Hi all. I'm looking for a quick way to add the sender of an open email message to my contacts. I'm getting this information for a friend of mine, who has Office 365 on a Windows 10 system. I don't hav

Thanks Sieghard and also Matthew Horspool. The JAWSKEY + CTRL + ENTER is much more elegant than using the JAWS cursor for mouseover controls. -Paul

To maximize a window, hit WINDOWS + UP ARROW. I wanted to share this shortcut with everyone, as I've seen a couple posts recently in which posters complain that windows they have maximized have become

I ran into a web site a couple years back that had mouse-over controls. They are frustrating. This control, in particular, opened a menu when the user hovered the mouse. I found I could open the menu

I understand a third party has developed a set of JAWS scripts to make QuickBooks accessible, but I have not personally used them. As I understand it, the scripts sell for about $200. -Paul

That's correct, there's no "free" option. But MyFax does have a 30-day trial. I signed up for it and sent my first fax today entirely by email client, all went well. I'll tinker with their web page fo

Hi all - I'm in need of a fax-by-email service and am wondering which are compatible with JAWS. Now, you might think, as I did, that the interface to the service would be through email, so it would be

I occasionally encounter this issue. I’m using current JAWS with Outlook 2010 on Windows 7. I think there are two different situations that cause the issue. First, I believe it’s somehow related to th

I wish I were so lucky. Perhaps sometime in the future, I'll have time to completely uninstall and reinstall JAWS. I've already tried that once and it didn't help, but I elected to save my local setti

Hi Larry. Thanks for your suggestions, but no luck on my end. I'm on a Windows 7 64bit system, not Windows 10, so I'm not sure what other things our computers have in common besides Office 2010. I don

Hi Larry. I heard back from FS support, but their reply was not helpful. They advised launching outlook with the "-cleanviews" option, which essentially resets all the views for all the folders. This

Thanks for everyone's continued help with this issue. It is not a problem with the Outlook window being minimized. The behavior is the same whether the window is maximized or "restored". I also played

Hi Tom. Thanks for your help with this. I reset my folder view to the default, but I still get the same behavior: arrowing down through the list of messages causes JAWS to say nothing, except when it

Thanks Tom, but nothing I've tried so far restores normal behavior. This seems to be permanently broken in the new JAWS update that was just released today. -Paul

Hi all. I have my Outlook mailbox views set up as grid views, one line per message, with columns for attachment, sender, subject, received date, and size. It's not the default view, but I imagine it's

JAWS scripting itself doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to use, but it's all the Windows API and user interface stuff -- window handles, control IDs, etc -- that is the challenging part, and t

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I guess I was hallucinating. Thanks for the permanent rate change shortcut. Too bad it's not sticky for the program, though. That seems like it would be useful. -Paul

Hi all. I'm using current JAWS v16. My question regards the ability to temporarily change the speech rate with CONTROL + ALT + PageUp or PageDown. I expected this setting to stick with the application

It sounds like you're talking about text selection in MS Word. If you have some text selected, and you want to unselect it, you hit an arrow key. That's totally correct. But I have no idea what that w

I think the problem you ran into was that you had something selected in the list view. When something is selected in the list view, the context menu does not contain a New submenu. You must unselect y
