Hello, all, Well, I had a mishap this morning with cords getting tangled and my keyboard falling on the floor. In the process of untangling things  and such now when I go to make a list, say my grocery list on notepad, it is announcing the line and column numbers. This is of course driving me nuts, but I don’t know how to stop it, or where to go. Any help is appreciated. Judy & Tallie

Hi Judy,

 

I am not absolutely sure, but I think you changed a JAWS setting. Press insert + S to toggle how JAWS reports as you are typing. If I am right you are on the “all” option, and you want to be on the “highlighted” option.

 

I hope that helps!

 

Take care and stay safe!

 

Debby

Check your Word Wrap and Status bar settings.  This will depend on if you're running Windows 7 or 10 because the settings display differently between the 2 operating systems.

Judy:

Go into Notepad. Verify that the problem still exists. Press the JAWS Key
with the letter s a couple of times until you hear "highlighted". This
should turn off the extraneous verbal information.

Now, close Note Pad and open it again. See if the problem comes back again.
If it does, let us know, and I will instruct you on what to do next.

Warmly,

Curtis Chong

Hi Judy,
 
When the cursor reaches the end of the line it automatically wraps the text to the next line.  If this is turned off the text can wrap prematurely causing for shorter sentences and when reading it just doesn't sound as smooth.
 
To make sure it's turned on press, Alt + O, to open the format menu and if Word Wrap is checked it's on, but if it's unchecked press enter to check it and close the format menu.
 
 
Stay safe & take care.  Mike.

Go to notepad settings center, insert+number 6; at the end of the settings list it says "last changed settings". Perhaps the inadvertent change will be listed there? I hope.
Judy
