moderated version questions

Madison Martin
Hi all,
How do I get the exact version of Jaws that I'm running? Also, when I do the keystroke to get the Outlook version I copy and paste it, but it doesn't show up in the message, but as attachments, none of which are the actual version info they just seem to be recent messages, what am I doing wrong? Thanks Madison

Hey Madison.

A good way to get JAWS version information displayed inn a convenient little window is to go to the JAWS menu with jaws key + j, and hit up arrow once (probably, this might be version dependent I suppose, but it's usuallya t the bottom) to "about". Hit enter and you'll get what you need. As for outlook, I am not sure quite what it is that you want. You want to know your outlook version number and then paste it to someone? If you are getting that info with tge command JAWS commands to display the version information of an executable, this isn't displayed on screen so you can't copy and paste it as though it was a line of text placed in an edit field. It isn't. But if you wanted you could use speech history to retrieve it. Press insert space, then h, then up arrow til you find the text that you need, then copy and paste, and press escape. There are usually more efficient ways to get version info. I seem to remember outlook having an 'about" screen somewhere, too, but at the moment I can't find it. Haha

to get the version of a program in a virtual window so you can copy it and paste to where you want, press control+insert+v v. if you don't press v twice quickly, I mean really quickly, it won't work.

Insert+j then up arrow does not work if you have Jaws in the System tray.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
But, insert+j followed by control+insert+v works in any setup. And, control+insert+v works in any and all programs. Twice quickly puts it in the virtual window so you can copy it by using shift+the arrow keys depending on how much you want to copy. Richard, in the U.S. "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

Hello Richard.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I'm not sure what you mean by saying that "it doesn't work if you have jaws in the system tray". Unless something has changed recently, it does work here in this fashion. I have not had JAWS set to use its own window/not be in the system tray for many years. I also don't have JAWS 2021, though, so it's possible something has changed...

I was referring specifically to insert+j then up arrow once.

For me, that lands on the exit button. Nothing about a version number.

The exact steps are:

Insert+j, up arrow twice to About and hit enter. Or, the easy way in my mind is insert+j then control+insert+v Either method gets you what u want.

If you have JAWS set to not display in its own window, then no, it won't

come up when you move between windows, as there isn't a JAWS window open unless you open the settings centre, or some other JAWS utility.

If you are hearing alt+windows+q when pressing the insert key, you have issues that likely won't be resolved via email.

It works with JAWS 2018, as well.

It would be a surprising change if they removed it altogether, but I did say the position of the option might be version dependent. It's usually very near the bottom of for example a help menu in most programmes.
