A handy keystroke which a lot of people don't know about is Insert+E. It often tells you what will happen if you hit Enter from your present location. So it might not be necessary to tab to the Next b

Hi Laurie, A beautiful message, especially considering the unfortunate mess from before. It reminds me of a line from a Stan freberg record: "Is so good I could kill myself!" As for the answer, which

The left mouse button is Numpad slash. On most keypads it's the second from the left. I, being an old geezer, keep 'em straight because back in the IBM 360 days an end-of-file was slash asterisk which

For what it's worth (every penny you pay for this advice <grin>) screenreaders are far too much in flux to skimp on updates. If you have the money it is close to imperative, imho, to purchase every si

Yes, do always keep prior versions.

Hi folks, I know I'm getting old but this is ridiculous. Two posts in a row with mysterious secret hieroglyphs: CMS, EDI ... What do these here thing signify to the cognoscenti? <grin> Thanks for your

Aren't they teaching that anymore? I guess that does leave four years when I turned in my assignments in braille...

Hi Ted, If you know how to use Unix systems you can use pdftohtml under Cygwin. Cygwin is a very nice Unix (mostly Linux) environment that runs under Windows. It's significantly slower than real Linux

You don't. you write your paper in braille first, then when it's ready you type it for the teacher. (SIGH! Modern kids are SO soft! <grin> ) Back in the mid-fifties nobody had talking appliances, refr

While we're ruminating about ancient history it might not be amiss to remark on the terrible stupidity often evidenced by blind people raised on speech. It's downright embarrassing sometimes. I even h

The debate over residential v. non-residential schools is a very old one, Richard, and there's no way your message can offend anybody. What's a brake display? Have fun,

What you want is not a telephone keypad. As far as I, too, know, it doesn't exist. K1000 has a telephone keypad setting but that's not what's needed here. Good luck with the startup wizard. What I had

I'm puzzled by the Microsoft keyboard not working. It requires a special driver but when you plugged it in it should have been recognized as new hardware and installed the driver automatically. At lea

One thing I noticed is that there seems to be some kind of invisible EOF at the end of default.jss. I added my scripts to the end of the file like always but they wouldn't show up in Keyboard Manager

When did this start happening? Is it recent or longstanding? In case it started with the newest update to Jaws, it's very important (and very easy to overlook) to destroy your personal Jaws scripts fo

Hi folks, One thing that is, imho, a serious weakness in the Jaws update process is that you have to destroy and recreate the personal settings for each update. Skipping this step can cause problems w

Hi Kimber, Once I looked for Windows 7 training materials on the Internet. I don't remember the search method or term--perhaps Google and "Windows 7 training" but that's just a guess. I found several

Hi Nikhil, I have a couple guesses as to why Jaws doesn't see the cursor movements fast enough. They could be dead wrong of course... Linux cursors generally don't blink. But Jaws uses cursor blink as

Using Keyboard Manager, locate and, if necessary, assign a key to the script: BrailleToggle8PixelsPerSpace

Hi Phil, The thing about the BrailleSetUnlimitedPixelsPerSpace script is that it's one-way. You push the key and it sets it to unlimited (actually 999) pixels per space, but the only way to turn that
