Re: Google docs again
HAMILTON
Toggling the virtual cursor back on with insert z "once", not "twice", should work to turn the virtual cursor back on. I am not a "google" user; but, that is how it works elsewhere - as far as I know.

Re: How can I use JAWS to identify a mysterious character?
Mario
David, the alt+x must be a feature in JAWS 17? because I'm using J16 and alt+x gives me a ding sound.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
the way I know is to navigate to the character and press the numpad 5 three times quickly. this should give the ASCII value or the Unicode if it is a symbol. then just press the numpad 5 key once to toggle off the mode, because if you keep navigating character by character, you'll get the ASCII/unicode of the next/previous character/symbol. I'm not sure what the laptop equivalent would be if you don't have a numpad.

Re: JAWS 14 with MS Office 2013 or 2016?
Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
Sounds like a plan. From what I hear, 2016 is not a lot better—no million-dollar improvement to make me want to switch. But, if I were back in 2003, I might have a different perspective. Some cool things have happened since then, and I strongly recommend you consider it. The new PDF capabilities dovetail nicely with JAWS’ new PDF capabilities, so you wind up with a really strong package, especially if your employer participates in Microsoft’s discount program. You get a full-featured suite for pennies on the dollar.

So it's becoming high time I give thought to retiring my old installation of Office 2003. For reasons a-plenty, most of them outlined on this list, I'm holding off on JAWS 16 or 17 for the next little while. So my question would be this. How useable are later versions of Office, either 2013 or 2016, with JAWS? I fully expect just about everything to require a learning curve, but if half of that learning curve isn't telling JAWS not to do something dumb, then I may just go for it anyway. Thoughts and opinions are, of course, always welcome and even encouraged.

Re: Speaking symbols
Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
Much of that is punctuation. You can play around with graphics and symbols under Settings Center. The explanation is not all that intuitive, but I think I understand. It would probably make more sense if I started to use it.

Re: How can I use JAWS to identify a mysterious character?
David Bailes
Hi Tim, I think the following should work in word - I've tested it in wordpad. To find out the hex value of a character, move to the character after that character and press alt+x. The character is replaced by the hex value, and this value is selected. You can go back to the original character by pressing alt+x again. Notes: 1. normally using alt+x, is used for inserting Unicode characters using their hex value, rather than the other way round. 2. This won't word for the characters a,b,c,d,e, and f, because they're used in hex.
David.

How can I use JAWS to identify a mysterious character?
Tim Ford
Hi All,
I have a document that has, scattered throughout, a lot of mysterious
consecutive characters that I want to delete globally using Word. However,
JAWS describes them only as “blank” (without the “). I vaguely recall back
in my DOS days about being able to enter the ASCII number for a character to
produce it. Is there a keystroke in JAWS whereby I can put my cursor on
the mysterious character, and find out what it is in terms of an ASCII number,
then enter that into the global search and replace?
