Re: Windows 10 and Jaws 2019 question
G. Gray
This combo should work on the H.P., but it does not....neither does ins + F-11 for the system tray. Also on the H.P there is no applications key....I feel sure it is a two key combo, but don't know which two keys.

Windows 10 and Jaws 2019 question
G. Gray
I am new to both. I have loaded Jaws 2019; updated it, etc. I
use a HP laptop 4 gigs ram 64 bit. Jaws will not read the time (ins. +
f-12) or the system tray (ins. f-11) Is there something I need to do to
fix this?
Also from the start menu I cannot list the program list....can
someone give the step by step solution to this? I want to put some things
like ‘notepad and wordpad on the desktop and I can’t figure out how to do
it! Thanks for any help.
George
PS: Is there a free guide with commands for Windows 10? I do
know about the Microsoft help line.

Sieghard, I've been doing some projects and just haven't had the time to upgrade yet. I'll get around to it.

Anyhow, one should think a BIOS upgrade might fix that if the BIOS is the problem.

Maybe there is another reason why Robbie didn't upgrade, I was just curious. Since Jaws 2018 was mentioned the screenreader certainly wouldn't be a problem. Regards, Sieghard

Re: JAWS and Chrome
I couldn't get far with either IE or Chrome on that website which leads me to believe that whoever designed it is not exactly following web accessibility standards.

Re: Space marker.
Bill White
Hi, Michael. Here are three ways to stop announcement of space markers and paragraph markers.
To Stop Announcement of Paragraphs And Space markers
press ALT, then F for the file ribbon, then T for options dialog. Type D or arrow to select the Display category and press TAB until you get to the "Show these formatting marks" on the screen section. Make sure the following are unchecked (press the spacebar to check or uncheck and continue to TAB to the next setting):
Tab characters check box Spaces check box Paragraph marks check box Show all formatting marks check box
the last one, the all checkbox, is important to uncheck. keep pressing TAB to and SPACEBAR on the OK button.
Two Alternate Ways To Stop Announcement of Paragraph And Space Markers
1. Press CONTROL SHIFT 8 (on the numbers row.
Second Way:
Press ALT plus H, followed by 8 (on the numbers row)

hi all, today in school i experienced this problem with my school use computer. I opened the new document that were sent by my Science and Geography teacher at different times. When I opened both documents I get this message. Every time I press down arrow Jaws told me there is a space marker. and my Braille display showed the Symbol of dot 4 and Dot1-6 sign. Can someone please figure out what is this and how to trouble shoot? All comments are greatly appreciate it. best regards michael Munn

Re: Space marker.
lauren
There’s no other text? It just says space marker and you see those docs on your braille display? What was happening before this started? Also, what version of jaws are you running? And what version of Windows? That was supposed
to be dots.

Creating a google doc in Chrome?
Maria Reyes
Hi! I am using Jaws 2018 on a Win10 laptop. I am trying to create a Google doc with Chrome. I can get as far as hitting the create new document button, and when I press enter, I get a template dialogue, Jaws says blank so I hit enter, but the document doesn’t come up, or at least Jaws doesn’t indicate that the doc has been created. Is it possible to do this without a pair of working eyeballs?

Control 1 enables single line spacing and control 2 double line spacing but when arrowing own, this isnt apparent. Jaws f i think should tell you though.

Hi Kevin,
Try the following:
1. Press, Control + A, to select the entire
document.
2. Now press, Control + 2, for double line spacing.
If you press, Control + 5, your spacing will
be a line and a half.
Pressing, Control + 1, will put your spacing back to
single line. Take Care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Book: a utensil used to pass time while waiting for the computer repairman!
