Rick Mladek
Hi, The preview option is not the issue. I have OUtlook 2019 with Jaws 2020 with all updates current and Windows 10. Definitely lags

Have you tried turning off the preview pane in Outlook?
From: <main@jfw.groups.io> on behalf of "Norma A. Boge" <naboge@...>
Hi group,
As I await a response from Vispero support, I’m wondering if anyone is experiencing the following:
I have noticed that the lag while using Outlook 365 with Jaws 2020 is even worse than with Jaws 2019. Arrowing through a message list, Jaws simply stops speaking. I can read the title of the window but that’s it. Then after 3-4 seconds I am able to proceed normally through the list. And it takes about 5 seconds before I can type a reply to a message. A few months ago I asked about this lag while in a Outlook webinar with the Microsoft accessibility group. They acknowledged the problem but that was about all they said. I can hardly wait to see what Vispero’s take is.
Helpful feedback welcome. Norma

Re: convert webpage containing several tables into 1 excel spreadsheet?
Jessica D
Hi again Alan,
It worked, but there are a few oddities.
If I want it to work in my flashcard app, the top line needs to say “side 1 in A1, and “side 2” in b1. The remainder of the items also need to take this format.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I’ll attach the file so you can see how it looks now.
Thanks,
Jessica

You might try saving the web page as a single html file and opening that file in Excel and see what you get.

Did you try to add Jaws to your startup folder? If not you may try to create a CMD to start Jaws and add that CMD to your startup!

Re: keystroke to get to Office Quick Access Toolbar?
Ann Byrne
In theory, pressing alt+1 should take you to the first item in the QAT, alt+2 to the second, etc. My experience is that that only works sometimes.

Press ALT to enter Command Mode. Press UP ARROW once to focus in the QAT. Press RIGHT and LEFT ARROW to navigate the QAT commands. Each is associated with a number. Use these numbers with ALT to execute the command. The first QAT command is ALT-NUMBER ROW 1, the second is ALT-NUMBER ROW 2, etc. CathyAnne --- CathyAnne Murtha Access Technology Institute www.blind.training cathy@...

how to drag and drop on websites?
Brent Harding
Hi there! I am wondering, how one can deal with
drag and drop stuff on the web when using Jaws? For instance, with this one
thing I was trying to deal with, it asks you to drag a list of things in order
from most important to least important. I tried the lock mouse button command to
try to do it, but then the arrow keys won't read where I'm moving to. Is there
any way around this kind of thing besides getting someone to do it for
me?
Thanks

Hi, I know this isn’t directly related to jaws, but I’m using jaws 2020.
I’d like an efficient way to learn the commands for the Focus line of braille displays, since those items are covered on the certification exam.
I found a page that contains several tables of these commands, and would like to get all this data into a spreadsheet.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Jessica

Just to point out that there are 2 Miscellaneous
folders in the Settings Center. 1 is a sub-folder of, Web / HTML / PDFs,
but the 2nd Miscellaneous folder is the 2nd from the bottom of the folder
list, and this is where the MSAA option is located. This is an application
specific setting only.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Subject: Re: reclassing list views in jaws? In the JAWS settings center, there is an option to force JAWS to use MSAA to interpret list views. I believe this is in the misc. section. So there is a slight possibility that if you toggle this for your application it will perform better.

One other option before you look at scripting:

Re: JAWS won't start after sign-in

I once experienced this on a Windows 7 system. According to Freedom Scientific support, it was probably due to group policy settings (the machine was part of an Active Directory domain).
The solution was to copy the desktop shortcut for JAWS to shell:startup (which is where the user’s startup programs reside).
