That is a tough job a family member who is sighted does it,she has moved from UK to New Zealand. I wonder if Bryan carver director of technical support at the St. Petersburg address may help,he is Blind now but was once sighted. It is just a thought.He replied to me when other Fs techies did not or were not right i.e. Dan Clark and Eric damery, Bryan carver may understand.What do you have to lose? Dorothy

The xp laptop goes via a wireless connection and both have jaws 12 on them and the person I emailed said it was not due to dell being wary of new battery "just turn it off and reload" and it has been ok since, computers just get things wrong at times. Regarding the fact that jaws reads things wrongly, if set to white texton black, that is a laptop problem the problem of white font on black background is a real one,but on windows 7, is less of an issue. On laptop I used lunar for a while to use in inverse mode,but I have removed it now, as the xp laptop is old and doesnot have a lotof resources I just put up with the screen. That problem was never solved by fs by the way.Magic was no good,Lunar a dolphin product was. I see I have referred to 2 issues in one reply, sorry if it is confusing!

Other day I am told I am using an unknown device that it does not recognise a usb device. I have not touched the delland no new device is on no wires are loose. I have a laptop that I have treated to a new battery,I wonder if they are partof a work group if it could have detected it, it is the right battery. I email a friend who says"no it cannot be that,turn off the desktop and wait and reload. I do this and all seems ok jaws does not mention any such thing now. However now it says the screen resolution is not set at the very high resolution it likes I have not altered it I turn off dell again and reload it and this time no complaints, However I am baffled,Jaws I am sure cannot be to blame it is being given information that is untrue There was no unknown device at all if the resolution had altered it put itself right However I cannot keep turning the computer on and off all day! any ideas? thanks.

Re: Citation managers that are accessible with JAWS
Kirsten Edmondson <kirsten.edmondson@...>
Do you mean programs like endnote?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I have at times used msword 2007 to do citations and get references right but I haven't played with it enough to get it to work. Endnote is apparently very good but I haven't tried it out for its accessibility capabilities, but if anyone else has I'd love to hear a verdict. I found it tricky to get APA to work with MSWord 2007/10 but I know it potentially does, so it was more likely I was being daft, and I decided it would just be quicker to use my own brain. I just do it all from my head and I have never had any formatting problems with it. I don't think it's valid to say "I can't do it because I'm blind" but I do think it's valid to say "it's more difficult because I'm blind". That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Kirsten.

Chris,
NO, I didn't take it that way at all. It is just nice to have something (a tool) to use that would make the job just a tad easier. I think all students should know the basic format of creating a citation for their papers, but tools to make it easier is always nice. Peace, Alicia

They have had some changes to the MLA format since the 90's that make it a little bit tougher to get it right, but it can be done. It is a bit tedious though and if there is something that will drastically reduce the amount of time building a reference page (sorry I am an APA person), then why not use it? The reference manual is set up very handy for people who have some vision or for the sighted, but not very well for the totally blind. Just my thoughts. Alicia

Re: Citation managers that are accessible with JAWS
Drew Hunthausen
Citations have always been a pain for me whether
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It's a work sited page for MLA or a bibliography for APA. What I've done in the past is have someone help me format the page after I have all my references in place. It does take some time, as it has to be formatted. My college recently updated there library database and it is very extensive. The searching is not all that hard with jaws, but they have a feature called citation linker which formats the citation for the reference in whatever format you choose. You can then copy and paste it into a word document. I had a little help with this as it is not completely accessible, but it is much less time consuming. By the way I go to California State Long Beach University, but other colleges probably have similar tools. Hope this helps

I too have a lot of trouble with hcitations, hence my question, but have you tried looking at the Purdue OWL? It is a great resource for writing in APA and MLA formats and is easy to understand.

I thought it would be worth a try, but didn't want to spend the money if it was not accessible so I decided to ask here.
