Kimsan,

No, if you look at the beginning of this thread, you'll see that Mr. Ted was
replying rather belatedly to a message dated 9 September, over a month old.
No need for concern, listers!

Au contraire, Monsieur Chris...

It can read a page of a document, so that certainly qualifies it to be
reading a document. Perhaps it's better to make sure you qualify what you
mean. I suspect you are saying that it does not readily replace an OCR like
Openbook or Kurzweil?

If so that is a darn rush for a beta product. Just my thoughts. JFW has always been like that though. Three betas and it's out the door. FS should release as many betas as necessary, then perhaps a release candidate then the final release.

Sorry, James&co., I thought I sent it directly to her

Far as I know, you own a copy of JAWS or Office the same way you own a
copy of a favorite LP or CD Of course, the artist owns the work ,but
you own the physical medium. In the early Wild West days, most software
manuals insisted you back up your precious media, even prior to
installing the program, for your own protection.

JFW 13 does have a limited OCR feature, useful for reading unlabeled or
graphical controls. It is not useful for reading documents.

This information is available throough FS webinars which are free in most
cases to all JAWS users.
Additionally training tutorials are available through the JAWS Hhelp menu
under Training.

Thanks to everyone for the hints and reminders. I have not used the Settings
Center before, but should have remembered about the control shift d for
default changes in all applications.

It is nice to have helpful people to ask while trying to adjust to all of
the changes and learn my way around 12.

Joni

Joni, when you tried making the change with insert-F2, I'm guessing you
skipped one step, and possibly two. To make a change apply across all
applications, you need to press control-shift-d after entering the
configuration manager but before choosing the setting. After you make your
selection, or selections, press control-s to save, then exit.

This is FYI. Dave is right to steer you to FS's new settings center for
handling settings.

Hello there;

If your wanting to use the insert+f2,
And then s=setting center,
After you enter, press ctrl+shift+d=default,
Then any change would be made globaly.

Dave, that worked! Thanks so much. The inconsistency was driving me crazy.
So is the insert F2 route just temporary, or does it not work that reliably?

When I install 13, will I have to make all of these adjustments again?

Joni

Wow, that may push me over the edge, despite Access problems which I
fully expect to remain unsolved.

Joni,

Try changing this in the Settings Center, instead. Insert+NumberRow 6

JAWS13 now allows you to set some of these more permanently in the new
"improved" JAWS Options dialog.

With JAWS 12 I have been trying to adjust JAWS options with mixed results.
When I open that option in various programs sometimes the things I change
stick and sometimes they do not.

I can place the key echo to none and it works, but when I reopen Word or
Outlook Express it is back to character echo.

I am accessing this with the insert F2 key combination. I make the changes
I want and then close the program. Should I be doing a save?

Even though I used help to read about the execute button I don't really
understand its purpose. Is there a difference between using the spacebar to
get the choices I want and using the execute button? I have been using the
spacebar and then alt c to close after making changes. I am making multiple
changes and then closing. Do the changes have to be made one at a time?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Joni

Hello this came from another list;
This is from FS.


All,



At 2 PM Eastern, you should find an update to JAWS 13 Public Beta 3. The
new version will be 13.0.241 and you will get alerted the next time JAWS
starts, after it is released.



I have included the list of changes coming in this new build for you to
review. Thanks again to everyone for the great feedback over the past
weeks.

I had a similar problem after my last SMA. I blamed my connection at
the time. Given what I saw of 12, I just let it ride.

Hi thanks a lot everybody for all the links I'm sure this will help a lot.

it is
lifemyway@yahoo.com

I am interested in knowing about this new ap you are working on.

I began that last message incorrectly. I meant to say that Joni won't need
to re-authorize even after JAWS 15, for the reasons I explain.
