hi, I am actually using jaws 13 and ms office 2010 and when I go to rules it
won't let me create the rule, I see step one for conditions and step 2 but
it keeps telling me something like I'm not setting the value right.

I am using Jaws 13, ms office 2010 and windows 7

Thanks

Lelia

Aside from just the sound that notifies you of an incoming message,
many functions within Microsoft Office can come with sound
alerts--including when a file is saved or printed. To have full sound
feedback capability in Office, you need to download and install the
Office Sounds add-in, which can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7015. This
works in every edition of Office I have ever used, up to and including
2013. (Not sure about how to implement this in Office 365.)

Kind regards,

David:

I use Outlook 2013 in my workplace. And while I certainly would not
call myself a power user, I have created several folders, and I make
it a point to move manually different kinds of messages into these
different folders after they have entered my inbox.

I go to the Create Folder wizard by pressing Alt, o, and n in
succession. . As soon as I have done this, I reach a dialog box
where I can name my folder. Then I can tab a couple of times to
arrive at the Tree View where I can choose the level in the folder
hierarchy where my new folder is to reside. In other words, just by
using my Arrow keys to manipulate this Tree View, I can choose whether
my new folder will be accessible directly from the root or whether it
will be a subfolder within my Inbox or within some other core folder.

From experience, I also know that if I goof up when placing a newly

created folder, I can move it by manipulating the Folder ribbon as
well so it is fixed the way I want.

David, I know there is a chance you are asking something more complex:
such as, is there a way to make it so messages from different list
addresses go automatically into a prescribed folder other than the
general inbox?
I'm sure a way does exist to create a rule for this purpose, but I
don't know what it is. That would require input from a power user.

Kind regards,

-Kane

Hi,
Reboot jaws by pressing jaws key + windows key + F4 hope that helps.

Hi,
Navigate to your mail folders column. There you can find your email folders. You will want to locate your inbox folder that is above your email then press the application key and select new folder.

Roger,

Your "mobile version" suggestion works well. The other day I tried Jimmy's suggestion, which also worked well. This morning, I tried yours and found that the mobile version is very close to the print version I've missed for so long. I wish I'd figured it out for myself, but I'm glad you did and that you posted it.

You can make it easier to get to the mobile version link and then to the article's beginning.

1. Create a placemarker at the mobile version link. You do this by placing focus on the link, then pressing shift-control-k to bring up the JAWS placemarker dialog. Tab to "Add," then keep tabbing. You should check the box for all pages on the website and to anchor to text. In the future, each time you link to an article, press k to get right away to the mobile version link.

2. Getting to the start of the article. After clicking on the mobile version link this morning, I found that pressing 1 twice, then 6, landed focus just a line or two above the first sentence. This worked twice, so maybe it's a constant, at least until the next website upgrade.

After that, I pressed "say all" and experienced no interruptions.

From the little I've seen, it's fairly high-level--more plain language than machine language. There was a little script making the rounds on one of these lists a while back for quieting JAWS, before the ins-space came along. Some of you probably remember what I'm talking about.

Subject: RE: learning to do scripting

There is a mailing list for JAWS scripting:
http://www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts

I intend to learn scripting in the near future, as soon as I can clear some time to work on it. I have made a living as a computer programmer for the past 30 years, so I don't expect it to be difficult. It will be "just another programming language". But if you don't have experience as a programmer, then I imagine you might find it quite a challenge. You would need to not only learn the JAWS scripting language, but you'd also need to learn basic programming concepts such as syntax, build errors, iteration, conditionals, variables, data structures, programming interfaces, software design principles, project management, etc. These are all things I learned in high school and college back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, so they are ingrained in me, but they would present a significant, perhaps insurmountable, learning curve for someone new to the area and self-educating more or less in isolation.

Huh. After reading that, I guess I sound like some kind of know it all! Ha ha. That was not my intent. I was just trying to point out that JAWS scripting is, in essence, computer programming. And that's something most people spend years learning how to do well. I just want you to know what you're getting into.

Just wondering how one learns to do scripting? If you can't see the
screen

to

begin with, how do you know what to code? Scripting interests me, but
I don't know how to get started. Are there any resources that teach
this

from

the beginning from a blind point of view?

I haven't looked lately, but I think a manual was once part of the JAWS package, and I know one exists.

Not sure if you got a more intelligent response than Kevin's.
First, touch the Windows key and type
System sound
You will get an option something like, change system sounds.
Hit enter and tab twice.
Use your tab key to navigate to the tree view, if you have not landed on it
already.
Arrow down until you find new mail notification.
Tab twice to see what sound if any is selected. Any WAV sound will do but
the default is
Windows Notify.wav
If no sound is set you will need to, arrow down until you find a sound you
like or tab twice to browse for a sound and set it.
Don't forget to save your changes after setting the sound you will need to
tab to the apply button and use it.
HTH
