Yes.

I just tried it with the steps from a Microsoft article and it works.

I will give you the steps as well as provide the link.

IN your document, press Alt+f, I, p, e

Alt+f together, then I for info, p for protect, and e for encrypt.

BTW, this also works in Excel.

Here are the steps copied for the web site with the link at the end.

Protect a document with a password

Passwords are case-sensitive and can be a maximum of 15 characters long.

If you lose or forget your password, Word won't be able to recover it for you. Be sure to keep the a copy of the password in a safe place or create a strong password that you’ll remember.

1.  Go to File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password.

2.  Type a password, then type it again to confirm it.

3.  Save the file to make sure the password takes effect.

Is there a way to set up a document in Word so that the file can’t be opened without the password?

There is no really good method to do this.  Most can be worked around if the document is still in DOCX format.

It's not perfect, but I find it far more effective to save as PDF and send that out.  There are some who have PDF editors and know how to use them, but far fewer than the number who have MS-Office and know the tricks to get around protection.

If you really insist on sticking with DOCX you can use ALT+L,PE (Layout Ribbon, Restrict Editing), then navigate to the checkbox under Editing Restrictions and check it.  After it's checked, a dropdown box of options becomes accessible, the default is No Changes (Read Only), which is what you want.  Then navigate to the button, "Yes, start enforcing protection," and activate it.  At this point a dialog box comes up allowing you to choose password protection as the way to be able to unset editing restrictions or User Authentication.  Most use Password Protection, which makes you do the usual entering of the password you want in two boxes.  Then hit the OK key and the document can no longer be edited, even by you, unless you go back and turn off editing restrictions.

Subject: Using Edge with Jaws

Hi all,

I'm looking for some tips on using the Edge browser with Jaws.
Honestly, I don't even know how to verify that I am running the newer more accessible version of Edge or how to check that.

Also, are there certain settings that should be changed to give a better browsing experience?

Any resources or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kim

Thanks for that keystroke. I definitely do not have the latest version
which is probably much of my problem.

I am not at all familiar with that Mixer but have you looked at the default Windows  Sound Mixer to see if the application driving your mixer is there?

You would also need the application from which you are expecting an audio output to be running.

You would need to see if the volume levels for it are normal if that is the case.

Just press windows R and type Sndvol and enter.

In fact you can do this just by  pressing windows key and typing sndvol into the search box.

Then tabbing will navigate you to each of the applications running and show an individual volume level for each and a mute /unmute  check box.

If the application is not there it sounds like you would need to consult your mixer hardware sound properties.

Okay, Here’s what I need to know, related to this story:

I used to use a UCX client for answering work phone calls from home.  When I uninstalled that to use voices.com, suddenly now no audio comes out of my computer when I try and use my  quad capture mixer and headset.  In fact, when I plug in my headset, hooked to that mixer, no audio works.

You can either respond on the list, or email me privately at jredlichspeaks@...

Thank you much.

Haha, nice. I had a feeling you should check that actually, but maybe I never sent a message here about it. I don’t know what would have changed the  setting either but, I think I have seen things like that happen before.

I thought I  would just post to say how I had resolved my VLC difficulty.

Some may recall last week that out of the blue VLC suddenly refused to play any media for me.

Altering   settings in VLC, including adjusting volume made no difference.

I therefore uninstalled and reinstalled VLC – still no difference.

I then had to install WinAmp to provide a replacement for the  last week.

Tonight I suddenly remembered that I had not checked the Windows Sound Mixer.

I typed sndvol after pressing the Windows key.

Sure enough when I came to the VLC slider  in the Windows Mixer I found that VLC had been set to 0%.

I changed this to 100%  and VLC suddenly blared back to life.

Quite what had happened in Windows to set VLC in the Sound Mixer to 0% is a complete mystery to me. I am the only person using this PC and I have been nowhere near the Windows Sound Mixer since last year.

Some errant electrons have obviously strayed where they should not stray.

Anyway I have VLC back working again and thought I would post this in case someone else encountered this or a similar issue.

Hi All,

I am a totally blind user, using JAWS 2020 latest version, Windows 10 on PC laptop. In this world turned upside down I am needing to take zoom recordings and upload them to my YouTube channel.

The upload button is accessed via an icon image of a movie camera for the sighted. My screenreader is skipping over this and I keep needing to get my sighted partner to hit thisbutton so I can upload my files.

Is there a keyboard shortcut command to get me there or some way I can bring this in to focus?

If there are any people comfortable creating YouTube videos with JAWS, I would love any tips. It is very tedious and I think there must be a more efficient way.

Also would love to know how to create a consistent inclusion of a little music lead at the beginning and end! Any and all tips welcome.

Thank-you.

Thanks Bill,

I wasn’t sure how much things changed as I didn’t start using Edge until this new one came out.

No, since the new chrome based Edge was not out when the tutorial was created, and no one would know the layout and keystrokes that would be applicable to the new chrome based Edge.

If David reads this, or anyone who knows more than I, which should be a lot of people…

The one tutorial I found by David Moore on Edge is from 2017.

Is that applicable to the new Chrome based Edge?

Thanks,

Richard

If using JAWS, open Edge and press insert+ctrl+v. JAWS will read the
version number.
