Have you checked in your Outlook settings to make sure that Outlook is set
to play a sound when an email arrives? I wonder if the Outlook volume is
muted for some reason in your volume mixer. You would need to check that
once Outlook is open.

Also, you may want to check in the Windows 10 notifications and see if you
are set up to receive incoming notifications. Just type notifications in
the search box on your Windows 10 computer. Maybe one of these will help
you get your sound back.

Subject: Outlook Issue Suddenly Cropping Up



Hi all.



This doesn't affect JAWS directly, but I was hoping some of you may have
had
the same issue and have worked around it.



I had to reinstall Windows 10 on Sunday because it decided it would crash
my
laptop.



Outlook 2016 is no longer playing a sound when I receive mail. I have
checked Outlook sound options, Windows sound options, and I even made sure
Outlook was the default program for mail in case that was an issue. I've
even Googled to an extent, but nothing I've done has fixed this problem.



Any thoughts?



Thanks.

If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader do the following:

1. Go to Edit > Preferences, the keyboard shortcut is Control + K

2. In the categories list arrow down to Security (Enhanced) or you can also press “S” 3 times to get there

3. Tab once and you hear “Enable Protected Mode at startup”, if it says this is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. You will get the following message/prompt:

Adobe Acrobat Reader dialog
Disabling Protected Mode also disables Protected View and AppContainer.

For changes to take effect, you need to manually restart the application. Are you sure you want to continue?

4. Tab to Yes and activate it, then press Shift + Tab 3 times to get to the OK button and activate it.

5. Now close Acrobat Reader and reopen your document.

Hello, I’m using Jaws2018 and Windoes10. I opened a PDF file and Jaws doesn’t read anything. I didn’t even get the message where Jaws recognizes the PDF and gives option to scan it. I tried to save it as as a MS word file and I get the message I can download the Adobe version that allows me to convert. I use to be able to convert and something happened that no longer allows me to do so. Any thoughts of what I can do? Thanks, Kevin

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use Conditional formatting in both Excel 2016 and 2019. I choose to use a formula to decide which cells are formatted, choose cells in sheet 1 that do not equal cells in sheet 2, and choose to fill the cells matching the criteria with a red background fill. The conditional formatting is working, but using Jaws 2019, I have no way of knowing whether or not it is working, because Jaws reads “text color black, background color white” when I press Insert + F, and “Black on white” when I press Insert + 5 on cells that have different values. If I load NVDA and press Insert+ F on these cells, NVDA says “black on bright red background”.

Has anyone else noticed this? I am getting so frustrated with Jaws not being able to do basic things like this when a free screen reader like NVDA is able to do it with no problem!

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to have Jaws 2019 announce when text in a cell in Excel
2016 overflows the cell, or is "cropped"? I know that NVDA can do this,
and someone told me that Jaws has a setting to enable this feature, but
I can't find the setting, if it exists.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Russell
