If Apple dorks are weird, I don’t know how you’d classify someone like me, who uses Windows, Apple, and Linux systems. Maybe schizophrenic. LOL. -Paul

I don’t know how to reply to a comment, with or without JAWS. I don’t think replying to comments is an MS Word feature. You can edit the comment. Go to next change in track changes until you enter the

Hi all. Has anyone else noticed that JAWS only reads part of long comments in MS Word? JAWS actually seems to stop reading right in the middle of a word in the comment, which makes me wonder if the li

Hi all. I've got a friend on Windows 10 using the Edge browser who recently asked me if there is a quick way to paste an open URL into an email message body text. I'm still on Windows 7 so I can't hel

I also did not care for the level of accessibility of OmniPage 18 as a standalone application. However, I found that the Word plugin was very accessible, and this is how I primarily use OmniPage. Go t

Well, we’re getting pretty far off topic here. But I don’t see why you’d need multiple copies of Office. If you’ve already got it running on your Windows system, then just use it on your Windows syste

maybe I’m stating the obvious, but the reason to buy a Mac is so that you can run both Mac OS X and a second (or third) operating system via Bootcamp or parallels. I don’t think anyone is suggesting t

I run JAWS on Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro from 2012. I use an external USB Microsoft Intellitype keyboard. I haven’t had any problems with keys or any need to remap anything. It works fine. -Paul

Is this on all pages or just a few? I find that JAWS reads most pages in Google Chrome at least as good as it does Internet Explorer. (I'm on Windows 7.) Some pages, for some reason, cause Google Chro

Thanks. Yes, as I said, I tried making an entry in the dictionary manager. What you wrote below is exactly what I did, and JAWS continues to pronounce the bullets as "bullet" and "hollow round bullet"

I'm reading a web page (using Google Chrome for a browser, if that matters), and the page makes extensive use of bullet points. As I arrow down, JAWS starts every line with "bullet" or, even more anno

I would say that both python and C++ are accessible programming languages - that is, blind programmers can use either. The thing that makes it accessible is the text editor and the screen reading soft

Cool tip, thanks. As a side note, the keyboard shortcut for opening the “copy item to” dialog is CTRL+SHIFT+Y. This just came up recently in the context of creating a new contact from an email message

I looked into learning this a while back. I'm a former professional software developer, so I figured it would be a cinch. Unfortunately, I discovered that in order to do anything of substance with JSL

One tool that might help is Piriform CCleaner. It has a “Drive Wiper” tool that claims to securely erase data from all free space on a disk. CCleaner has several features, and this is one that I have

Replying to my own post here... I finally found the "Window Color and Appearance" dialog, which allows me to set the font, size, bold, italics, etc, of icons and menus. This will allow my wife to set

Hi all. The latest JAWS 18.0.4104 seems to have affected the system font in Windows 7. Let me explain. My sighted wife and I both have Win7 PCs, but we have JAWS on both PCs in case I need to do some

I keep all this stuff in a plain text file and edit it with Notepad on my Windows system. Many will tell you this is a horribly unsecure solution, but if you secure your devices and computers so that

Thanks Steve and Paul. These are both awesome methods, very quick and simple. I don't do this often myself, so I'm going to jot it down in a note for later reference. And I'm sure these methods will b

Thanks. I tried a couple things like this in a tandem connection today. But I was unable to get the context menu to open. Are there known problems with opening the context menu remotely during a tande
