Yes, that’s what I’m talking about Go to the messenger website. There is a direct link to the microsft store where the app can be downloaded. You can probably do a search at the store itself too but the last time I tried that, I couldn’t seem to get the right result to come up/activate so I think going through the web is preferrable, but it’s up to you. Anyway, once you click “get”, the software will install. Once tha’ts done I open windows search and start typing in “messenger”. It will come up and you can work with it from there.

hi can you get the messenger app for your PC? So that you don't have to go to the messenger web site to use it. And if so where do you go to get it and what is the best way to install it? On 6/16/2020 8:13 AM, JM Casey wrote:

Re: jaws cutting in and out with air pods bluetooth headset

What is the option as this happens with me with my hearing aids. The receiver is plugged into the headphone jack on my computer and sometimes JAWS cuts out or does not work at all. I just wait for a few seconds, 15-20 and JAWS starts working again.

Re: Reading PDF Documents with Line Numbers
If one opens a PDF file using MS-Word, you can use the advanced find feature to find the first non-numeric character in the document.
1. Once the document is open in Word, hit ALT+H,FD,A to open the advanced search (AKA Find and Replace) dialog, you will only be using the Find tab, not replace, and the Find tab is what should open by default. 2. The first time you open the dialog in Word, if you have started Word afresh, you will not be showing the group of checkboxes you need to have access to. There is a More button, activate it, or press ALT+M. Either method gets the advanced find option checkboxes visible and accessible. Once you have done this, and step 3, if you have not closed MS-Word, when you bring up the advanced find dialog again the Use Wildcards checkbox will remain checked. But if you close word, and open it again, you will have to repeat this step and step 3. 3. Navigate to the Use wildcards checkbox, and check it, or use ALT+U to toggle it on. 4. Navigate back to the Find what edit box, or hit ALT+N to throw focus there. In that box, enter exactly what follows, starting with the open square bracket to the end of th the line: [a-z][A-Z] 5. Navigate to the Find Next button, and activate it, or use ALT+F to activate it. This should take you to the first lowercase or uppercase character in the document, bypassing all numeric characters that occur prior to it. 6. Close the dialog, and you should have focus on that first letter in the first line of words in your converted PDF. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Re: I need a refresher course for windows media player. frown.
Ripping a CD Using Windows Media Player What follows presumes that you will be ripping to MP3 format. Please read all the way through the instructions first, as the information about the MP3Gain Utility and setting up a staging folder for it are every bit as important as the basics of setting up CD ripping. There is a separate set of instructions focusing on using MP3Gain itself. 1. Open Windows Media Player (WMP) and insert a CD. You can stop it as soon as it starts playing. You cannot do the steps that follow unless an audio CD is in the tray and its tracks have been recognized by WMP. 2. Once the CD has been stopped, hit ALT+E to open the Rip Settings dropdown menu. Make sure you select the file format and audio quality level you wish to have used on future automatic rips. 3. If you happen to have closed the Rip Settings menu ALT+E will open it again. There are two entries in this menu that immediately follow the Audio Quality entry: a. Rip CD Automatically b. Eject CD after ripping both are check toggles and can be used in whatever combination you'd like. If your goal is to always just rip a CD immediately without playing it (unless you press the Play button) then both of these should be checked. That's it. From the point you've got both of those boxes checked if you insert a CD that has not already been ripped it will immediately be ripped to the location you've set up for your music library (for most of us that's the Music library that Windows has set up out of the box, but it can be changed) and ejected when the rip is complete (or has failed at some point - which is rare). If you are ripping to MP3 format, and intend to use your resulting files on various players, I strongly suggest you take a look at the free MP3Gain utility. It saves both your sanity and your ears since the differences in the volume levels used for different albums is substantial. The program does a statistical analysis of how loud a given track "sounds to the human ear" and adds a tag at the start of the file to adjust it to a target volume (and 89.0 db is their default, and works well). It does not reencode the file so it has no impact on the sound quality. I also strongly suggest that you do the following in Windows Media Player so that freshly ripped files go to their own staging folder to be processed with MP3Gain rather than directly into your Music Library, which is where ripped content would go by default: 1. Open the Tools Menu (ALT+T) then choose Options (O). 2. Navigate to the Rip Music tab. 3. In the Rip music to this location section, there will be a folder listed, which defaults to your Music library. Activate the Change button and then, if you’ve created the folder you want to use ahead of time, navigate to it and activate the OK button. If you didn’t create it ahead of time, navigate to the folder where you want it to be created, then hit the Create New Folder button, give the new folder a name, then hit OK. I suggest using your Documents folder and to have a specific folder under there named something like For MP3Gain Processing, so it’s obvious what’s in there needs to be processed. 4. You can also take this opportunity to recheck your settings under the Rip settings section to ensure that you have the checkboxes for Rip CD automatically and Eject CD after ripping are both checked and your MP3 bit rate (Audio Quality) is set where you want it. I always use the maximum of 320 Kbps, but many don’t go beyond 192 Kbps. That choice is entirely yours. 5. Activate the OK button to close the Options dialog. If you checked both checkboxes, going forward any time you insert a CD when Windows Media Player is running it will automatically rip the contents to your staging folder and then eject the CD once the rip process is complete. A rip for most CDs takes several minutes, at most, but the longer the CD the longer the rip time. You will move the music files from your staging folder to your actual Music library after you have processed them with MP3Gain. --Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Here are a couple of notes for this:
From: Humberto Avila
What I usually do is go in Word, then press ALT+T followed by the A key. Trust me, this works still. This brings me to the Word autocorrect options dialog. From here, I would press the Control+Tab keystroke about 3 times till I hear the “Autoformat as you type” page. Hitting Tab then brings me through all the options available. You can turn off automatic bulleted list, numbered lists ETC, ETC and more ETC. :) :) There are a plethora and myriad of options you can check off here. Hope this is helpful! You can also get to the
Autocorrect options dialog through the Word general options, with ALT+F, then T.
Humberto From: Poppa Bear
Here are the steps in Mail, they work in Word as well. I removed step 2 because it is no longer relevant in newer versions of Word. 1. From the File tab, click Options, Alt/F then letter T. 3. In the Proofing section, click AutoCorrect
Options.
4. Click the AutoFormat As You Type
tab.
5. In the Apply as you type section, un-check
Automatic bulleted lists and Automatic numbered lists.
6. Click OK on each dialog box to return to your
mailbox.
To kill numbering, press control + shift +
n. In effect, you are switching to "normal" style. The same
keystroke works in Microsoft Word. After you
do that, there will be no numbering. To resume numbering, move up to the last numbered paragraph, press control + shift + c to copy formatting. Then, move down to where you want numbering to resume. Press control + shift + v to paste formatting. Poppa Bear Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
