Re: New computer specs
Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) <steven.hicks@...>
It largely depends on what you are doing which wil determine the performance impact e.g. if it is a lot of network work, a faster processor won’t necessarily make a huge amount of difference. If it is a lot of disk IO, an SSD over a traditional drive is likely to make a better performance improvement than a faster processor.

My Dell Aurora R3 from 2010 with a 4th gen I7 running at 4.0GHz with 16GB ram and a SSD is just as fast and capable as my new 8th gen I5 dell XPS with the same specs. I have 2 other dell laptops and they are over 10 years old now. They are slow and I dont use them anymore but they are still working. My point is high end PCs from several years ago are still just as capable as ever... On 8/26/2019 7:32 PM, David Moore wrote:

Hi, Hoping someone here knows.

Re: Office 365 outlook on the web-light or accessible version
Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND
Hi,
I believe there was a way to change this through Settings, but I only can find how I did it manually quite a while back, so I don't know if his will work for you. If you go to the address bar by hitting F6, erase everything after the outlook.office365.com/owa/?, and then after the question mark, enter layout=light. That did it for me a while back. I can't remember if it is a permanent fix, though. I have been using chrome for outlook on the web lately, and it has the easier layout, at least for now (fingers crossed). I hope this works for you. The other interface is really annoying.

I don't know about word, but the past version of 365 web outlook had a checkbox in settings that changed the format to the "light version" that was very Jaws friendly . With the latest update, I don't see how to switch to a jaws friendly format any more. I did a web search and still could not find an answer. marla

Re: One space between each sentence, they said. Science just proved them wrong. was RE: Esoteric punctuation question.

Hi Brian and All. Sorry, buti am just getting to this message now, and I think the topic has basicallyb een closed, but I didn’t want to not convey at least some understanding of Brian’s excellent explanation. I’ve never seen a thing in my life and am a braille user, but I do understand the “unbridgable gulf” mentioned here pretty well anyway, at least in theory. Though I couldn’t really tell you what most specific fonts actually look like in practice, typography is certainly interesting, and I’ve worked with a few different ones in my time for different purposes. This is something a braille reader just has to accept as part of the print experience we will never really and truly have an equivalent for, but, just like cinematography in film, it’s a very interesting “science” that it’s useful to know some things about.

Re: J2018.1811.30 May Update + What's New
Jim Pursley
Hey, Mike
I did not reload J2018 when my computer crashed in January 2019.
Downloading this complete version would get me the latest 2018 to
use until 2020 is issued, I surmise. I keep the two latest years
of JAWS, one for backup.

J2018.1811.30 May Update + What's New
Mike B
Hi All,
I don't know about the rest of
you, but I for one missed this update for J2018 in May. Below are the
download links for both the 32 & 64 bit versions plus what's new in this
release.
32 Bit:
64 Bit:
What's new:
Enhancements in JAWS 2018.1811.30
(May 2019)
The following is a list of
improvements made in JAWS 2018 between the November 2018 update and the May 2019
update.
list of 3 items
• Fixed a long standing issue where updating JAWS or Fusion would overwrite your desktop icon from the prior same version, including the shortcut keystroke you may have assigned to launch the software. • Resolved an issue with performing a search on Amazon.com using the Chrome Browser when running JAWS or Fusion 2018. • Resolved a reported issue where multi region title reading was failing. list end Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go
dodgers! If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!

Re: Word Suddenly Verbose about Doc Layout

I just realised that this is *your* product. Lol…so I’m sure you would encourage me to purchase. Don’t blame you for the plug here though; many could likely benefit.

Let me try to sort this all out.
On the ribbon, draft view is alt+w, e. Print View is alt+w, p. Draft View can be invoked by the keystroke alt+ctrl+n unless that keystroke is being used by a Windows program, like NVDA, for launching. Draft view used to be called Normal View in the old days
Print View used to be called Page view, and can be invoked, again if no Windows shortcut using this keystroke has been created, with alt+Ctrl+p.
None of this affects the appearance of the format marks. In the Keyboard Manager, the command to which the keystroke ctrl+shift+8 is linked bears the cryptic name Show All. It is a toggle, and those marks can be shown or hidden no matter which document view you use. You can also toggle showing of some or all of those format marks in Word settings, alt+f, t, on the Display page. (D)
Should you be interested, the skills that enable me to figure some of this out can be gleaned in Windows Keyboard Power User Guide, available from

I don’t think it is a toggle, so you would need another keystroke to invoke a different view.
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Cohn, Jonathan
I experimented with this, because there are times I would want to see this formatting information. In a new document, I pressed the control-shift-8 and got the marks as described, but they did not go away when I hit this keystroke a second time. Moving from printview to draft view did make the marks go away. But did I miss something with the original keystroke, and also does this function available via the ribbon also?

Re: Word Suddenly Verbose about Doc Layout
JM Casey
Thanks, Dean. I consider myself a pretty adequate keyboard manipulator, but I’m looking at this book you mentioned, now. I guess you consider it a worthy investment? I didn’t know about the keyboard assignments for the views, either, or that “draft” is the same as “normal”, or rather, that the former term has replaced the latter. So, this is all good.
