accessories, system tools, system information, route jaws to pc, CTRL home to go to the top and read down until you get the information or to simplify the process, just press windows key pause and that will give you the same info.

Re: How do you know if your Windows is 64 bit
chris hallsworth <christopherh40@...>
It is definitely 64 bit you are using as the error message means that you cannot install the 32 bit version of JAWS on a 64 bit operating system. So please download and install the 64 bit version of JAWS, and you should find it runs and installs successfully.

Re: Jaws 11 and MS Office 2007 Pro

You're learning about the ribbon, I presume? Go to the FS web site and there
is some training material on how to navigate in the ribbon. With JAWS 12 FS then introduced the "Virtual Ribbon" that gives a more standard menu structure to the ribbon. There's definitely a learning curve in first trying to work with Office 2007 and the ribbon.

Re: Checkmark / Square Root symbol
Zaheer Sheikh <cybergeek2020@...>
Hey Mike,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I use alt+251 to insert the Square Root symbol. As you already mentioned, jaws will read it as letter "v". You can add the Square Root symbol in the default dictionary manager, and then jaws will read it correctly. This is how I did it: 1. Open notepad. 2. Press ALT+251, this will insert the Square Root symbol. 3. Note that Jaws will read the Square Root symbol as letter "V". 4. Select and copy the symbol without any spaces. 5. Open the Jaws default dictionary manager from the Jaws utilities submenu. 6. Select the Add button to add new entry in the Dictionary. 6. Paste the symbol in the "Actual word" edit box. 7. Type "Square Root" in the "Replacement word" edit box. 8. Tab to OK. Hope this helps, Zaheer Sheikh

I don't have a definite answer, but here are three possibilities to explore: 1. Add 0 before the 251 code. Thus 0251 2. In the past, some listers came to the conclusion that the process you describe produces not ASCII, but ANSI code. I've just now been looking around the Net for an ANSI codes list, but I couldn't find an accessible one quickly. It might be worth a try. 3. I may be reading this wrong, but an ASCII table I just looked at indicates that the ASCII code for square root isn't 251, but 252. Let us know if you find an answer.

How do I type a checkmark / square root symbol using Jaws? Actually, I am not sure if this is a Jaws question or just a keyboarding question. Moderators, please don't climb too far up my tree if this question isn't Jaws related! All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.

Re: JAWS 13 Public Beta 2 Released
Peter Holdstock <ptrholdstock@...>
If it only takes us as users a couple of minuts to label the graphics for Windows Live Mail to say if a message is unread, a conversation is collapsed etc then surely it would take even less time for FS and they only have to do it once for it to be available for all users so why the hell they don't do it I don't know. I have reported it several times with no joy but I'll do it again on the beta report form.
