Re: Pound Sign in Jaws
Mario
Mike, it seems that unicode numbers are 4 digits, so when holding the alt down while typing 163 and releasing the alt produces a ú but typing 0163 produces £. and of course 156 produces £.

I recall that you need to edit not only the list, but change some parameters to define a new list length? Do you perhaps still have the process? Dave Carlson Oregonian, woodworker, Engineer, Musician, and pioneer

Hi Adrian,

Yes, I use the, Jaws key + 4, keystroke quite often. I also have notes on both ansi & ascii characters, & play around with them from time to time, mainly out of extreme boredom. LOL LOL I found it interesting that typing, 1,6,3, produced 1 thing & typing, 0,1,6,3, produced another. I should know better because those are 2 totally different numbers when using ansi / ascii code. What I don't know is, when you press the NumPad 5 key 3 times on a symbol, if Jaws is giving you ansi or ascii code numbers. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Adding video to Powerpoint 2013 presentations?
Matthew Bullis
Hello, I've read the directions online for including an online video in a Powerpoint presentation. These include pressing the share and imbed buttons, then copying the link. I have access to both 2010 and 2013 versions, but it seems that the accessibility in 2013 has broken. In 2010, there's a tabbable interface where you can paste the link in, then an insert button. However, in 2013, tabbing doesn't really get anywhere. Is there indeed an accessible way to get this done, or some workaround?
Thanks, Matthew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.the-jdh.com/pipermail/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com/attachments/20150718/5b446326/attachment.html>
