Adobe Acrobat and Reader

Adobe Acrobat allows you to create documents in the Portable Document Format,
or PDF. Many people use PDF documents to exchange information, because once a
document is formatted in this way, its content and appearance are preserved.
No one can change the document. To view or print PDF files, you can use Adobe
Reader, which is available free of charge on the Internet. JAWS allows you to
hear PDF files, primarily through use of the Virtual Cursor.

In order to take advantage of the many useful JAWS features designed for Adobe
Acrobat/Reader, it is important that the PDF files are properly created and
tagged by the document author. Information on authoring accessible PDF
documents is available at http://access.adobe.com.

Note: The information in this section has been verified for Acrobat and Reader
versions 6.0 through 7.x. The level of support JAWS provides for other
versions of this product may vary. In addition, language detection is not
available in Acrobat/Reader version 6.x.

Please visit http://www.adobe.com for more information regarding Adobe Acrobat
and Reader. For information on creating accessible PDF documents, visit the
Adobe Accessibility page or Freedom Scientific's list of Adobe online
resources.

List of all Supported Applications

----------
Acrobat/Reader Getting Started

There are no special installation or setup requirements to run this product
with JAWS. If you are using Acrobat/Reader version 7.0 or later, the
accessibility wizard automatically starts when you start the program for the
first time. This wizard helps you set up preferences that improve the
accessibility of both the program and PDF documents. For additional
information, refer to the products online help system as required, using ALT+H
to select the softwares built in help topics. If you need assistance with JAWS
commands or want to know what new features have been added that JAWS supports,
use INSERT+F1+F1.

----------
Acrobat/Reader Helpful Hints

Most PDF documents created in Adobe Acrobat are now accessible to JAWS. Use
Adobe Acrobat or Reader to view and hear JAWS read these documents to you.
Periodically you may encounter a poorly structured PDF file, which JAWS cannot
access.

Virtual Features

When reading PDF documents, JAWS uses the Virtual Cursor just as it does in
HTML documents. This means that you can use the same features you use to
navigate Web pages when reading PDF documents. Useful features include
Navigation Quick Keys, lists of tables, links, headings, and other elements,
PlaceMarkers, HTML options, and many others.

The following topics contain information about JAWS HTML features that are
also available in PDF documents:

Navigation Quick Keys
Links

Headings

Images
Lists
Forms
Tables
Elements
PlaceMarkers

HTML Options

Focus Commands for Web Pages

For a list of many HTML keystrokes that you can also use when navigating PDF
documents, see JAWS Commands for HTML.

Authoring Considerations

The accessibility of a PDF file depends on how the document was authored.
While JAWS makes PDF documents far more accessible than ever before, some
files may still not read properly. Information on authoring accessible PDF
documents is available at http://access.adobe.com.

Content Delivery

If you find that PDF documents load too slowly, you can adjust the content
delivery size of the document to load one page at a time, rather than loading
the entire document all at once. To adjust your content delivery, open the
Preferences dialog using CTRL+K, and then select the Reader page. On the
Reader page, go to Content Delivery. Here you can set the minimum document
size for loading a page at a time.

Note: In Acrobat/Reader 5, use the Accessibility page instead of the Reader
page to set the minimum document size for loading a page at a time.

PDF Files on the Internet

JAWS supports PDF reading even when the file is opened within Internet
Explorer. However, you may prefer to display PDF files opened from web pages
with Acrobat or Reader. To configure Acrobat or Reader to open PDF files
accessed from web pages:
Press CTRL+K to open the Preferences dialog. When the dialog opens, you are
placed in a list box containing several different selections.
Press I twice to move to the Internet page. If you are using Acrobat/Reader 5,
press O instead to move to Options.
Press ALT+D to move to and clear the Display PDF in Browser check box.
Press ENTER to accept the change and close the dialog.

PDF Forms

When reading PDF documents containing form fields, JAWS can speak prompt
information for active controls in two ways:

JAWS speaks the MSAA (Microsoft Active Accessibility) provided information.
The MSAA information in a PDF document is created by the author of the
document. If MSAA information is not available for the control, JAWS states:
"MSAA information is not available."
JAWS speaks the text that appears to be to the left of the active control.
This text is spoken as the prompt if the active control is an edit field. JAWS
does not attempt to "guess" the prompt text for other active controls such as
check boxes, radio buttons, etc.
Often, both MSAA provided and on screen prompt information are present for the
same control. You can select which source of this information JAWS uses. To do
this, toggle the setting, Use MSAA for form prompts On or Off. This can be
done in one of two ways:

Press CTRL+INSERT+TAB.
Press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box. Arrow to the Use
MSAA for Form Prompts setting, and press SPACEBAR to toggle the setting.
You can now check or clear check boxes with SPACEBAR without entering Forms
Mode.

Creating Custom Labels

You can create custom labels for PDF form fields. JAWS announces this label
when you move to or read the form field. This custom label replaces the label
assigned by the document author (if any). For more information on creating
custom labels for PDF forms, refer to Custom Labels.

Working with Text

Press INSERT+F if you want to hear the font and size of the text at the
current location of the Virtual Cursor. Press this keystroke twice to display
the information in the Virtual Viewer.

You can select text in a PDF document using the Virtual Cursor just as you can
in HTML documents. For a list of text selection commands, see Windows
Keystrokes for Working with Text. After you have selected some text, press the
APPLICATION Key to display a context menu containing additional commands that
you can perform on the selection (such as copying it to the Clipboard).

Tables

JAWS announces the start and end of tables as well as the number of columns
and rows contained within each table. JAWS Table specific commands work within
tables in PDF documents. For more information about using table specific
commands, refer to Keystrokes for Working in Tables.

You can use the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) to change how JAWS
announces tables in PDF documents. The following options are available:

Table Announcement - If this option is on, JAWS announces the number of
columns and rows at the beginning of tables. JAWS also indicates when you have
moved to the end of a table.
Layout Tables - If this option is off, JAWS only detects data tables. If this
option is on, JAWS detects all tables.
Table Titles - This option allows you to specify whether JAWS reads table row
or column headers. If you choose "Only Marked Headers," JAWS only announces
headers that are specifically defined as such in the table by the PDF creator.

Braille and PDF Files

JAWS now supports Structured Mode Braille when pressing TAB to move through
links and/or form fields in PDF documents.

AOL Getting Started

After installing AOL, a dialog opens asking for information that enables your
computer to connect to the AOL service. To move around in this dialog, press
TAB or SHIFT+TAB.

During the set up process, AOL asks for your sign on information. If you do
not have an account with AOL, follow the instructions for registering online
or call AOL to set up your account.

AOL uses menu and toolbars to provide access to its many features. For more
information about the layout of the screen in AOL and keyboard shortcuts for
getting around, refer to Helpful Hints.

After you are signed on, the Instant Messenger window opens. To access other
features of AOL, use the Toolbar Commands or the AOL Hot Keys. For more
information, refer to:

Toolbar Commands
AOL Hot Keys
Note: AOL Help provides instructions for installing scripts to make JAWS work
with AOL. These instructions apply to earlier versions of JAWS. The necessary
scripts are distributed with JAWS 4.5 and later.

AOL Helpful Hints

AOL combines all of the tools you need to access the Internet into one
application. The AOL user interface is different in some ways from that of
other applications. The following hints may help you to use AOL more easily.

The Menu Bar

The Menu Bar includes six menus.

File
Edit
Print
Window
Sign off
Help
The icons for these menus are labelled and appear at the top of the screen. To
access the menu bar, press ALT. To move between the menus, press LEFT or RIGHT
ARROW. To move to items within a menu, press UP or DOWN ARROW. To leave the
menu bar, press ALT again.

The Toolbar

The Toolbar includes five menus that give you access to commonly used features
of the AOL application. The icons for the Toolbar are labelled and appear
below the Menu Bar on the screen. Keyboard commands also give you access to
these features.

Description

Command


Mail


ALT+M


People


ALT+P


Services


ALT+C


Settings


ALT+S


Favorites


ALT+V

These commands open drop-down menus that present options for using each
feature.

The URL Bar

The URL Bar contains edit boxes where you can enter search terms. It also
contains buttons that give you access to other features of AOL and the
Internet. To move to the URL Bar, press CTRL+W. The cursor moves to the edit
box. To move through the buttons on the URL Bar, press TAB or SHIFT+TAB.

Parent and Child Windows

Below the Menu Bar, the Toolbar, and the URL Bar is a window called the parent
window. When you access a feature of AOL or the Internet, a smaller window
opens inside the parent window. This smaller window is called a child window.
To move between the open windows, press CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB. To close a
child window, press CTRL+F4.

Tip: To close all of the windows except the one you are currently in, press
SHIFT+F2.

Tip: To explore a window, press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the controls
in the window. Because the text of child windows tends to overlap, using the
JAWS Cursor to read the windows may result in hearing bits of information from
other windows.

Hot Keys

AOL provides several hot keys that you can customize to access features you
like. For information about the default settings for these hot keys, refer to
AOL Hot Keys.

Dialogs

Static text fields provide information about the controls in dialogs used in
AOL. JAWS reads the text of these fields, but standard reading commands may
not work properly in them. Reading these boxes with the JAWS Cursor may
provide greater access to the information. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press
NUM PAD DASH. For more information about using the JAWS Cursor, refer to Using
the JAWS Cursor.

AOL Help

If AOL Help is difficult to read using the standard reading commands, press
NUM PAD DASH to activate the JAWS cursor, and use standard reading commands to
read the text. Links may not be identified, but you can still press ENTER to
follow them.

AOL Browser

The Virtual Cursor is enabled in the AOL Browser; however, detailed
information about web pages is not provided as it is in Internet Explorer and
related applications. If you move into another application and back into AOL
by pressing ALT+TAB, you may need to press NUM PAD STAR to make JAWS recognize
the Virtual Cursor again before you can continue reading the page.

Tip: The Links List Dialog allows you to move through a list of all the links
on a page. To open this dialog, press INSERT+F7.

E-mail and Chat

Inside the box for e-mail message text, pressing TAB inserts a tab space. To
access controls such as the send message button, press SHIFT+TAB. To send a
message press, CTRL+ENTER.

The Text Styling Toolbar

The text styling toolbar allows you to format text in e-mail, chat, and
instant messages. Use the following commands to format text while in the text
box.

Bold: CTRL+B
Italic: CTRL+T
Underline: CTRL+U

Instant Messages

When you receive an instant message, JAWS focuses on the instant message
window. JAWS ignores incoming messages while you have set an "away" message.
To set this message:

From the buddy list window, press TAB until you reach the Away Notice button.
Press SPACEBAR to activate the button.
Press TAB until you locate the list of choices to display as the "away"
message.
Press UP or DOWN ARROW to select the message to display.
Press SPACEBAR to activate the message.

Anytime Deluxe Helpful Hints

Anytime Deluxe allows users to label events in their calendar such as
birthdays and holidays with group names. These groups often have text colors
associated with them. This allows sighted users to easily identify different
types of events in their calendar at a glance. JAWS allows you to label these
text colors with your own meaningful labels as well. Follow the steps below in
order to set a text label for a group.

For this example, go to the Day Planner. Create a new appointment or event,
and type your first name. Now press TAB to move to the Details button, and
press ENTER.
Move to the Groups page of the Details dialog. Select Birthday from the list
box. Move to the Group Colors Button and press ENTER to activate it.
The Group Colors dialog contains a palette with predefined colors. JAWS will
not speak while you navigate in this box. You will always be placed in the top
left corner of the grid, in a black square. This is the default color of the
text. Press the RIGHT ARROW and then the SPACEBAR to select the color to the
right of black. Press ENTER.
Note:There are eight columns and six rows of colors, so you should try to pick
one that you have not used before.

Press the OK button in the Details dialog, and the text, "Birthday" should
appear in the Events Pane.
To confirm that you changed the color of the text "birthday," press
CTRL+SHIFT+O to turn on automatic reading of text colors, and then press
INSERT+UP ARROW, for a SayLine. You should now hear the word, "Avacado," which
is the color of your text.
Lastly, you want to press CTRL+SHIFT+E to record a label for your text color.
Type the word, "Birthday" in the edit box, and press ENTER. Now when you press
INSERT+UP ARROW for a SayLine, you will hear birthday preceding your name.
Tip:Press CTRL+SHIFT+L to remove an Events color label.

When you first enter AIM, you are placed in the buddy list tree view. This
tree displays your buddies, co-workers, and family members that have AIM
screen names and that you have added to be notified when they are online. By
default this list will be empty until you add them using the find a buddy
wizard menu option under the people menu or by tabbing to the setup button and
adding them. Once your buddies are added, you will see them listed under their
appropriate group in the buddy list view. If your buddy is not online, he/she
will appear under the offline branch of the tree view.

Helpful Keystrokes


Send an Instant Message


ALT+I


Invite a buddy to chat


ALT+C

You can use standard Windows and JAWS keystrokes to navigate within AIM. When
you are in a conversation window, new incoming messages are automatically
spoken. If necessary, this can be turned off in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog
box (INSERT+V). If you are within AIM but not in the conversation window, JAWS
alerts you when you have a new message from a buddy by saying, "buddy x sent a
message." Once you ALT+TAB into the conversation window, the message is
automatically read to you.

To review the conversation history, you can use the keyboard commands ALT+1,
ALT+2, ALT+3, and so on through ALT+0, where ALT+1 is for the last message and
ALT+0 is for the 10th previous message. Previously, AIM scripts only supported
review of up to three messages.

Note: If you press any of the ALT+1 through ALT+0 keys twice quickly, the
focus moves to that message in the Conversation History window.

As always, you can review the conversation history by tabbing to the
conversation history window or by pressing CONTROL+SHIFT+H to move focus to
this window. This window is now an HTML window thus HTML navigation options
can be used. When messages arrive in a tabbed IM window, but that tab is not
the current conversation, AIM will alert you that a message arrived by playing
the sound associated with that buddy. (You also have the option of having JAWS
speak the buddy's name.) To read the message, you can press CONTROL+TAB to
select the tab for the buddy in question and then use the review conversation
history commands or tab to the conversation history window to review the new
messages.

Note: By default, AIM 6 is configured to flash the task bar when an incoming
instant message is received from a buddy. It is recommended that you turn off
the flash functionality since it can cause JAWS to speak constantly when a new
instant message is received and the IM window is not in the foreground. To
disable the flash functionality, uncheck the "Flash the window when IM
messages received" check box. It is found by choosing the Settings command
from the Edit menu and then choosing the General IM tab.

If sign in or sign out notifications are enabled in AIM 6, these notifications
are automatically spoken in AIM 6 and any other application that has focus
since AIM 6 is still loaded in memory. To disable speaking of buddies signing
in or out, use the Adjust JAWS Options (INSERT+V) when in AIM 6 and restart
JAWS, or disable buddy sign in or sign out notifications in AIM 6 by choosing
the Edit menu, the Settings command, and then the Notifications tab.

JAWS Commands for AudibleManager


Using the Audible Desktop Player

List of all Supported Applications

----------
AudibleManager Getting Started

AudibleManager is the primary desktop program for listening to Audible.com
content. It handles downloading, organizing, and transferring Audible content
to a mobile device or CD. You can download titles immediately or create
scheduled, automatic downloads of subscriptions as they are published.

AudibleManager also lets you customize how you view all downloaded content.
You can transfer content to your supported mobile listening device, including
MP3 players, PDAs, pocket PC devices, and the PAC Mate. You can also copy (or
burn) content to audio CDs using your computers CD-RW drive.

Tip: If you need assistance with JAWS commands or want to know what new
features have been added that JAWS supports, press INSERT+F1+F1. To get a list
of Audio Manager shortcut keys, press INSERT+H. For optimal audio performance
with JAWS, it is recommended that you use a sound card with multiple wave
channels or a hardware synthesizer.

The AudibleManager window is divided into three panes: Audible Folders,
Library, Mobile Device Programs, and Mobile Devices. Each pane is described in
more detail below. To navigate among the panes, press F6 or the TAB key.

Audible Folders

This pane allows you to navigate through the folders that contain audio you
have downloaded, new titles in your online library, and your daily, weekly,
and monthly subscriptions.

The Audible Folders pane contains a set of folders that supports your personal
audio library. These folders work just like folders in Windows Explorer or
Microsoft Outlook. The default folders are described below.

Library

The Library folder contains your audio programs. This folder contains
subfolders that show the details for downloaded or imported audio content
stored on your computer. You can play your content by selecting the title and
pressing CTRL+P or ENTER. You can also add it to a mobile device or to a CD
burn list by pressing CTRL+T. Audible Desktop Player is the default player,
but you can also choose to use either RealPlayer or Windows Media Player.

Tip: If you want to create an additional subfolder (for example, a folder
called Already Listened To), press ALT+E to open the Edit menu and choose the
Create Subfolder command. This allows you to better organize your audio as you
listen. You can also move or copy titles between subfolders. Select the title
in the Audible Inbox pane, press the APPLICATIONS Key, and choose either the
Move or Copy command.

Trash

The Trash folder keeps a list of all titles that you have deleted from your
subfolders. These files are not fully deleted from your computer until you
empty Trash folder. To empty this folder, select the Trash folder in the
Audible Folders pane, press the APPLICATIONS Key, and choose the Empty Trash
command. You can also press CTRL+SHIFT+T to empty the Trash folder. If you
want AudibleManager to delete files immediately or empty the Trash folder when
you quit, open the Edit menu (or the Tools menu if you are using
AudibleManager 4.x) and choose Options. Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Trash
tab and select your desired options.

Subscriptions (AudibleManager 4.x only)

The Subscriptions folder allows you to set advanced properties for your
subscriptions. A detailed explanation of these features is available in the
AudibleManager Getting Started Guide. You can download this guide from
http://download.audible.com/help/GettingStartedSubs.pdf or visit the Audible
Help Center online and download the Getting Started Guide for subscriptions.

Tip: You can press CTRL+U in the Audible Folders pane to quickly move to and
select the Subscriptions folder.

To retrieve your currently active subscriptions (also called synchronizing),
select the Subscriptions folder in the Audible Folders pane. Press F6 to move
to the Audible Inbox pane and then press CTRL+SHIFT+U to synchronize your
subscriptions.

You can view and change the properties of any of your subscriptions. To do
this, select the subscription in the Audible Inbox pane and press the
APPLICATIONS Key. If you want to automatically download the latest issue when
it is published, choose Latest Issue. If you want to download all back issues
that you have not already downloaded, choose Download All Non-Downloaded
Issues at Once.

Note: If you choose Download All Non-Downloaded Issues at Once, you may need
to download a substantial number of back issues if you have not downloaded any
issues from this subscription for some time. For example, if you havent
downloaded three months of issues from a daily subscription, you will be
downloading approximately 60 issues when the next issue is available.

New Individual Programs (AudibleManager 4.x only)

The New Individual Programs folder allows you to select single or multiple
titles that are new in your library and download them without going online to
the My Library area on the Audible.com Web site. You must be connected to the
Internet to use this feature.

To download titles using this feature, select the New Individual Programs
folder and then press F6 to move to the Audible Inbox pane. Select the
title(s) you want to download and press the APPLICATIONS Key. Choose the
Select for Download command from the context menu.

Tip: If you want to use a format other than the default, press the
APPLICATIONS Key and choose Format.

After you select all the titles you want to download are choose the desired
format, press the APPLICATIONS Key and choose the Download Checked Programs
command. After a delay of about 30 seconds, AudibleManager begins downloading
the titles.

Note: Depending on your connection speed, choosing more than five titles at a
time may result in an incomplete download. If this happens, navigate to
another folder and then return to this folder to refresh the Audible Inbox
panes details. Repeat the process previously described and choose only five or
fewer titles.

New Subscription Programs (AudibleManager 4.x only)

The New Subscriptions folder works the same way as the New Individual Programs
folder, but downloads the latest issues of your active subscriptions. There is
also a Renew button for recently expired Subscriptions. This button takes you
directly to the Audible.com Web site so you can renew your subscription.

Library (Audio Inbox in AudibleManager 4.x)

This pane displays the contents of the currently selected folder in the
Audible Folders pane. For example, audio content is displayed in this pane
when you select a folder containing audio content. You can press CTRL+SHIFT+B
to return to this pane at any time.

Tip: To select multiple titles in the Audible Inbox pane, first select a
single title. Hold down CTRL and use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to move
through the list. Press SPACEBAR to select the titles you want to include in
the selection. Be sure not to press any arrow keys after releasing CTRL, or
all the titles will be unselected.

Mobile Device Programs

This pane shows all of the programs loaded on the mobile device that is
currently active. You can press the TAB key to move to the list of currently
installed mobile devices.

Mobile Devices (Device Status in AudibleManager 4.x)

The Mobile Devices pane helps you transfer content to your mobile device or a
CD. In AudibleManager 5.x, there are also options for no device and updating
AudibleManager components.

Device Mode

Device Mode is active when a mobile listening device like an MP3 player, PDA,
iPod, or PAC Mate is connected to your PC. To choose the active mobile device
you want to use with AudibleManager, press CTRL+SHIFT+D and select your device
in the Mobile Device Type combo box. This mode is generally used to transfer
one audio title at a time from your desktop computer to your mobile device.

Tip: To use your PAC Mate with AudibleManager, choose Pocket PC in the Mobile
Device Type combo box.

You can also use this mode to view and modify content on your mobile device.
AudibleManager shows content currently on the mobile device and allows you to
delete titles. You can also determine how much memory is available on your
device or what is currently being used.

This mode also lets you switch between two views. You can view titles stored
in the mobile devices main memory or titles on the storage card. To switch
between views, go to the Devices menu and select Choose Mobile Device or press
CTRL+SHIFT+D. Select the radio button to indicate which view you want
AudibleManager to display. You can also use this dialog box to switch to
another mobile device, CD burning, or no device by making a selection in the
Mobile Device Type combo box.

To delete audio from your device, select one or more titles and press DELETE.
To erase all audio content from your mobile device, open the Devices menu and
choose Erase.

CD Burning Mode

CD Burning mode is used to burn audio titles onto CDs with your computers
CD-RW drive. These CDs can then be played in almost any audio CD player. For
more information on burning CDs, refer to AudibleManager Helpful Hints.

Transfer List Mode (AudibleManager 4.x only)

Transfer List mode is similar to a playlist and allows you to queue multiple
audio titles in a list. You can then transfer the entire list to a mobile
device or CD. To switch to Transfer List mode, press SHIFT+T. You can quickly
select all the content you want to transfer and add it to the transfer list by
pressing CTRL+T.

Tip: If you select multiple titles in the Audio Inbox folder and press CTRL+T,
AudibleManager switches to Transfer List mode and places the selected titles
in the transfer list.

You can also choose to transfer a portion or segment of an audio program to
your device. Select the title in the transfer list and press the APPLICATIONS
Key. Choose Show Details from the context menu. This allows you to set the
start and end times of the segment you want to transfer. You must specify both
the hour and minute of the starting and ending times. This feature is useful
if your device has memory constraints, but you still want to listen to
multiple titles. This allows you to keep a few hours of several titles on your
device at one time and then just refresh those portions you have listened to
with new material as necessary.

AudibleManager Helpful Hints

Audible Sound Effects

AudibleManager has an optional component that you can install that plays sound
effects when key functions start or finish. There are about 15 different sound
effects. These sound effects play when:

You start or quit AudibleManager
A title finishes downloading
A portable device is connected or disconnected
A transfer of a title to a device starts or finishes
To enable this feature, open the Edit menu (or the Tools menu if you are using
AudibleManager 4.x) and select Options. On the General tab, select the Enable
Sound Effects check box and then press ENTER. AudibleManager will now download
the sound effect component from the Internet and install it. The installation
will close and then restart AudibleManager.

Burning CDs with AudibleManager

This section describes the process for burning CDs with AudibleManager. You
can also visit the Audible Help Center online and download the Getting Started
Guide for CD burning.

CD Burning mode lets you copy downloaded content onto a standard audio CD.
This lets you listen to your Audible.com content on any CD player without the
need for a mobile device. To switch to CD Burning mode, press SHIFT+B.

The first time you press this keystroke, you may receive a message that the CD
Burn plugin is not installed. You will then be asked to download and install
this software from the Internet. You may need to restart your computer after
this process. After the plug-in is installed, AudibleManager requires you to
activate (register) your CD burner. The Activation Wizard will guide you
through this process.

Perform the following to burn a CD:

In the Mobile Devices pane, select "Go to CD Burn Mode" (if you are using
AudibleManager 4.x, press CTRL+B).
You must have a blank CD-R (write once) or CD-RW (write many times) disc in
your CD-RW drive.
Note: Audible generally recommends using CD-R disks since CD-RW discs do not
always play in all CD players and will typically take longer to create.

Move to the Audio Inbox or other content folder and select the title(s) you
want to put on the CD. Press CTRL+T to add the title to the list of titles.
From the Devices menu, choose Start CD Burn.
The CD Burn dialog displays, informing you of the length of the content that
will be put on the CD and approximately how many additional discs you will
need for the entire title to be transferred.
Press ENTER to begin copying the titles to CD.
Note: The standard length of most CDs is about 7477 minutes. At this time,
Audibles content providers do not allow you to burn MP3 formatted CDs. Audio
CDs created with AudibleManager are formatted using an industry standard
called Redbook. This ensures that most CD players will be able to read and
play these CDs.

Burning Additional CDs for Long Titles

Most audio books will require more than one CD for the entire title. After
each CD is finished, a dialog box prompts you to continue to burn the next
section of the title.

You do not need to burn all of the CDs at once. AudibleManager remembers that
the beginning of the next CD starts where the last CD ended. To burn the next
CD at a later time, simply follow the steps listed above, and AudibleManager
will automatically remember the correct starting point based on the last CD
you burned.

Note: Currently, only one title can be copied to an individual audio CD.

AudibleManager can also print CD labels that contain the title, author, and
segment time of the audio on the CD, as well as an image of the book jacket.
This feature requires CD label stock or paper.

Changing CD Burning Properties

AudibleManager currently supports two providers of CD burning plug-ins: Roxio
and Gear. When and where you get your AudibleManager software determines which
plug-in you can install.

Note: If you are unsure which plug-in you have, go to the Help menu and choose
About.

To change the default CD burning properties, open the Edit menu and choose
Options. Then press CTRL+TAB to move to the CD Burner Properties tab. If you
are using AudibleManager 4.x, open the Tools menu and choose Change CD Burner
Properties. The default burn speed for the Gear plug-in is one speed slower
than your CD Burners highest supported write speed. This is to ensure that
fewer overflow errors are encountered during the CD burning process. It is
recommended that you leave the speed unchanged to reduce the chance of errors.
However, if you are having no problems and wish to increase the speed, you can
select a higher value. If you are having CD overflow problems (for example,
you can begin the burn but it doesnt finish) you should choose a lower speed.

Note: The Gear and Roxio plug-ins generally support about 90% of CD-RW drives.
If you are having trouble with one of the plug-ins, you can contact Audible
Customer Support and request a link for an AudibleManager installation that
supports the other plug-in. This requires that you completely uninstall your
existing AudibleManager software, since only one plug-in can be used at a
time.

Using Expansion Memory for Mobile Devices

Most mobile device supported by Audible.com have expansion memory
capabilities. This allows you to increase the devices available memory.
Expansion memory cards come in different formats, such as MMC, SD,
CompactFlash, Memory Stick, and SmartMedia. Check with your device
manufacturer if you are unsure which kind of expansion memory your mobile
device uses.

For example, the Otis mobile device comes with 64 MB of main memory. It also
has a slot for SD or MMC expansion memory cards. You can add another 64 or 128
MB of expansion memory to the Otis, for a total 192 MB of memory. This allows
up to 51 hours of Format 2 content or 27 hours of Format 3 content to be
loaded at one time.

On most mobile devices, navigation between main memory and expansion memory is
seamless. The Otis, for example, moves directly from main memory to external
memory and then back to main memory.

Managing Programs and Files for Mobile Devices

To delete files on a mobile device:

Connect your mobile device to your computer.
Start AudibleManager.
Switch to the Mobile Device Programs pane using the TAB key. Press
CTRL+SHIFT+O.
Use the arrow keys to select the program you want to delete.
Press the DELETE key.
Select Yes when the Delete Confirmation dialog box displays and press ENTER.
Tip: If you want to delete an additional title, you must press CTRL+SHIFT+O or
use the TAB key to return to the mobile device contents pane.

To transfer a program to a mobile device:

Start AudibleManager.
Connect your mobile device to your computer.
In the Audible Inbox, select the program you want to transfer to the mobile
device.
Press CTRL+T to start the transfer.
Press ENTER on the OK button.

Audio install process, find the file named, "HJ Access.CakewalkWindowLayout,"
in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the JAWS version number)\Settings\Enu directory
on your computer. Copy this file to the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Pro
Audio 9 folder on your hard drive.

Next, Open the Cakewalk Pro Audio Program. Select the Layouts dialog from the
View menu. Uncheck the checkbox that is titled, "When opening a file, load its
layout." Press TAB to move to the Layouts list box, and select, "HJ Access."
Press TAB to move to the Load button and press ENTER.

Maximizing and Expanding the Track View

After opening a project in Cakewalk Pro Audio, maximize the window that
contains the Track view, by pressing ALT+DASH, X.

The Track View contains two panes: the left pane, which contains the track
information for a project, and the right pane, which contains the clips you
defined. The right pane, or the Clips pane, is largely inaccessible to JAWS.
Expand the left pane, or the Track pane to the right edge of the screen, by
pressing CTRL+SHIFT+X.

You should maximize the Track view window, and then maximize the Track pane
each time you open Cakewalk.

Tip: When using Cakewalk Pro Audio, if you hear any extraneous information
being spoken in the Track view, try pressing CTRL+SHIFT+X, then INSERT+ESC to
refresh the screen.

The Initialization File

To help reading the Event List View, you need to add a line of text to your
Cakewalk Pro Audio initialization file.

If you are running Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0, first, open Cakewalk, and select
Initialization File from the Options menu, and press ENTER. Press TAB to move
to the open edit field, and type, "WindowEyes" exactly as it appears here,
without the quotation marks. Next, press the TAB key to move to the Value Edit
field, and type, "1" without the quotation marks. Press ENTER on the Set
button. Now the "WindowsEyes=1" entry should be added to the Listbox
containing the initialization file entries.

If you are running Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.03 or higher, follow the same
procedure, except instead of typing, "WindowEyes" type "ScreenReader."

The Console View

MIDI Tracks


Audio Tracks


The Console View

Several controls in the Console view are inaccessible to JAWS. You can still
become productive using the Console View. The Console view resembles a
traditional missing console, containing many features of a typical mixing
board. Four sets of controls are in the console: MIDI tracks, audio tracks,
auxiliary busses, and the master controls. The Value window contains data for
the control you are currently using. If the control is a pot or a fader, you
can press the JAWS command of INSERT+A to read the value for that control. If
the control is something besides a pot or a fader, the value window will
contain the information for the last control you used that was a pot or a
fader. You can adjust the values of these controls in large increments by
pressing the LEFT and RIGHT BRACKETS. To adjust the controls in smaller
increments, use SHIFT+NUM PAD PLUS and SHIFT+NUM PAD MINUS.

Description of Console Controls

MIDI tracks:

Title
Press ENTER to edit the title, press ENTER again when finished.

Insert point
To insert an effect, right click. To change effect parameters, press ENTER on
this field. Note that you will need to press TAB to move away from this field
and then return if you have just inserted an effect.

Port
Pressing ENTER here drops down a list of available ports. The currently
selected port will have a check mark, which is spoken when you press the DOWN
ARROW move to it. Pressing ENTER while in this list box will change the port
of the track to the newly selected port. You can press ESC to exit this list
without making a change.

MIDI channel
Pressing ENTER here opens a list box of the available MIDI channels. This list
behaves like the port list.

Bank

Like the port and channel, this opens up a list box when ENTER is pressed.
Depending on the instrument assigned to the track, a list of available banks
may or may not appear.

Patch

This drops down a list of the patches in the currently selected bank. You can
change the patch (sound) of the track here.

Chorus send
When on this field, pressing the LEFT and RIGHT BRACKET keys will decrease or
increase the value of MIDI controller 93, which is the chorus amount, in large
increments. Pressing SHIFT+NUM PAD +  or PERIOD increases or decreases the
value in single steps, respectfully.

Reverb
This works the same way as the chorus parameter, but changes the value of MIDI
controller 91 (reverb)


Mute

Pressing ENTER toggles the mute status of the track on and off.

Solo

Pressing ENTER toggles the solo status of the track on and off.

Arm

Pressing ENTER toggles the record-armed status of the track between armed and
not armed.

Pan

This works like the chorus and reverb fields. A value of 64 is center.

Volume

This is another value field like chorus and reverb.

Source

This is a List box like the port and channel fields. It contains all the
available sources for a track. Normally this is set to "none" for MIDI tracks.

Audio tracks:

Title

Pressing ENTER here opens an edit box like on a MIDI track.

Insert point

Pressing the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON here allows you to select from among your
available directed effects. You can stack effects by inserting additional
effects here, even if one has already been inserted. Pressing ENTER while on
this field will open up the parameters window for the first effect that has
been inserted. To change parameters of other effects on the track, you need to
route JAWS cursor to PC cursor and move up through the window until you get to
the desired effect. Then press the left mouse button.

Aux send 1 level

This field sets the value of the aux send level for the track. Pressing the
RIGHT and LEFT BRACKET keys changes the value in large increments, ranging
from "inf" to 0 DB. SHIFT+NUM PAD PLUS or MINUS increases or decreases the
value in small increments. The change in value will not be reflected until you
press TAB to move away from the field and then return to it.

Aux 1 send enable toggle

Pressing ENTER while on this field toggles the status of the aux send enable
button. The default is disabled. It must be enabled for the aux send to work.
There is no indication of this status.

Aux 2 send level

This is the same as the aux send 1 level.

Aux 2 send enable
This is the same as the aux 1 enable switch.

Note:There will be as many pairs of these fields, (send level and send enable)
as there are aux buses. The number of aux buses is determined in the global
options.

Mute

Solo

Arm

Pan

Level

Output port

Pressing ENTER here will drop down a list of available ports.

Source

Pressing ENTER here drops down a list of available record sources.

Aux

Name

You can rename this field from the default aux 1 if you want.

Insert point

Aux send pan

Pre/post switch.

Pressing ENTER here toggle between pre and post fader for the aux send. It is
like the send enables in that there is no indication. The default is pre
fader.

Aux return level

SlideShow Mode

JAWS does not provide meaningful feedback when you run a slide show. We
recommend that you prepare your notes in an alternate format.

Slide Edit Mode

While working in Slide Edit mode, use the TAB key to move between objects and
press ENTER to edit an objects text.

INSERT+F1

Press INSERT+F1 to hear useful information regarding what is expected by
Presentations. For instance, INSERT+F1 may tell you the current mode in which
you are working or the tool that you are using.

Note: JAWS commands for Corel Presentations are not available from within the
Virtual Viewer. Press ESC to exit the Virtual Viewer before entering JAWS
commands.

Object Creation Mode

If you are working in object creation mode, you can move the tool to a
location on the slide and drop the selected object there. Use the arrow keys
to announce the tools position. The units of measure are in WP Units by
default, and are relative to the bottom left side of the slide. To change the
unit of measure spoken by JAWS to Points, use the Adjust JAWS Options dialog
box, by pressing INSERT+V. Select the appropriate option, and the setting is
retained, even if you exit Presentations.

Object Text Edit Mode

If JAWS does not read the text in the object text edit mode, adjust the screen
font size using the Zoom dialog, which you can find on the View menu.

In Corel Presentation 10, ALT+TAB moves your focus from the Writing Tools
Dialog to the Object Text Edit Mode. However, you cannot use this same command
to move the focus back to the Writing Tools Dialog. JAWS provides a new
command, ALT+INSERT+TAB that moves the focus back to the last Writing Tool
that you were using. This keystroke only works if the current focus is on the
Object Text Edit Mode screen.

Read Slide Text

To read text on a slide, use the Say All command, INSERT+DOWN ARROW. When you
are at the Slide Edit Level, you will not find the cursor on the text when you
stop reading, because there is no cursor.

Eudora is an e-mail package complete with address book and spell checker. It
allows you to compose, send, and receive email messages quickly and easily.
Read incoming messages in Eudora in one of two ways, either as plain text
(Microsoft Viewer disabled) or with the virtual cursor (Microsoft Viewer
enabled). Using JAWS to navigate Eudora e-mail messages with the Microsoft
Viewer turned on is much like reading a Web page in Internet Explorer. Please
visit http://www.eudora.com for more information about Eudora.

Note: The information in this section has been verified for Eudora versions
4.x and 5.x. The level of support JAWS provides for other versions of this
product may vary.

Eudora Helpful Hints

Eudora - Helpful Hints

Optimizing Eudora

To optimize Eudora's performance with JAWS, we recommend the following:

Maximize All Windows

Make sure that the main parent window and all child windows are maximized.
Even after doing so, Eudora will sometimes return child windows to a restored
state, affecting how well JAWS reads them. If you experience this, open the
Adjust JAWS Options dialog, INSERT+V, move to Mailboxes Should Be, and press
SPACEBAR to set it to Maximized for Best Speaking.

Microsoft Viewer

Turn on the Microsoft Viewer. Many email messages are richly formatted as if
they were internet web pages and contain information which is only fully
reported if the Microsoft Viewer is turned on. This allows email messages to
be read in Eudora much like they are read in Internet Explorer. Email messages
are read with the virtual cursor, and all web page types of formatting are
reported. To turn on the Microsoft Viewer, open the tools menu (ALT+T), press
O for Options, arrow to the Viewing Mail category, and TAB to the Use
Microsoft's Viewer checkbox. Press SPACEBAR to check this item if it is not
already checked. Close Eudora and restart it to make sure this change takes
effect.

Move Directly from Message to Message

Configure Eudora so you can move from message body to message body with
ALT+LEFT or RIGHT ARROW - without returning to the message list. To do this,
open the Tools menu with ALT+T, press O for Options, arrow to the
Miscellaneous category, and TAB to the checkbox labeled Alt+Arrow Keys. Make
sure this is checked. Make sure that the first checkbox in this category,
Unmodified Arrow Keys, is not checked. If this option is checked, then you
will not be able to use the arrow keys to navigate the text within a message.
Instead, the arrow keys will move focus from message to message.

Hear Download Information

Choose whether you wish to hear detailed information about the number of
messages being downloaded while checking mail. If you wish to hear this
information at any time, open the Tools menu with ALT+T, press O for Options,
and arrow to the Background Tasks category. Then TAB to the checkbox called
Bring Task Status Window to Front and make sure it is checked. This is the
window which displays the download information during mail checks. If this
option is enabled, you can turn the automatic speaking of that information
on/off by pressing the command CTRL+SHIFT+D. You can also change the default
status for this option by using the new option in the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog to enable or disable the speaking of download information. This new
default is used every time Eudora is started. Whichever default setting is
chosen, you can always toggle the speaking of download information on/off for
the current session of Eudora by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+D. Also, you can elect to
bring the Task Status window to the front at any time by opening it with
CTRL+4, even if the Bring Task Status Window to Front checkbox has not been
checked in Eudora options.

F6 in Various Windows

F6 performs a particular function in certain Eudora windows such as the
Address Book and Filters windows. In the Address Book, for example, F6 is used
to switch views from the list of nicknames where one is normally placed upon
opening this window to the detailed information for each nickname. If a
particular nickname is highlighted, pressing F6 switches focus to a pane where
the full name, email address, and other information for that nickname are
displayed. Similarly, in the Filters window, pressing F6 switches the view
from the list of filters to the detailed information for that filter. To
modify a filter, highlight it in the list and press F6. Also, after a new
filter is first created by pressing the New button or ALT+N, pressing F6 will
switch focus to the new filter's information pane where you can type in the
desired settings. In both the Address Book and Filters windows, pressing F6 a
second time switches focus back to the nickname or filters lists.

Preview Pane

Eudora can be set up to display a Preview Pane below the mailbox list. This
Preview Pane displays part of the message currently highlighted in the list.
To enable or disable the Preview Pane, open the Tools menu (ALT+T), press O
for Options, arrow to Viewing Mail, and TAB to the Show Message Preview Pane
checkbox. Press SPACEBAR to check or clear this item. The JAWS command
ALT+CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW is used to read this pane without opening the
message. If the message is short, its entire contents can be read in this way.
This can greatly speed up the reading of messages since it saves the time
needed to open each message. In Eudora 5.1, the Preview Pane works very well
with JAWS and can be used without difficulties. In Eudora 4.2/4.3, the Preview
Pane can sometimes steal focus from the mailbox list if the Microsoft Viewer
has been enabled. If this occurs, just press TAB twice to return focus to the
mailbox list.

Two Find Dialogs

Eudora has two types of Find dialogs. The first is the conventional type which
is used to find text within a message. It is accessed with CTRL+SHIFT+F. This
dialog does not work if the Microsoft Viewer is being used, and attempting to
activate it brings up the JAWS Find dialog instead. The second, more advanced
Find dialog is called Find Messages. This is accessed with CTRL+F, and is used
to find messages containing specified text residing in any of Eudora's
mailboxes. Advanced search parameters can be specified, and any or all of
Eudora's mailboxes can be selected for the search. For information on new JAWS
features supporting the Find Messages dialog, refer to Eudora What's New.

Verbosity Settings

There are several items in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box, INSERT+V. These
items allow you to set default options for how JAWS behaves in certain
situations. All of these settings are saved to a special file when the Adjust
JAWS Options dialog box is closed, and the choices are used in all future
sessions of Eudora. The options are as follows.

Default Speaking of Download Information

Eudora can announce the status of message downloading while checking and/or
sending mail. The first item in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog allows you to
turn this option on and off by default. For this option to work properly, you
must open the Options dialog from the Tools menu, select the Background Tasks
option, and tab to and check the Bring Task Status Window to Front checkbox.
As in the past, you can still elect to turn the speaking of download
information on or off just for the current session of Eudora by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+D, but that setting is not saved for future sessions of Eudora.
Changing the default behavior in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog also updates
the session setting to keep the two synchronized and prevent confusion.

Speak Shortcut Keys As

Set JAWS to announce Descriptive Names or Command Combinations for Eudora and
JAWS shortcut keys. This allows you to hear the command spoken either as what
it does or as the key combination pressed. For example, when checking mail,
you can hear either "Check Mail" or "CTRL+M," depending on how this preference
is set.

Windows Should Be

Set this option to Maximized for Best Speaking or Changed as Directed by
Eudora. Eudora tends to restore mailboxes and windows that have been
maximized. This results in JAWS occasionally reading information incorrectly.
If you set this option to Maximized for Best Speaking, JAWS checks to make
sure Eudora windows are maximized whenever focus changes between mailboxes,
and will maximize any windows Eudora has restored.

Say Message Data

Set this option to Always or If Open From Another Message. When this option is
set to Always, you always hear the message data such as sender, subject, date,
etc., when opening the message. If set to If Open From Another Message, the
message data is only heard if you move from message body to message body using
ALT+LEFT ARROW and ALT+RIGHT ARROW. The message data is not heard if the
message is open from a mailbox. If you are opening a message from a mailbox,
the message data is already right there and you may not wish to have the
information repeated.

When Opening Message

Set this option to Speak Link Count or Do Not Speak Link Count. When set to
the first option, JAWS announces how many links the message contains. When set
to the second option, this message is not heard.

Opened Messages

Set this option to Will Read automatically or Will Not Read automatically. If
the first is chosen, newly opened messages begin reading by themselves. If the
second is chosen, you must start reading the message manually.

When Replying

Set this option to Insert Blank Lines at Top or Don't Insert Blank Lines at
Top. This determines whether or not JAWS inserts two blank lines at the top of
the message composition window after you press CTRL+R or CTRL+SHIFT+R to reply
to a message. The default option is Don't Insert Blank Lines at Top.

Note: This option only works when you reply to messages using the shortcut
keys CTRL+R and CTRL+SHIFT+R. If you reply using options from the Messages
menu, the blank lines are not inserted.

In the Find Messages Dialog

Eudora's Find Messages dialog, opens using CTRL+F. In addition to pressing F6
to move to the list of search results, you can now press SHIFT+F6 to move to
the Mailboxes treeview to select which mailboxes are included in your search.
Move through the listed mailboxes with UP or DOWN ARROW, and press SPACEBAR to
check or clear selection of a mailbox.

Press ALT+F6 to hear how many mailboxes are selected or how many search
matches were found.

Reading of Attachments List

From the body of a message, you can now press CTRL+SHIFT+H to read and edit
the attachments list.

Skipping Past Headers

Press ALT+CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW to skip past the headers in a message and
start reading the message. This is useful if you have moved to the top of the
message window.

CTRL+DELETE

JAWS now reads the word the cursor lands on after CTRL+DELETE is used to
delete the current word in an edit field inside the message body.

CTRL+DELETE now deletes everything to the right of the cursor if the cursor is
in the To, Subject, Cc, or Bcc fields. In this case JAWS now says "Delete
Right" and speaks everything remaining to the left of the cursor.

Command Descriptions for Eudora

Read Misspelled Word And Suggestion use CTRL+INSERT+6. Reads the misspelled
word and default suggestion when using the spell checker.

Move to Message Body use CTRL+SHIFT+M. Moves the cursor to the message body
window from the To, Cc, Bcc, Subject or Attach fields. This only applies to
message composition windows. If your cursor seems stuck in the Attach
(attachments) edit box, this command moves to the message body. When it is
pressed, the PC cursor is placed at the top of the message body edit window
and the first full line of the message is read.

Delete Current Message use CTRL+D. Deletes the current message. If focus is on
a mailbox, the message data for the next message is spoken. If focus is within
a message body, then the next message is opened and read, providing that
message has never been read before. If the next message has already been read,
then focus is placed on the next message in the mailbox list.

Toggle Speaking of Download Progress use CTRL+SHIFT+D. Toggles the speaking of
message download progress ON/OFF. (Activates or silences download and upload
information.) During the sending and checking of mail, the maximum amount of
information about mail being sent and received is not spoken automatically
unless toggled on with this command. This command is a temporary setting and
is not retained in future sessions of Eudora. In addition, you must set up
Eudora to bring the Task Status window to the foreground during mail checks.
To do this, open the Tools menu (ALT+T), press O for Options, then arrow to
Background Tasks. TAB to the Bring Task Status Window to Front check box.
Press SPACEBAR to toggle this option.

Close Task Status Window use CTRL+INSERT+F4. Closes the task Status and error
list views. You are returned to the last mailbox messages list which had focus
before the Task Status window was opened.

Open Task Status Window use CTRL+4. Manually opens the Task Status window for
monitoring of message download progress. Use this command if Eudora has not
been configured to open the Task Status window automatically during mail
checks.

Read Preview Pane use CTRL+INSERT+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW. If the Preview Pane is
displayed, this command reads its contents. To enable or disable the Preview
Pane, open the Tools menu (ALT+T), press O for Options, arrow to Viewing Mail,
and TAB to the Show Message Preview Pane check box. Press SPACEBAR to check or
clear this item.

Skip Past Headers use ALT+CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW. The message header
information at the top of each message is normally skipped automatically when
opening a message. However, if you find the cursor within the message headers,
this command skips past the headers and starts reading the message
automatically.

Read From Field use ALT+1. Reads the contents of the From field without moving
the cursor. To change the contents of this field, press ALT+R while composing
a message. This will open a list of alternative personalities to choose from
if such personalities have been configured.

Read To Field use CTRL+SHIFT+T. Reads the contents of the To field without
moving the cursor. Pressing the command twice quickly moves the cursor to the
field for editing.

Read CC Field use CTRL+SHIFT+C. Reads the contents of the CC field without
moving the cursor. Pressing the command twice quickly moves the cursor to the
field for editing.

Read BCC Field use CTRL+SHIFT+B. Reads the contents of the BCC field without
moving the cursor. Pressing the command twice quickly moves the cursor to the
field for editing.

Read Attach Field use CTRL+SHIFT+H. Reads the contents of the Attach field
without moving the cursor. Pressing the command twice quickly moves the cursor
to the field for editing.

Read Subject Field use ALT+5. Reads the contents of the Subject field without
moving the cursor. Pressing the command twice quickly moves the cursor to the
field for editing.

Open Find Results List use F6. Opens the find results list in the Find
Messages dialog. If the Find Messages dialog is not active, the F6 key is
passed on to the application where it performs its normal functions.

Open Mailboxes Treeview use SHIFT+F6. Opens the mailbox tree view in the Find
Messages dialog to allow you to select which mailboxes are to be searched.

Read Number of Selected Mailboxes or Messages Found use ALT+F6. Reads either
the number of mailboxes selected for the search or the number of messages
found in the search.

Choose a Personality and Begin New Message use CTRL+SHIFT+N. Opens a dialog
where you can select your personality and then open a new message.

Eudora What's New

Adjust JAWS Options

The Adjust JAWS Options (INSERT+V) allow you to set default options for how
JAWS behaves in certain situations. These settings are saved to a special file
when the options dialog box is closed, and the choices are used in all future
sessions of Eudora. The options are as follows.

Default Speaking of Download Information

Eudora can announce the status of message downloading while checking and/or
sending mail. The first item in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog allows you to
turn this option on and off by default. For this option to work properly, you
must open the Options dialog from the Tools menu, select the Background Tasks
option, and tab to and check the Bring Task Status Window to Front checkbox.
As in the past, you can still elect to turn the speaking of download
information on or off just for the current session of Eudora by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+D, but that setting is not saved for future sessions of Eudora.
Changing the default behavior in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog also updates
the session setting to keep the two synchronized and prevent confusion.

Speak Shortcut Keys As

Set JAWS to announce Descriptive Names or Command Combinations for Eudora and
JAWS shortcut keys. This allows you to hear the command spoken either as what
it does or as the key combination pressed. For example, when checking mail,
you can hear either "Check Mail" or "CTRL+M," depending on how this preference
is set.

Windows Should Be

Set this option to Maximized for Best Speaking or Changed as Directed by
Eudora. Eudora tends to restore mailboxes and windows that have been
maximized. This results in JAWS occasionally reading information incorrectly.
If you set this option to Maximized for Best Speaking, JAWS checks to make
sure Eudora windows are maximized whenever focus changes between mailboxes,
and will maximize any windows Eudora has restored.

Say Message Data

Set this option to Always or If Open From Another Message. When this option is
set to Always, you always hear the message data such as sender, subject, date,
etc., when opening the message. If set to If Open From Another Message, the
message data is only heard if you move from message body to message body using
ALT+LEFT ARROW and ALT+RIGHT ARROW. The message data is not heard if the
message is open from a mailbox. If you are opening a message from a mailbox,
the message data is already right there and you may not wish to have the
information repeated.

When Opening Message

Set this option to Speak Link Count or Do Not Speak Link Count. When set to
the first option, JAWS announces how many links the message contains. When set
to the second option, this message is not heard.

Opened Messages

Set this option to Will Read automatically or Will Not Read automatically. If
the first is chosen, newly opened messages begin reading by themselves. If the
second is chosen, you must start reading the message manually.

When Replying

Set this option to Insert Blank Lines at Top or Don't Insert Blank Lines at
Top. This determines whether or not JAWS inserts two blank lines at the top of
the message composition window after you press CTRL+R or CTRL+SHIFT+R to reply
to a message. The default option is Don't Insert Blank Lines at Top.

Note: This option only works when you reply to messages using the shortcut
keys CTRL+R and CTRL+SHIFT+R. If you reply using options from the Messages
menu, the blank lines are not inserted.

Enhancements to Find Messages Dialog

New functionality has been added for Eudora's Find Messages dialog, opened
with CTRL+F. In addition to pressing F6 to move to the list of search results,
you can now press SHIFT+F6 to move to the Mailboxes treeview to select which
mailboxes are included in your search. Move through the listed mailboxes with
UP or DOWN ARROW, and press SPACEBAR to check or clear selection of a mailbox.

Press ALT+F6 to hear how many mailboxes are selected or how many search
matches were found.

Reading of Attachments List

From the body of a message, you can now press CTRL+SHIFT+H to read and edit
the attachments list.

Skipping Past Headers

Press ALT+CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW to skip past the headers in a message and
start reading the message. This is useful if you have moved to the top of the
message window.

Improved Feedback With CTRL+DELETE

JAWS now reads the word the cursor lands on after CTRL+DELETE is used to
delete the current word in an edit field inside the message body.

CTRL+DELETE now deletes everything to the right of the cursor if the cursor is
in the To, Subject, Cc, or Bcc fields. In this case JAWS now says "Delete
Right" and speaks everything remaining to the left of the cursor.

Choose a Personality and Open a New Message

You can now compose email using different personalities. Eudora's personality
feature is a way for several people to share a computer and Eudora. Press
CTRL+SHIFT+N to compose a message with a different personality. When you log
on under your personality, you will access your own mail and your own contacts
list.

Formatta Filler Helpful Hints

All .pff files are relatively accessible, provided the Formatta JAWS scripts
are installed. However, you can make eForms created in Formatta Designer even
more accessible in several ways. When you move to an edit field on a form,
JAWS reads the label property associated with each field. The form author can
place information for JAWS to read in this field. In addition, you can read
Bubble Tips, which appear when you move into a field, by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+D. Also, the form author can associate any text field with an edit
field when properly named. All of these options allow a form designer to
create a form that is very accessible with JAWS.

Designing Accessible eForms

The accessibility of a .pff eForm depends on how the form was designed. If a
form was created without accessibility in mind, then the form may not read
properly. Form authors need to be aware of this when designing eForms. The
following are some areas to consider when designing accessible eForms:

Use the field label, as JAWS reads this when the user moves into the field by
pressing the TAB key.
Use Bubble Tips for additional information.
Associate text fields with corresponding edit fields so they JAWS reads then
when the user moves into the field by pressing the TAB key.
Set the background color to automatic to allow the user to change the color
settings.
Use hidden fields for extensive sections of text.
You can find additional accessibility techniques in the Designer online help.
The question "How do I add 508 capability?" under the Frequently Asked
Questions provides more detail.

JAWS uses a memory buffer of information from the active window to make speech
flow more smoothly. If it seems as though JAWS may be skipping characters or
words while reading, press INSERT+ESC. This command refreshes the memory
buffer so JAWS can read the screen correctly.

In Goldmine version 4.0, use a dark background color to optimize JAWS
performance with Goldmine. Changing the background color will change the color
of the field labels and data of your records, so that you can use the JAWS
keystrokes to Select a Page and to Read Field Labels.

Warning: For Goldmine 5.0 or higher, do not change the background color. Leave
the default background for the best results with JAWS.

Follow these instructions to change the background color:

Open the Edit menu by pressing ALT+E.
Press the DOWN ARROW key to navigate to the Preferences menu item or press the
letter F.
In the Preferences multi-page dialog, press CTRL+TAB to display the Record
page. You should hear JAWS speak something like, "Appearance bright background

The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia Installation Program

When you first insert disk 1 of The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, the
installation program for the encyclopedia will start automatically. If auto
run is not enabled on your computer system you will need to start the
installation program yourself by following the instructions provided by
Grolier.

The installation program is designed much like any other installation program.
It is composed of various dialog boxes that introduce the encyclopedia and
walk you through the process of installing it on your computer system.

One hot key has been provided to you to improve the accessibility of one of
the dialog boxes that make up this installation program. In the dialog box
titled Choose Destination Location, the keystroke Review Destination
Directory, CTRL+SHIFT+R, has been provided to allow you to have JAWS repeat
the destination directory information displayed in this dialog so you may
decide if you wish to use that directory or select another directory.

The QuickTime 3.0 Installation Program

The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia makes use of a third party application
provided by Apple Computer, Inc., QuickTime 3.0, to enable some of their
multimedia features. The installation program for the encyclopedia
automatically launches the QuickTime 3.0 installation program after it has
finished setting up the encyclopedia itself.

Because this setup dialog contains a good deal of text written in image files,
and is therefore inaccessible to JAWS, a hot key has been provided that will
allow you to have JAWS repeat the text that is spoken when the dialog first
gains focus. This keystroke is Review Dialog Text, CTRL+INSERT+B.

In addition to the Review Dialog Text command, several other hot keys have
been provided for use in the QuickTime 3.0 installation program. They are
Review Destination Directory, Review Plug In Directories, Review Space
Requirements, and Read Component Description.

The hot key Review Destination Directory, CTRL+SHIFT+R, allows you to review
the destination directory information displayed in the Setup Type dialog of
the QuickTime 3.0 installation program.

The hot key Review Plug In Directories, CTRL+INSERT+R, allows you to review
the QuickTime Plug in the Destination directory information that is displayed
in the QuickTime Plug In Options dialog box of the QuickTime 3.0 Installation
program.

The hot key Review Space Requirements, ALT+SHIFT+R, allows you to review the
space requirements information that is displayed in the Installation
Components and Sub Components dialog of the QuickTime 3.0 installation
program.

The hot key Read Component Description, ALT+SHIFT+C, allows you to have JAWS
read the description of the currently selected component in the Components
Multi Select List Box, which is found in the Installation Components and Sub
Components dialog box of the QuickTime 3.0 installation program.

The Encyclopedia Registration Program

The first time you start The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia a dialog box is
displayed prompting you to register your copy of the encyclopedia. This dialog
is composed of a graphical background that cannot be read by JAWS and several
controls. The scripts for the encyclopedia have been designed so that this
fact does not affect the reading of the dialog when it first gains focus.
However, you will not be able to review this information via the JAWS Cursor
or the Read Box in Tab Order command. The hot key Review Dialog Text,
CTRL+INSERT+B, has been provided to allow you to repeat the information that
is spoken when this dialog box first gains focus.

The registration component of the encyclopedia is composed of several
additional dialog boxes. One of these dialogs is a form that prompts you for
information about yourself and where you purchased the encyclopedia. Another
dialog box prompts you for the method you would like to use for sending this
information to Grolier Interactive, Inc.

The Would You Like to Run The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia Dialog

Once you have installed The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia on your system,
whenever you insert disk 1 of the encyclopedia into your CD ROM, a dialog box
prompting you for whether or not you would like to run the encyclopedia will
be displayed, assuming you have CD auto run enabled on your system. This
dialog box is a non standard, graphically based dialog that contains no text
that JAWS is capable of recognizing. This dialog box is handled just like all
of the other dialog boxes of its type found throughout the encyclopedia. While
it is impossible to review the text that is spoken when the dialog first comes
into focus using the JAWS Cursor or the Read Box in Tab Order command,
pressing Review Dialog Text, CTRL+INSERT+B, can repeat the text contained
within the graphical background of JAWS.

In addition to the highly graphical nature of the dialog box, it does not
support keyboard navigation between controls. The dialog box contains two
controls, an OK button and a Cancel button. Neither of these controls is in
focus when the dialog box is created. In addition, it is impossible to bring
either of these controls into focus using the keyboard. In fact, it is
impossible to activate one of these buttons without the use of the mouse.

Use the hot key Select An Option, INSERT+F8, to display a list box from which
you may choose to continue to run the encyclopedia or cancel.

The Encyclopedia Primary Application Window

Once you have completed the installation of the encyclopedia and have gone
through the registration process, the encyclopedia itself is loaded. The first
window that appears when the encyclopedia loads is a highly graphical screen
that contains various hotspots that point to different sections of the
encyclopedia. Unfortunately, it is impossible for JAWS to recognize these
hotspots. Therefore, this initial screen of the encyclopedia is inaccessible
using JAWS. You can disable the title screen to get around this problem.
Follow the following steps.

The first time a JAWS user runs The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, JAWS will
detect the title screen and speak a message that states that this screen is
inaccessible and that it is necessary to press a hot key that will disable the
title screen.

To disable Title Screen, you must first have a sighted individual select one
of the hotspots that appear on the Title Screen. It is recommended to select
the Articles section, since that is used most often. Once your sighted friend
has done this, the main application window of the encyclopedia will be opened
and you may perform the rest of the procedure required for disabling the Title
Screen.

The command, Import Registry Entry,CTRL+ INSERT+SHIFT+I, operates by exiting
the encyclopedia and then running a file found in the JAWS Settings directory
named GME2000.REG for Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia 2000, or GME99.REG for
Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia 1999. This file, when run, imports the Windows
registry settings that are necessary to disable the title screen. After this
file is run, you may restart the encyclopedia and the title screen will no
longer appear.

Once you have proceeded past the introductory screen of the encyclopedia, the
primary application window of The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia is
displayed. This window is much like many other main application windows. It is
composed of a title bar, a menu bar, a tool bar, and various child windows.
The child windows of the main application window are subdivided into to main
sections, the Left Hand Pane and the Right Hand Pane.

The Left Hand Pane of the Primary Application Window

The Left Hand Pane of primary application window of The Grolier Multimedia
Encyclopedia is primarily used for navigating between and searching for the
various articles that make up the encyclopedia. It is constructed much like a
multiple page dialog box. It is composed of three pages, the Browse page, the
Search page, and the Markers page. The purpose of each page and a description
of how they may be accessed using JAWS can be found in the section Using The
Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, Left Hand Pane.

The Right Hand Pane of the Primary Application Window

The Right Hand Pane of primary application window of The Grolier Multimedia
Encyclopedia is where the actual text of the articles that makes up the
encyclopedia and the images related to the articles are displayed. It is
composed of one to five pages, depending on the active article and the current
section of the encyclopedia. A description of how this pane of the
encyclopedias primary application window may be found in the section

Using The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, Right Hand Pane.


Back to Primary Application Window


Using The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, Left Hand Pane

The Left Hand Pane of The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia is used for
navigation between articles and searching for articles that pertain to a
particular subject matter. It is composed of three pages, the Browse page, the
Search page, and the Markers page.

The Browse page serves the same purpose as a table of contents. It allows you
to view all of the articles contained in the encyclopedia listed in
alphabetical order. When you see an article you would like to read, you may
simply press ENTER on that item in the Topics List box of the Browse page.
Then that article will be opened and displayed in the Right Hand Pane of the
encyclopedia. Access to this section will be described in the next section,

Using The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, Right Hand Pane.


The Search page is more sophisticated than the Browse page. It goes beyond a
simple table of contents for the encyclopedia. It allows you to search for
articles that pertain to a specific topic. You have an option of performing a
simple search or pressing the complex button found on this page to bring up
the complex search dialog. Once you have conducted a search, the topics that
matched your search request, if any, will be listed in the Search Results List
box. Once you have selected an article from the list that most pertains to
your topic, you may open that topic in the Right Hand Pane by pressing ENTER.
See the next section for more information on what to do next.

The Markers page allows you to add and organize bookmarks. If you find an
article that particularly interests you, you may bookmark it so that you may
easily return to it. You can even maintain different bookmark lists for
different subjects. The Markers page provides an excellent method of being
able to ensure that you will be able to easily and quickly return to articles
that are of the most importance to you.

While it is possible to navigate between the pages of the Left Hand Pane using
the keyboard, the procedure for doing this is not as straight forward as most
common multi-page dialog boxes. Therefore a Select A Page hot key, INSERT+F9,
has been provided to allow you to select the page you would like to activate
from a list box. This will display a list of pages found in the Left Hand Pane
regardless of which pane is currently active.

Hot Key Help, which is called by pressing INSERT+H, provides access to various
JAWS specific hotkeys that may be used in the Left Hand Pane as well as
listing the hotkeys that are available for the various controls found on the
currently active page of the Left Hand Pane. Screen Sensitive Help, which is
called by pressing INSERT+F1, is available for obtaining a general description
of the currently active control.

Should the Left Hand Pane loose focus for any reason, use Focus To Left Hand
Pane, CTR;+SHIFT+L. This command will restore focus to the left hand pane. An
alternative keystroke for this command is ALT+CTRL+LEFT ARROW.

Using The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, Right Hand Pane

The most important and therefore most complex portion of the encyclopedia is
the Right Hand Pane of the primary application window. This is for various
reasons. The first reason is that this pane is highly dynamic. The Right Hand
Pane can consist of anywhere between one and five pages, depending on the
active section of the encyclopedia and the active article. Sometimes the
active page of the Right Hand Pane contains a list box or an article view
window that may be accessed by JAWS.

On other occasions, the active page of the Right Hand Pane contains only
images that cannot be accessed by JAWS. These pages therefore are not
accessible to the blind JAWS user. However, a low vision individual who may be
using a screen magnification product such as MAGic may have full access to the
Right Hand Pane of the encyclopedia.

The JAWS scripts for the Right Hand Pane of the encyclopedia have been
designed to give the JAWS user as much access to this part of the encyclopedia
as is possible with the greatest ease and lack of confusion as possible.
However, it is important that you read this document thoroughly, especially
this section and the next, in order that you may become fully aware of what
you may and may not do using JAWS with The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia.

The Right Hand Pane of the encyclopedia displays different information
depending on the active section and the active article in the active section.
There are a total of seven sections of the encyclopedia. They are as follows:
Articles, Media, Atlas, Timelines, Research Starters, Interactivities, and
Dictionary. Of these sections, only one, the Dictionary section, does not make
use of the Right Hand Pane. One of these sections, the Research Starters
section, is completely graphical in nature and is therefore completely
inaccessible to the blind JAWS user. A low vision JAWS user who also uses a
screen magnification product should also be able to make use of this section
of the encyclopedia.

There are several methods of switching between sections of the encyclopedia.
You may use the keystrokes that are built into the encyclopedia by Grolier
Interactive for the purpose. These keystrokes are as follows:


Section


Keystroke


Articles


CTRL+1


Media


CTRL+2


Atlas


CTRL+3


Timelines


CTRL+4


Research Starters


CTRL+5


Interactivities


CTRL+6


Dictionary


CTRL+7

For a reminder of these keystrokes, press INSERT+W, from anywhere in the main
application window of the encyclopedia, and you will get Window Keys Help.

You may also use the Select A Section hot key, CTRL+INSERT+F9, to switch
between sections of the encyclopedia. This displays a list box that allows you
to select which section of the encyclopedia you would like to activate.

Most useful to you is the Articles section. This section allows you to access
the text of all articles that are found in the encyclopedia. When this section
is active, the Right Hand Pane may be composed of anywhere between one and
five pages. The possible pages in a typical article are Text, Related Media,
Outline, Picture, and Related Articles. The most useful of these pages are the
Text, Outline, and Related Articles pages. This is because all of the
information found in these pages can be accessed using JAWS. The JAWS user can
only access portions of the information contained in the Picture and Related
Media pages due to the typically highly graphical nature of these pages. The
default page of the Right Hand Pane when a selection is opened in the Articles
section is the Text page.

The Text page, no matter what the active section of the encyclopedia, is
primarily composed of an Article View window. This window is similar to a read
only rich edit window. Once this window gains focus, it contains a cursor that
you can use to navigate through the text of the article much like you would a
word processing document. When you reach the bottom of a particular page of
the text, the test will automatically begin scrolling, thus bringing more of
the article into view, just as it does in a typical word processor. Below and
surrounding the Article View window are a number of other controls. Pressing
the TAB key in order to navigate between controls may access some of these
controls. Others should be accessed in another manner. This method will be
described later in this document. These controls allow you to perform actions
such as searching the current article for a specific string of text and
opening a related article in one of Groliers several online resources.

The Article View window may contain various hyperlinks that point to either
other articles or resources found on the Internet that are related to the
article text. As you are navigating in the Article View window using various
navigation commands, JAWS will speak the message string when the cursor is
positioned on a link. If you wish to follow the link, all you need to do is
press the ENTER key and the appropriate item associated with the will be
opened.

The Media section allows you to quickly find and view articles that are
associated with some form of multimedia. The forms of multimedia that may be
found are as follows: Picture, Animation, Map, Movie, Table, Fact Box, and
Science Question and Answer. Each media object may have several pages in the
right hand pane. For example: all media objects have a page that is named
after the type of media object, i.e. Picture page of a Picture media object,
Animation page for an Animation media object, etc. Most media objects also
have additional pages, such as a Text page that contains the text of the
article that is most closely related to the media object and a Related
Articles page that lists other articles that are related to the media object.

The Picture, Panorama, Table, Fact Box, and Science Question and Answer, and
Sound media objects, while they are graphical in nature, also contain textual
information that may be accessed by JAWS. In addition the Sound media object
will play a sound such as a musical excerpt or an animal sound. If you are
using a software synthesizer with JAWS, JAWS may interfere with some of these
Sound media objects. The other media objects, Animation, Map, and Movie, do
not contain textual information that can be accessed by JAWS, and JAWS does
not support these objects. However, you may still open an object of this type
and then make use of the other pages related to the media object.

Once you have selected the section you wish to use and opened an article or
other item you wish to use,

A keystroke has been provided for you to move focus to an item in the Right
Hand Pane. This hot key is Focus To Article View Window, CTRL+SHIFT+R.

This keystroke includes support for the following pages of the Right Hand
Pane: Text, Picture, Panorama, Table, Fact Box, Science Question and Answer,
and Sound. In each of these pages, when this hot key is pressed, JAWS simply
moves focus to the Article View window found on that page. Once focus is in
the Article View window, you may use the standard reading functions to read
the text it contains, press the TAB key to move focus to any other controls in
the Right Hand Pane that are in the tab order, or perform any number of other
actions.

If the active page in the Right Hand Pane is the Text page or the Sounds page,
this hot key will perform another function if it is called twice in one
second. If the active page is the Text page, pressing this hot key twice will
move focus to a set of controls that are not in the tab order when moving from
the article view window. However, once one of these controls has gained focus,
it is possible to navigate between the controls found in this control group by
way of the TAB key. These controls include the Enhanced Mode Button, the Text
Mode Button, and the Search This Article Button (which allows you to search
the currently active article for a specific string of text). In contrast, if
the active page is the Sounds page, pressing this hot key twice quickly will
allow you to cause JAWS to press the button that stops and starts the sound.
Once you have selected one of these options, you may return focus to the
Article View window by pressing the Focus To Article View Window hot key a
single time, or you may choose from several other options.

Except for a few rare exceptions, there will be more than one page in the
Right Hand Pane. The page containing the Article View window, whether it is
the Text, Picture, Panorama, Table, Fact Box, Science Question and Answer, or
Sound page, is simply the default page when an item is selected in the list
box of the Left Hand Pane. Just as there is a hot key provided to you to
select which page you wish to activate in the Left Hand Pane, you may select
which page you wish to activate in the Right Hand Pane as well. Pressing
Select A Page Right Hand Pane, INSERT+F9, will display a list of currently
available pages in the Right Hand Pane, regardless of which pane is active.

At any time, if you wish to hear the name of the active section, the active
pane, and the active page, you may have JAWS speak this information by
pressing Say Active And Page, CTRL+SHIFT+A.

Another hot key that has been added to increase the functionality of the
features in The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia is the Search This Article
command, CTRL+SHIFT+S. This hot key is used to bring the Search This Article
dialog into focus. The Search This Article Dialog allows you to search the
article currently displayed in the Text Page of the Right Hand Pane for a
particular string of text.

The Article View Window Does Not Support Navigation By Word

When the PC Cursor is active and the Article View window is in focus, the next
and prior word commands do not perform as expected. Instead of the cursor
moving one word in the appropriate direction and JAWS speaking the current
word, the cursor moves only one character in the appropriate direction before
JAWS speaks the current word. This is not a bug in JAWS. This is a bug in The
Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. Navigation by word is not supported in this
control regardless of whether or not JAWS is running. When the active cursor
is the JAWS Cursor or the Invisible Cursor, JAWS responds just as it would in
any other application when the prior word or next word command is performed.

The First Topic in the Interactivities Section is Inaccessible

The first topic in the Interactivities section of The Grolier Multimedia
Encyclopedia is Interactivities: Home Screen. This topic in the
Interactivities section has only one page, the Interactivity page. Since this
page is entirely graphical in nature, JAWS does not support this page in any
section. Therefore the topic Interactivities: Home Screen is entirely
inaccessible to the JAWS user.

However, if you select any other topic in the Interactivities section, there
will be additional pages in the Right Hand Pane. You may then use the hot key
Select A Page Right Hand Pane, CTRL+F9 to switch to a different page of that
topic and then you may make use of any items related to the Interactivity
topic that are supported by the JAWS scripts.

The Research Starters Section is Inaccessible

The Research Starters page of the Right Hand Pane is another of those,
entirely graphical pages found in the Right Hand Pane that cannot be accessed
with screen readers. All topics contained in the Research Starters section are
composed of only the Research Starters page. JAWS does not support the
Research Starters section.

Command Descriptions for Grolier

FocusToArticleViewWindow use Ctrl+Shift+R. Moves focus to the first visible
article view window found in the right hand pane. In most sections of the
encyclopedia, once this window has gained focus, you may navigate between most
of the controls found in the right hand pane by Tabbing between controls. The
only exceptions to this rule are the Picture page of the Articles and Media
sections of the encyclopedia, the Map page of the Atlas Section, the Eras page
of the Timelines section, and the Interactivity page of the Interactivities
section. These pages of the right hand pane lack a control that can gain
focus. Therefore, this keystroke cannot be used in these pages. In each of
these circumstances, you may switch to a different page of the right hand pane
by way of the Select A Page Right Hand Pane hot key.

FocusToLeftHandPane use Ctrl+Shift+L. This command returns focus to the left
hand pane.

FocusToSecondArticleViewWindow use Alt+Shift+R. Moves focus to the second
visible Article View window. This keystroke is required in the Picture page of
the Articles and Media section when the first Article View window does not
gain focus.

ReviewDialogText use Ctrl+Insert+B. Allows you to review the static text that
is displayed in the active dialog box. This command is most useful in those
dialog boxes that are based upon a graphical background and lack text that can
be reviewed by the JAWS Cursor or by calling Read Box In Tab Order.

ReviewSelectedMarkerList use Ctrl+Shift+M. In the Markers List Dialog box,
after you press spacebar or enter on the Select List button, the newly
activated Marker list is displayed in static text windows that appear in the
top left of the dialog box. This keystroke is provided to allow the JAWS user
to review that information to ensure that they made their intended change.

SayActivePaneAndPage use Ctrl+Shift+A. Causes JAWS to speak the names of the
currently active pane and page.

SearchThisArticle use Ctrl+Shift+S. Automates the Search this article feature
of the encyclopedia.

both the left and right hand panes of The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia.
This command first detects which pane is active and allows you to easily
switch between the pages of that pane.

SelectAPageLeftHandPane use Ctrl+F9. A select a page script that will select a
page for the left hand pane only regardless of which page is in focus. This
command is useful in the Atlas and Time Lines sections of The Grolier
Multimedia Encyclopedia.

SelectAPageRightHandPane use INSERT+F9. A select a page script that will
select a page for the right hand pane only regardless of which page is in
focus. This command is useful in the Atlas and Time Lines sections of The
Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia.

SelectASection use Ctrl+Insert+F9. Allows you to select a section of the
encyclopedia to activate via a list box rather than requiring you to remember
the keystrokes used for navigating from section to section.

SelectATool use Insert+F8. Provides access to buttons located below the right
hand pane by allowing you to select a toolbar button from a list box.

ToggleSayLinksOption use Ctrl+Shift+T. Toggles the behavior of the say text
formatting option from the default to saying the word prior to any link.

JAWS Support for JAVA

Support for Accessible Java Applications

JAWS supports applications written with Sun Microsystems' Java Access API.
When you move to a control within a Java application, JAWS automatically puts
that control into the virtual buffer, making the application as easy to use as
a Web page. JAWS speaks every accessible object available by using the Sun
Microsystems Java Accessibility Bridge (version 1.1 or later). In addition,
you can even use a simulated JAWS cursor to navigate Java applications. JAWS
can also announce position and level information in Java tree views, list
views, and radio button groups and recognize ToolTips.

To use Java applications with JAWS, you must download and install both the
Java 2 Platform and the Java Accessibility Bridge. You can obtain these files
from the Sun Microsystems website. It is recommended that you use JAWS with
Java Accessibility Bridge version 1.1 or later and Java 2 Platform version
1.4.1 or later.

Note: Sun Microsystems may change their web page layout periodically and may
release newer versions of their software.

The JAWS Cursor and Java

Maximize Java application windows to ensure the JAWS Cursor is able to
properly read text. If you do not maximize a window, and the JAWS Cursor moves
outside the Java application window, it may be difficult to move back into the
Java application window.

Java and Scripting

JAWS now reads options from Java.jcf whenever you start a Java application.
This makes it possible for Java-specific configuration options to be stored in
a common configuration file. You can also create application-specific
configuration files for Java applications.

The default Java.jss script file is used as the base for all Java programs and
the Java.jsb file is also loaded. JAWS also looks for a .jsb file with the
same name as the Java application. When you launch Script Manager from a Java
application, JAWS correctly determines the Java application in use and creates
a .jss file for it. For example, if you are running Demo.jar then a Demo.jss
file is created.

A special event is occurs whenever a Java object changes. Many useful
parameters are sent to the event so that script writers can use them. For
example, one might want to ensure that JAWS reads any changes to a control on
the screen that does not have focus, and so on.

Java.jsb, the base script for all Java applications, is loaded internally. As
of JAWS 5.0, it is no longer necessary to create a script that calls the
function SwitchToScriptFile to load the Java scripts for each Java
application.

Save the download file to a folder of your choice.

Installing the Access Bridge

To install Java Access Bridge, use the following procedure:

Before installing any new software, close all running programs on your system.
Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the Access Bridge file. This is a
compressed archive file which you must extract using a standard decompression
utility, such as WinZip.
After extracting to a folder of your choice, navigate to that folder and
locate the subfolder containing the Access Bridge files. Inside this folder
you will find another subfolder called Installer. In the Installer subfolder
is a file called Install.exe. Select this file and press ENTER to begin the
installation.
The installation program starts and lists the Java virtual machines (VM)
installed on your computer. Press ENTER to activate the Install to All button.
This will install Java Access Bridge on all your Java virtual machines.
When the installation is complete, a confirmation dialog box displays. Press
ENTER to activate the OK button. To allow JAWS to recognize your Java
installation, you must exit and restart JAWS.

Java What's New

JAWS now supports Java 2 Platform version 1.4.1 or later and Java Access
Bridge version 1.0.2 or later. Earlier versions of the Java or the Java Access
Bridge may or may not work with JAWS. For best results with JAWS, use Java
Access Bridge version 1.1 or later.

The latest version of Java can be found at
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp. Java Access Bridge can
be found at http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/.

The following new features have been added:
JAWS now has limited support for JAWS cursor navigation in Java applications.
JAWS now speaks position and level information in Java Tree Views in the same
way it does in standard Windows Tree Views. JAWS also provides position
information in list views and radio button groups.
We have added an extended edit prompt search option for Java applications.
This option is on by default and can be modified within the Advanced Options
dialog in Configuration Manager.
JAWS now recognizes Tool Tips in Java applications.

Java and Scripting

JAWS now reads options from Java.JCF whenever a Java application is loaded.
This makes it possible for Java specific configuration options to be stored in
a common configuration file. And you can create application specific
configuration files for Java applications as well.

The default java.jss script file is used as the base for all Java programs and
the java.jsb file is also loaded. JAWS also looks for a jsb file named after
the same name as the Java application. When you launch script manager from a
Java application, JAWS correctly determines the Java application in use and
creates a jss file for it. For example, if you are running swingdemo.jar then
a swingdemo.jss file is created.

A special event is fired whenever a Java object changes. Many useful
parameters are sent to the event so that scriptwriters can use them. For
example, one might want to ensure that a control on the screen that does not
have focus will still have its changes spoken, and so on. Scripting is still
limited however it is more flexible than ever before. Java event scripts are
now processed much faster. We have also added the Java event,
JavaObjectChanged, which receives the following parameters: Java Role string,
Java object name, Java description, Java value, and Java states.

JAVA.JSB, the base script for all Java applications, is now loaded internally.
It is no longer necessary to create a script for each Java application you
wish to use and call switchToScriptFile to load the Java scripts.

Juno Helpful Hints

Juno is divided into three pages, the Read page, Write page, and Web page. In
the Read page, you can select a message from the list box containing the
messages in the active folder, and read it using the read-only message edit
window, and act on the selected message (move, delete, forward, reply, copy,
etc.).

The Write window contains the header fields to enter the To, cc, Subject
information, and message body window. There is also a plethora of buttons,
such as Spell Check, Send, Clear Message, etc. The Web window contains buttons
to connect to the Internet using the active browser (Internet Explorer), and
buttons for order form and Tell Me More (if you are currently not signed up
for Juno Web).

Note:To exit the Web Window, press CTRL+TAB. This will take you back to the
Read Window.

If You Have Used Previous JAWS Support for Juno

Most of the shortcut keys will remain the same, although there are no messages
attached to these keys any longer. Use the Move To Folder shortcut key ALT+R
instead of the previously defined CTRL+F. Currently, CTRL+F will activate the
Find dialog, an attribute of the Juno application. As has been noted, a third
page is added to the application, the Web page. This is not a Web page, i.e.,
HTML content on the Internet, but a means for you to either sign up for Juno
Web access or, if already signed up, to connect. To leave this page, press
CTRL+TAB. You will then be taken back to the previous location in the Read
page.

When you start the Juno application, you may be presented with an
advertisement dialog that does not contain a Close button, as previous
versions of Juno may have had. To close, simply press ESC.

Using JAWS With Lotus Notes

This section provides a general description of how to use Lotus Notes with
JAWS and some general Lotus Notes information.

Note:On the Task bar Properties dialog, uncheck the check box Always On Top.
This allows the Task bar to be visible. This is to allow for the document
windows to maximize properly.

Sometimes it seems that JAWS gets stuck while you are reading a document in
read mode. This happens if you get new mail or the status line changes. To
work around this, press ESC and then ENTER to return to the document.

Sometimes JAWS seems to lose focus in Notes. This may be because a Properties
dialog box is open. Press INSERT+F10 to check if Info.dll is running. If it
is, switch to it and then press ALT+ENTER to close the dialog box.

Reading Changes on the Status Bar

When information that appears on the status bar changes, JAWS automatically
announces it. If you do not want JAWS to announce changes on the status bar,
press INSERT+V, select "Reading Status Line," and press the SPACEBAR to choose
"Off." This setting is saved and remains in effect even if you switch to
another program or quit Lotus Notes.

If this verbosity option is enabled, JAWS may say, "Untagged," when you read
text that does not have a language tag. If you do not want to hear this
announcement, do the following:

From the File menu, choose Preferences.
Press the RIGHT ARROW key, and then choose Status Bar Preferences.
Select "Language" and press the SPACEBAR to uncheck this option.
Press ENTER to accept your changes and close the dialog box.

Lotus Notes Controls

All files, documents, and databases are arranged on the screen in what Lotus
Notes calls Line Views. JAWS refers to them as Tree Views and acts upon them
in JAWS Standard fashion, i.e. speaking Tree view levels, announcing level
changes.

Most forms appear in the Lotus Notes Document classes. In many cases, these
are single windows with embedded controls spoken by MSAA (Microsoft Active
Accessibility).

Navigation Through Lotus Notes

To navigate between the available windows in Lotus Notes databases that are
open, press CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB respectively. To navigate between the
frames on a given database or the Welcome page, press F6.

To navigate within a Line view between the available documents, use the
UP/DOWN ARROW keys. Use LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys to open and close the selected
folder. The Lotus keystrokes are actually the PLUS and MINUS keys on the
keypad, and for this reason the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys have been determined to
handle this.

To navigate between the icons on a Graphic frame or to move between the links
and embedded objects within a read-only document, press INSERT+Z and use the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys. When you are finished navigating, press INSERT+Z again.

The Inline Notes Browser

The Inline Browser works, for the most part, like Internet Explorer. Press
INSERT+F7 to get a list of links, press INSERT+F5 to reformat the Web page.

To use Internet Explorer instead of the Notes browser:

From the File menu, choose Mobile, Edit Current Location.
A document opens. Press CTRL+PAGE DOWN four times until you hear JAWS say,
"Choose the web browser you want to use to view web pages." The keystrokes
CTRL+PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP allow you to move through multi-page forms and
dialog boxes in Lotus Notes.
Press SPACEBAR to cycle through the choices until you hear, "Internet
Explorer."

Press ESC to close the document. Press SPACEBAR on the Yes button when Notes
asks if you want to save your changes.

Bookmarks

To access a tree view of Lotus Notes bookmarks, you must first edit the
Notes.ini file. This file is normally located in C:\Lotus\Notes\Notes.ini.
Open this file in Notepad and change the first two lines so they look like the
lines below:

	[Notes]
	AllowBookmarkFocus=1


Save the modified file. You can now press ALT+B from within Lotus Notes to
display bookmarks in a tree view.

Dialogs: In File - Preferences - User Preferences

This is an example but may appear in dialogs with many TAB controls and pages.
Press one of the buttons, such as Basics, International, etc., with the
SPACEBAR. As you tab through the dialog, periodically the type and text of the
Dialog itself is re-spoken. Example: "User Preferences Dialog Basics Button."
This performance is rare and sporadic. Currently, to hear the contents of the
combo box within a dialog as its value changes, do not press ALT+DOWN ARROW to
open the list box. Press the UP and DOWN ARROW keys as with any standard edit
combo list or box.

Browser

When a page is first loaded in a new browser session using the inline Notes
with Internet Explorer browser, you may hear the first line or two of the page
being read followed by an interruption of about half a second, followed by a
normal browser reading. This does not happen when links are selected, or a new
URL is typed in. It happens when JAWS manually places the focus into the
browser window, which by default does not have focus when it first appears on
the screen.

Read-Only Documents

JAWS uses the Virtual PC Cursor to read Read-Only documents to you. Navigation
while the Virtual PC Cursor is active is similar to that in Internet Explorer
5.x. Please visit Using the Virtual PC Cursor to learn more about this
feature.

You may encounter a time delay between the text being drawn to the screen and
being automatically spoken. When this happens, it is generally upon opening a
document. Subsequent pressing of PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN do not present this
performance issue.

Miscellaneous

There may be occasions when the message "Graphic Frame" is spoken while focus
is in the process of changing. This message is used when the focus lands on
specific frames with no textual content. When these frames regain focus,
however, their content or the focused icon is spoken. Example: "Graphic Frame
Mail."

Configuring Lotus Notes

Perform the following to make Lotus Notes more compatible with JAWS.

Start Lotus Notes. From the File menu, choose Preferences, User Preferences.
Press TAB until you move to the Colors combo box.
Set the icon color scheme to system color.
Press TAB until you move to a multiple selection list box
Unselect Textured Workspace and Make Notes the Default Web Browser on My
System.
Select the following:
Show Extended Accelerators
Display Window Menu (Notes 6 only). This option allows you to use a Window
menu in much the same way as a standard application.
Standard Dialog Boxes (Notes 6 only). This option displays standard operating
system dialog boxes instead of Notes custom dialog boxes.
Use TAB to Navigate Read-only Documents (Notes 6 only). Selecting this option
lets you use TAB to move between objects (e.g., linked text, hotspots,
document links, etc.) in a read-only document. However, with this option
enabled, you can no longer use TAB while reading a document to navigate to the
next document in the view.
Use Accessibility Keyboard Navigation (Notes 6 only). This disables the UP and
DOWN ARROW keys and lets you use TAB to move between fields in a document in
edit mode. Note that when you are in a rich text field, such as a document
body, and there are fields above and below it, you must use the arrow keys to
move to the previous or next field because TAB is used to create indents and
tab stops in a Notes rich text field.
Use System Colors (Notes 6 only)
Press SPACEBAR on the OK button.
Note: If Notes warns you that some options will not be used until you start
Notes, quit Notes and then restart it.

Configuring the Notes Workspace

If you are a Lotus Notes 4.x user and you would prefer to use the workspace
instead of the welcome page and bookmarks, perform the following:

Press ALT+B to access the bookmarks.
Press DOWN ARROW  until you hear, "Databases."
Press ENTER.
Press DOWN ARROW  until you hear, "Workspace."
Press INSERT+NUM PAD MINUS to route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor and press
NUM PAD ASTERISK.
Press DOWN ARROW until you hear, "Set bookmark as home page." Press ENTER.
When Notes asks if you want to make the workspace your new home page, press
ENTER.
To make the workspace function better with JAWS, open the View menu and
perform the following:
Uncheck Stack Replica Icons.
Uncheck Show Unread Count.
Check Show Server.

MAGic Screen Magnification is a software solution ideally suited for
vision-impaired computer users, or anyone who spends extended periods of time
in front of a computer screen.

In addition to magnifying your computer screen, MAGic also reads your programs
and documents clearly and audibly. MAGic completely synchronizes magnified
print with speech. MAGic also highlights words and lines as it speaks them.

MAGic Getting Started

To run MAGic with JAWS, you must first install JAWS. MAGic and JAWS determine
whether they are running at the same time. If MAGic and JAWS are running
concurrently, JAWS handles all speech commands. MAGic temporarily disables all
speech functions, which makes the Speech menu and buttons found on the MAGic
user interface unavailable. Use JAWS hot keys to utilize speech functionality.
MAGic continues to magnify your display, and all commands for magnification
remain unchanged.

Note:When you launch MAGic while JAWS is running, you will lose any temporary
verbosity changes that you have made. If you make temporary verbosity changes
in JAWS while MAGic is running, after you close MAGic, those settings will
again be lost. This only affects temporary settings; it does not affect
settings saved in the JAWS managers, or settings that are normally saved
beyond the current JAWS session.

MAGic allows you to select which key is used as the MAGic Key. JAWS provides
the same flexibility for the JAWS Key. When the two products are used
together, it is important that the MAGic Key and the JAWS key are not assigned
to the same key. If they are assigned to the same key, any JAWS commands
assigned to a key combination using the JAWS Key are not activated when the
key combination is pressed.

you interact with a news server to read discussion groups, post new articles,
and so forth. A rudimentary newsreader allows you to read threaded newsgroups,
post new articles, submit replies to articles that you read (called follow-up
articles), reply directly to the author via e-mail, and keep track of what
you've read in the newsgroups.

MicroPlanet Gravity Helpful Hints

Most JAWS keystrokes help with navigation through Gravity, although in some
places controls cannot be accessed through pressing TAB or SHIFT TAB. Pressing
INSERT+H in the window where you need assistance will give you a list of
hotkeys to access these controls. The Search dialog, Event Log, Post and Mail
window, and Check Spelling dialog all contain specific hot keys.

The Check Spelling dialog contains multiple controls that are not in the
natural tab order. For example, typically after pressing enter on the suggest
button, one would think that the suggestions would appear next in tab order.
This is not the case. To reduce confusion pressing INSERT+H will read a list
of the hotkeys for each button in the dialog. Another feature to reduce
confusion is INSERT+F9, which will present a list of the available dialog
controls. Selecting a control and pressing ENTER will activate that control.
It may be beneficial to get the list of controls by pressing INSERT+F9, then
escape out of the dialog, and then press INSERT+H to get the hotkey for that
control.

Design Views

Most of the Design views are supported by JAWS in release 3.5 and higher. The
following information may be helpful when using specific screens:

Table Design View

The Table Design view has two panels. The top panel allows you to specify the
field name, data type and size of each field in your table. The second panel
allows you to set properties for the selected field in the top panel.

Define at least one field to switch panels. Use F6 to switch between the field
definition panel and the field properties multi-page dialog. As you press the
TAB key, JAWS will announce the prompt and setting in both panels and display
this information on your Braille display.

To exit the Table Design view, press CTRL+F4.

There are special JAWS keystrokes that are used to read a table. See Using
JAWS to Navigate Tables.

Note: In Access, pressing ALT+CTRL+UP or DOWN ARROW moves you to the first or
last cell in the current column instead of moving you to the cell above or
below your current position. This is an Access keyboard command.

Query Design View

When the Query Design view is displayed, a dialog opens and you can choose the
tables and fields you wish to work with. Select these items using the add
button, and then press the close button to open the Design View.

The Design View consists of two panels. The top panel contains a list of the
items just selected in the previous step, while the lower panel contains a
grid with headings down the left-hand side.

Press F6 to switch between these panels. Also, ensure the application is
maximized (ALT+MINUS, X) so that field names are spoken as you move from grid
row to grid row.

To select a field and/or table from the list in the top panel, use your Arrow
keys to locate an item, and then press ENTER to place the item on the grid.
JAWS announces that it is placing the item on the grid.

If for some reason your cursor gets stuck, locate the JAWS cursor in the grid
or list, and click the left mouse button (NUM PAD /) to refocus.

Use CTRL+SHIFT+J to create a join in the Query Design View grid. See JAWS
Specific Keystrokes for Access for details about using this keystroke. This
function only works in the Query Design View grid, and is subject to the
normal Access constraints.

To exit this screen, press CTRL+F4.

Form and Report Design Views

When you are using the Form and Report Design Views, the TAB key allows you to
move between sections.

Use ENTER to bring up the properties for any section.

CTRL+SHIFT+B gives you a list of controls in the standard toolbox. Use ENTER
to select one of these controls. To set the properties for a control, use the
Object combo button on the Format toolbar. Then select the control for which
you want to set properties, press ENTER, and then choose Properties from the
View menu.

Note: A label control is automatically created for any control you add to the
form or report. Set the labels caption property for JAWS to read the correct
label in Forms view.

To return to the Section Selector, choose the section from the Object combo
box, and press ENTER.

Macro Creation Screen

To create a new macro, select New. Focus is placed in the Action column of the
design grid. Press TAB to go to the comment column, and then press F6 to
switch to the properties multi-page dialog. Press CTRL+F4 to close this
screen.

Notes to Database Designers and Application Programmers

JAWS versions 3.5 and higher use a standard method of associating labels with
their controls on a form. To ensure that JAWS correctly identifies a control
label, use one of the following methods:

Set the controls caption property to the text describing the control.
Note: If the SelectToolboxControl or the real Toolbox are used to add a
control to a form or report then this will automatically be done. If however,
a control is created by a macro or Visual Basic command, then the programmer
is responsible for creating the separate label and assigning the Parent
property correctly.

Set the controls ToolTip Text property to the text describing the control.
If you create a separate label control for another control, set its parent
property to point to the control it is labeling. JAWS will look at the parents
name property and match it with the name property of the control for which the
label is associated.
If Label Search is off, only the first two methods can be used to determine a
label for the control. Otherwise, JAWS will look at each control on the form
whose Control Type property is not (Access) AcLabel to see if the label parent
name matches that control name. If it does, then the label control caption is
used as the label for the control.

Note: The SpeakDatabaseSummary command (CTRL+SHIFT+D) ignores objects whose
names either start with Msys or that contain a ~ (tilde) character. These
objects are maintained by Microsoft Access and are not visible. Please do not
name user objects in this way. JAWS will ignore them when this command is
selected.

General Notes

The following general information may be of help to you when using Access with
JAWS:

You must maximize the screen in order for prompts to be spoken in the Table
Design view grid.
Wizard text from the parent form is still spoken even when a sub-form has
appeared with possibly more text. The additional sub-form text is spoken after
the main forms text.
When an option group (group box) is displayed on the Braille display, you
cannot use routing buttons to access the group objects.
You cannot select controls on a sub-sub form using CTRL+SHIFT+L.
When trying to focus on a control within an Option group, and its state is
spoken (using the CTRL+SHIFT+L dialog), the state may be inaccurate. To hear
the correct state, focus on the group box itself, and then press INSERT+TAB.
If the table or database summary keys seem to give information that is not
up-to-date, for example, it speaks the name of a table that you have already
deleted, it may be necessary to shut down and restart Microsoft Access.
If you get a message that a control was not created, when trying to add
controls to a form or report in Design View using CTRL+SHIFT+B, it may be that
the parent control cannot accommodate child controls until you adjust the size
properties. You may get this message when trying to add controls to a group
box (Option Group).
When you delete a relationship with CTRL+DELETE, the relationship is not
removed from the screen until the window is closed and reopened. Since it has
been deleted, JAWS reports that the relationship status is correct.
The advanced wizards that may be installed for Access have not been directly
supported in this release of JAWS, although they are useable. You may find
that some of the control labels are not located correctly. Remember to use the
help facilities built into these scripts, INSERT+F1, INSERT+H, and
INSERT+DELETE.
Sometimes CTRL+SHIFT+R does not read the whole active report. The best way to
get around this problem is to export the report as HTML and read it in your
Web browsing software.

Command Descriptions for Access

Close Office Assistant  Use CTRL+INSERT+F4 to close the Office Assistant as
you would in other Office applications.

Note: The Office Assistant is not available in Microsoft Office 2007 or later.

Create Join  Use CTRL+SHIFT+J to create a join in the Query Design View grid.
This is accomplished by pressing the keystroke once on the Source field and
then again on the Destination field. To clear the join setup process, press
CTRL+INSERT+C after the first press of CTRL+SHIFT+J. This function only works
in the Query Design View grid and is subject to the normal Access constraints.

Create Relationship  Use CTRL+SHIFT+C to create a relationship between the
source and destination fields and tables. This is accomplished by pressing the
keystroke once on the Source field in the Source table, and then again on the
Destination field. To clear the relationship setup process, press
CTRL+INSERT+C after the first press of CTRL+SHIFT+C. This function only works
in the Relationships screen accessed from the Tools menu and is subject to the
normal Access constraints.

Delete Relationship  Use CTRL+DELETE to delete a relationship between the
source and destination. When in the Relationships screen, focus on the list
box and the participating item of the relationship, and then press CTRL+DELETE
to delete. You can confirm whether a field participates in a relationship by
using the INSERT+UP ARROW (Say Line) keystroke.

Note:Caution should be used when deleting relationships. Using this keystroke
will delete the first relationship in which the field participates. This means
that if the field participates in more than one relationship and you intend to
delete the second relationship, it is better to move to the other table and
the field in that table which forms the other half of the second relationship
(providing this field in the second table only participates in one
relationship) and delete the relationship from this table. If the field making
up the other half of the relationship also participates in more than one
relationship, sighted assistance may be required unless you delete the first
relationship, then the second, and then recreate the first.

Read Active Report  Use CTRL+SHIFT+R to read the active report.

Read DataSheet Coordinates  Use INSERT+C when in a datasheet, this keystroke
reads the location row and column number.

Relationship and Join Clear Values  Use CTRL+INSERT+C clears the JAWS stored
value for the source of a join or relationship. This is similar to frame Clear
Values in Default.

Say Record Number  Use CTRL+INSERT+R  to hear the record number of the
currently selected record in datasheet table view.

Screen Sensitive Help  Use INSERT+F1 for help in most areas, including the
wizard and design view screens. This keystroke will also give you valuable
information about the field you are in when entering data into a table. The
information includes the field name, data type, size in characters, ordinal
position, total number of fields, and whether data in this field is required
or optional. In verbosity levels higher than Beginner, this information is
trimmed down, but still includes important information.

Select Form Control  Use CTRL+SHIFT+I to list all of the controls on the
current form. You can also use this keystroke to select and focus on a control
(provided the control can receive focus). If you select a sub-form control,
then another list opens where you can select a sub-form control.

Select Toolbox Control  Use CTRL+SHIFT+B to select a toolbox control to place
on a form or report in design view.

Speak Database Summary  Use CTRL+SHIFT+D to speak a summary of the open
database, including the name and number of objects. Objects include tables,
queries, modules, relationships, forms, and so on.

Speak Relationship  Use INSERT+UP ARROW (Say Line) to speak details about a
relationship. This keystroke only works in the Relationships screen that is
accessed from the Tools menu. For example, you can use this keystroke in the
Relationships screen of the Northwind database that comes with Microsoft
Access to provide the location of fields. For instance, if you press INSERT+UP
ARROW when the Supplier ID field is selected in the supplier table, JAWS tells
you that the Products table references this field. Similarly, if you press
INSER+UP ARROW when the Product ID field in the Products table is selected,
JAWS tells you that the Order Details table references the Product ID.
Pressing INSERT+UP ARROW when the product ID field is selected in the Order
Details table causes JAWS to say that Product ID references the Product table.
So, JAWS tells you both when a field references another table and when another
table references it. If the verbosity is set to anything higher than Beginner,
a trimmed down version of the same information is spoken, for example, the
table name containing the selected field is left out  it is assumed that it is
already known.

Speak Table Summary  Use CTRL+SHIFT+T to hear a summary of the table currently
displayed, including the name, data type, size, and total number of fields.

Spell Check  Use INSERT+F7 to repeat spell checker information.

Toggle Label Search  Use INSERT+F8 to toggle Label Search ON/OFF.

Say Access Version  Use CTRL+INSERT+V to hear what version of Access is
currently running.

Up One Level  Use ALT+1 to move up one level in the Save as or Open dialog
boxes.

Back  Use ALT+2 to move back to the prior folder in the Save as or Open dialog
boxes.

See Notes for Database Designers and Application Programmers for further
explanation.

Hearing Information in Microsoft Chat 2.5

When you are in a room, you can hear the Output window as you are typing in
the Input window. To hear the status information press CTRL+SHIFT+S to turn on
Status Monitoring. This will allow you hear the status line information as it
changes. Status line information includes things such as when you connect,
disconnect, etc.

IRC Commands

It is not necessary to use IRC commands, because Microsoft Chat 2.5 has a
complete menu system with available options. If you are familiar with IRC
commands, you can still use them. Instead of getting a response on the command
line from the server, you may get a dialog box. The only case where you must
use the menu command, as opposed to the IRC command, is to leave a room. The
/part command will not work; you must select from the Room menu to enter
another room.

Excel Braille Modes

Use the Braille Mode Verbosity option when you use Structured Mode for your
Braille display. With the Braille Mode Verbosity option, you may choose
between three different Structured Modes while navigating an Excel
spreadsheet.

Cell View is the classical view, which shows the active cells' coordinates,
column and row titles where appropriate, cell content, cell formula, cell
comment, cell hyperlink address, row total, monitor cells, etc.

Row Mode shows up to 9 cells surrounding the active cell in the current row.
Blank cells are shown with a minus (dots 3-6). The active cell is always the
middle piece of data unless you are at the beginning or end of the row, where
it is then the first or last piece of data shown. The coordinates of the
active cell are always shown immediately before the active cell contents so it
is easy to locate the focus on the display.

Column View shows up to 9 cells surrounding the active cell in the current
column. The active cell is the middle piece of data, unless you are at the
beginning or end of a column, and then the active cell is the first or last
piece of data shown. Blank cells are indicated with a minus sign (dots 3-6).
The coordinates of the active cell always precede the active cell so it is
easy to locate the focus on the display.

Note: When you press F2 to edit a cell's contents, Line Mode is activated, so
the caret is tracked while you edit.

----------
Reading Excel Charts

Once a chart in Excel gains focus, JAWS reads it using the Virtual Cursor. You
may navigate the same as you would on a web page in Internet Explorer. Once
you finish using the Virtual Cursor, press ESC to return to the worksheet.

If you try to use the Select Worksheet Objects function when a chart is
already active, a bug in Excel prevents another object from being selected.
You must first press ESC to deactivate the chart before trying to select
another chart.

JAWS now recognizes and speaks the types and titles of all 14 chart types and
73 subtypes, though detailed descriptions are only available for line, bar,
column, cylinder, pyramid, cone, pie, doughnut and xy-scatter charts and for
their subtypes.

Note: Trend lines are not yet described.

Chart descriptions are spoken when a chart has focus and you press INSERT+F1.

An Example Of a Chart Description:

Chart type.
Chart title.
Axes titles.
Number of series.
Each series is described, beginning with its legend, followed by the number of
points in the series.

The point number, data label (if it has one), category name, and value
describe each point.

When charts are described for which percentage contributions are not spoken,
and if there are several contiguous categories with the same value, rather
than announcing each identical point or bar, JAWS collects the items and
speaks the range.

Creating a Custom Summary in Excel

The Custom Summary feature allows you to create a snapshot of important data
from a worksheet, such as monthly totals, grand totals, and so on. You define
which cells appear in the custom summary by assigning labels to them. The
summary then displays the contents of all the specified cells. The summary
contains links, allowing you to move quickly to any of the cells. If the
worksheet's data changes after the custom summary is created, the same summary
can be used to obtain the new information.

Tip: When the focus moves to a worksheet with a custom summary, JAWS indicates
that a summary is available.

To create a custom summary, you must assign custom summary labels to each cell
or range of cells that you want to include. Do the following to assign labels
to cells in the current worksheet:

Select the cell or range of cells that you want to include in the summary.
Press INSERT+F2, select "Custom Summary Labels," and press ENTER.
Alternatively, you can press CTRL+INSERT+TAB. The dialog box that appears
allows you to add, change, delete, and reorder custom summary labels.
Choose the Add button.
Type the text you want to use for the label and press ENTER.
If you want to change or delete any label you have created, select it in the
list and choose either the Change or Remove button. If you want to delete all
the labels you have created, choose the Remove All button. When you are
satisfied with the name and position of the label, choose the OK button.
Tip: The order of the labels in the list determines the order in which they
appear when you view the custom summary. To change the position of a label,
select it from the list and then use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 until you have labeled all cells that you want to
include in the summary.
When you are finished assigning labels, you can view your custom summary.

Changing or Deleting a Custom Summary Label

To change or delete a custom summary label, select the cell or range of cells
the label is assigned to and press CTRL+INSERT+TAB. To change the name of the
label, choose the Change button. Then, type some new text for the custom label
and press ENTER. To delete the label, choose the Remove button.

To remove all custom summary labels in the current worksheet, press INSERT+F2
while in any cell that does not have a custom summary label. Then, select
"Custom Summary Labels" and choose Remove All.

Viewing the Custom Summary

Once you have assigned labels to all the cells you want to include in the
summary, you are ready to view the custom summary. Press INSERT+F2, select
"View Custom Summary," and press ENTER. The name of each cell that you labeled
appears, along with its contents. Alternatively, you can press
CTRL+INSERT+SHIFT+TAB to view the summary at any time. JAWS displays summary
information for all worksheets that have custom summary labels assigned. Each
item in the summary has a link that you can activate by pressing ENTER.
Activating the link moves you to the location of that cell in the worksheet.
If the label is assigned to a range of cells, JAWS moves you to the first cell
in the range.

Tip: You can press INSERT+F7 while the custom summary is displayed to view a
list of all links in the summary.

Miscellaneous Excel Hints

The JAWS keystroke INSERT+F identifies four kinds of underline styles instead
of just stating if underlining is on or off.
INSERT+5 and INSERT+F (when the color has been changed from the default)
correctly identify the cells text color, background color, and shading.
JAWS automatically selects a file listed in the Open or Save As list views
when JAWS is set at Beginner Verbosity.
Screen Sensitive Help in the worksheet states the number of worksheets in the
current workbook. CTRL+PAGE UP or CTRL+PAGE DOWN and CTRL+SHIFT+S can be used
to move between other sheets.

Cell Appearance Information

You can now press INSERT+TAB twice while in a cell to display detailed
information regarding the visual appearance of that cell in the virtual
viewer. JAWS displays the width of the column, whether the text is entirely
visible, the height of the cell if greater than one line, whether the text has
been shrunk or rotated, the cell's vertical and horizontal alignment, font
information, the presence of any inverted negative numbers and their color,
the indentation level, the number format,and cell shading and text color
information.

Announcing Cell Shading Changes

If a cell's shading is different from the cell you just moved out of, JAWS can
announce the change along with all other cell information. To enable this
feature, do the following:

In Excel, press INSERT+V.
Select "Shading Changes."
Press the SPACEBAR to choose "On."
Press ENTER to close the dialog box.

Cell Visibility

JAWS can inform you when data in the current cell is only partially visible.
This usually occurs because the cell is too small to contain all the data. To
enable this feature, do the following:

In Excel, press INSERT+V.
Select "Cell Text Visibility."
Press the SPACEBAR to choose "On."
Press ENTER to close the dialog box.
Now, whenever you navigate to a cell containing partially visible data, JAWS
will inform you which cells are overlapped by the text. You can repeat this
information by pressing INSERT+TAB. This option remains enabled until you
change it again or quit JAWS.

Creating Formulas

When you create a formula in Excel, you can navigate to and select a cell or
range of cells in another workbook or worksheet in order to use that data as
part of the formula. When you create a formula this way, JAWS makes it easier
to navigate to the cells containing the data you want to include by announcing
the name of the active worksheet/workbook.

To begin creating a formula, type an equal sign (=) in a cell. Then, switch to
the worksheet/workbook containing the data you want to use in your formula.
Select the cell or range of cells you want to reference and press ENTER. If
necessary, you can press CTRL+NUM PAD 5 to hear the coordinates of the last
cell you navigated to. Excel creates the formula and the focus returns to the
cell (and workbook/worksheet) containing the new formula.

At any time, you can press INSERT+TAB or INSERT+C to hear the name and
worksheet of the cell where the formula is being created. Similarly, you can
use the Say Line command (INSERT+UP ARROW) at any time to read the formula. If
you want a list of cells that contain formulas, press INSERT+SHIFT+F. If you
want to cancel the formula and return to that cell in the workbook/worksheet,
press ESC.

Toggling Announcement of Formulas and Comments

The announcement of formulas and comments can be toggled for each worksheet in
a specific workbook. There are two verbosity options for this feature. Both
formula and comment announcement are on by default. They can be toggled
individually on or off through the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box. For
example, formula announcement can be on while comments are off in worksheet 1,
while the reverse is true in worksheet 2.

Beginner Verbosity

When you navigate a spreadsheet at the Beginner verbosity level, JAWS
announces "has comment" if a cell has an attached comment, "has formula" if a
cell contains a formula, and "has hyperlink" if the cell has an associated
hyperlink.

Maximum Number of Rows

The maximum number of rows in a column is 65536, but JAWS only looks at the
first 256 when listing cells with data in the current column (CTRL+SHIFT+C) If
you would like JAWS to search more rows for data, change the maximum allowable
rows to search by reassigning the constant called MaxRowsToSearch in the
excel.jsh file. Please note that this constant cannot be more than the maximum
allowable integer value permitted by JAWS script language.

Position Information

Position Information is a Verbosity Option set in the JAWS Configuration
Manager. At the Advanced level it is typically turned off. For Excel this
setting is turned on. Position Information is useful when working in tables.
When your cursor moves to a new row or column you are informed. To turn this
feature off, activate the JAWS Configuration Manager while working in Excel.
Select Verbosity Options from the Set Options menu. Press the TAB key to move
to the Advanced Preferences button. Press ENTER on that button, and you can
check or uncheck any of these checkboxes, including the one for Position
Information.

Merged Cells

In Excel, you can merge two or more cells into a single cell. When you select
a merged cell, JAWS announces the range of the cells included in the merger.
For example, if you merge cells A1, B1, and C1, JAWS says, "A1 through C1"
when you select the cell.

Monitor Cells in Excel

Ten monitor cells can be set per worksheet. These monitor cells are remembered
as you move in and out of the worksheet. You can actually monitor a range of
cells as well. Select the range of cells before assigning the monitor
keystroke, and then when the monitor keystroke for that cell is pressed, JAWS
reads the range of cells.

Use INSERT+SHIFT+1 through 0 to set the monitor cells. You can also use the
Adjust JAWS Options dialog to set the next available monitor cell to the
current cell. To read the monitor cells use ALT+SHIFT+1 through 0. When
reading monitor cells, JAWS also reads the cells coordinates. In addition,
JAWS announces the title of the cell if you have selected the corresponding
Title Reading option in the Excel verbosity options.

Tip: If you do not want JAWS to announce the titles of monitor cells, press
INSERT+V, select "Announce Monitor Cell Titles," and press the SPACEBAR to
choose "Off."

List the monitored cells by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+M. The coordinates and
contents of each defined monitor cell are listed in the dialog. If the monitor
cell is a range, then the coordinates of the range are displayed. You can
choose to move to the monitor cell from this dialog.

Another Verbosity item is now available to delete all monitor cells for the
current worksheet. When you select this option using the arrow keys, JAWS
announces the number of monitor cells currently assigned to the active
worksheet.

Return to Previous Cell from Monitor Cell

After you use CTRL+SHIFT+M to move to a monitor cell, you can now easily move
back to your position immediately before you moved to the monitor cell with
CTRL+SHIFT+GRAVE.

Region Specific Excel Settings

Title and total reading can be set on a region-by-region basis, and JAWS
automatically uses the settings as you move into the relevant region. JAWS
also tells you when you move into a new region. Now you can have adjacent
tables on the same worksheet.

By default, single region support is enabled. To enable multiple region
support, press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box, move to
Region, and press SPACEBAR to toggle the setting.

Note: When using single region support, the entire worksheet is treated as one
region for title and total reading.

There are two ways to define a region:

Define a range of cells as a region
Use Excel's default definition of a region

Defining a Region

To define a region within Excel:

Select the entire scope of the cells you want included in the region.
Select Insert, Name, Define.
Type in a name for the region and press ENTER.
The advantage to naming your own region is to include blank rows and columns.
JAWS stores the region names in a *.jsi file.

Excel's Default Definition of a Region

By default, Excel defines a region as a group of contiguous cells containing
data. The edges of the region are determined by a surrounding row and column
of empty cells. This means a default Excel region cannot contain a row or
column of blank cells.

JAWS looks only in the current region to calculate row or column totals. If
you request a row or column total and there is an adjacent table, JAWS finds
the accurate total.

Limitations of Multiple Region Support

Multiple region support is designed to enhance the functionality of row and
column title reading as well as row and column total reading. It is not
designed to support all JAWS Excel commands. Many JAWS Excel commands do not
recognize multiple regions. Some of these commands are:
List Cells in Current Column (CTRL+SHIFT+C)
List Cells in Current Row (CTRL+SHIFT+R)
Lists cells at page break (CTRL+SHIFT+B)
List cells with comments (CTRL+SHIFT+APOSTROPHE)
List Visible cells with data (CTRL+SHIFT+D)
There are also a few other commands that do not apply to multiple region
support as they do not list information from spreadsheet cells, such as the
List Worksheets command (CTRL+SHIFT+S).

Saving JAWS Excel Settings

JAWS remembers your Verbosity settings for all Microsoft Excel specific
Verbosity settings across sessions. Excel specific verbosity settings include:
cell reading, selection reading, detect cell number format change, and detect
cell border change.

Workbook Settings

Workbook Settings in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog contains three settings:
Exact Match, Best Match, and New JSI File. Workbook Settings determine what
settings to use to read a particular workbook. If you often receive workbooks
that contain similar setups, for instance, if you receive a workbook every
month for which you can use the same title, total, and monitor settings, you
would not want to have to set these features for every new workbook. Now with
JAWS Workbook Settings, if you choose Best Match, JAWS determines which of
your settings files best matches the current workbook, and automatically loads
these settings.

Note: If you change Verbosity settings while Best Match is selected, the
changes are saved to the JSI file specified under Workbook Settings, Best
Match.

If you only want settings to load if they are designed for a particular
workbook, choose Exact Match.

If you need to modify Verbosity settings for a workbook that uses Best Match
settings, but need to keep the specified JSI file unchanged for use with other
files, select New JSI File, press ENTER to exit the Verbosity dialog, and then
reopen the Verbosity dialog and make your changes. Workbook Settings will be
set to Exact Match, with a JSI file specified for the current workbook.

----------
Excel Row and Column Title Reading

Defining Row and Column Titles

Before JAWS can read the titles of cells within a spreadsheet, you must
specify which columns and/or rows contain those titles. To define row titles,
move to the column containing the row titles and press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+R. To
define column titles, move to the row containing the column titles and press
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+C.

Tip: You can also press INSERT+V to use the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box to
define row and column titles.

Alternatively, you can use Excel's naming function to specify which rows and
columns contain cell titles. Using names instead of JAWS commands makes the
spreadsheet accessible to any user of JAWS 6.10 or later. There is no need to
provide other users with the spreadsheet's .jsi file because the row and
column title information is saved in the worksheet. This feature allows any
spreadsheet author to define row and column titles without installing or using
JAWS.

To use names to define row and column titles, do the following:

Move to the first cell in the column or row containing the titles. If the
spreadsheet contains both row and column titles, move to the cell where these
two intersect.
From the Insert menu, select Name and press RIGHT ARROW.
Select Define and press ENTER.
If the column contains row titles, type "RowTitle" and press ENTER. If the row
contains column titles, type "ColumnTitle" and press ENTER. If the cell is the
intersection of both row and column titles, type "Title" and press ENTER.

If you are defining column/row titles for any worksheet other than worksheet
1, you must add the number of the worksheet after "RowTitle," "ColumnTitle,"
or "Title." For example, if you are defining a row containing column titles in
worksheet 4, you would type "ColumnTitle4." To hear which worksheet you are
in, press INSERT+F1.
Tip: You can define more than one row or column as a title range. For example,
if you want to define rows 1 and 2 as column titles, select both rows and then
assign the name "ColumnTitle" to them.

JAWS can now recognize the cell as the beginning of a range of row and/or
column titles. If a particular worksheet within a workbook has title rows
and/or columns defined using this feature, you cannot use the standard JAWS
method for defining title rows and/or columns. However, if another worksheet
in the same workbook does not have row and column titles defined using the
Excel naming function, you can use the standard JAWS method.

Overriding Named Titles

Any JAWS user can override row and column title information provided by the
spreadsheet author. To do this, press INSERT+V while you are in Excel to open
the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box. Select "Override Named Titles" and use the
SPACEBAR to cycle through the available options. Choose "On for the current
file" to override named titles only in the currently open spreadsheet. Choose
"On for all files" to override named titles in all spreadsheets that you open
in Excel. If you want to use the row and column title information provided by
the author again, choose "Off."

Defining Row and Column Titles for Worksheets with Multiple Regions

You can define individual row and/or column titles for different regions in
the same workbook. To define a row and/or column title for region, you use the
same procedure described in Defining Row and Column Titles to assign a
specific name to a cell in the heading row and/or column. However, you must
use the following procedure when defining names for row and column titles that
are specific to one region:

Type "TitleRegion," "RowTitleRegion," or "ColumnTitleRegion" depending on
whether this cell is in the heading row, heading column, or both.
Type the region number. For example, you would type a "1" if the cells were in
the first region. There should be no space between the previous text and this
number.
Type a period followed by the coordinates of the top, left cell in the region
(for example, "A1").
Type a period followed by the coordinates of the bottom, right cell in the
region (for example, "N9").
Type a period followed by the worksheet number. For example, you would type a
"1" if the cell was in worksheet 1.
For example, assume you have a spreadsheet with a region whose boundaries are
row 1 at column A and row 9 at column N. It also has a second region with
boundaries of row 10 at column C and row 14 at column D. Both regions are on
worksheet 1. To define row 1 as the row containing column headers for the
cells in the first region, you would assign the following name to cell A1:
ColumnTitleRegion1.A1.N9.1. To define row 9 as the row containing column
headers for the cells in the second region, you would assign the following
name to cell C10: ColumnTitleRegion2.C10.D14.1.

Changing Title Reading Options

You can change how JAWS reads row and column titles you have defined in the
Excel options. Press INSERT+V, select "Title Reading," and press the SPACEBAR
to choose one of the following:

Off - JAWS does not announce row or column titles.
Read Row Titles - When you move to a different row, JAWS reads the row title.
JAWS does not announce column titles.
Read Column Titles - When you move to a different column, JAWS reads the
column title. JAWS does not announce row titles.
Read Both Titles - When you move to a different column, JAWS reads the column
title. When you move to a different row, JAWS reads the row title.

Reading Columns and Rows Containing Totals

You can indicate which columns and/or rows contain the total of values in
other cells. If the spreadsheet calculates column totals, move to the row
containing these totals and press CTRL+INSERT+DELETE. If the spreadsheet
calculates row totals, move to the column containing these totals and press
CTRL+INSERT+ENTER.

Tip: You can also press INSERT+V to use the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box to
specify which row and column contains totals.

After you have defined the row that contains column totals, you can press
INSERT+DELETE to hear the total for the current column. Similarly, after you
have defined the column that contains row totals, you can press INSERT+ENTER
to hear the total for the current row.

JAWS only reads the value displayed in the totals row/column and does not
automatically perform the necessary calculations. You must use Excel to insert
a formula that will calculate the total of a given range of cells. For more
information on using formulas, refer to Miscellaneous Excel Hints.

Reading Visible Rows and Columns of a Spreadsheet

JAWS provides keystrokes to read only the portion of the spreadsheet that is
visible on the screen. If Title reading is enabled, pressing these keystrokes
reads the appropriate title cells followed by the visible cells' contents.


Description


Keystroke

INSERT+UP ARROW


Read visible row to current cell


INSERT+HOME


Read visible row from current cell


INSERT+PAGE UP

INSERT+CTRL+PAGE UP

Using One Settings File for Similar Spreadsheets with Different File Names

When you define settings like row and column titles and totals, you may want
these settings to be available for other versions of the spreadsheet that have
different names. For example, suppose that you define row and column totals
for a spreadsheet named Sales1.xls. This spreadsheet is updated each month,
and the name is changed accordingly. Therefore, next month's spreadsheet will
be named Sales2.xls and so on. However, by default, JAWS only loads settings
(.jsi) files for spreadsheets with the same file name. JAWS will not use
settings you defined for Sales1.xls for Sales2.xls.

However, JAWS provides a feature that allows you to apply an existing settings
file to a spreadsheet with a different name that is similar in design. To use
this feature, open the spreadsheet in Excel, press INSERT+V, select the option
"Workbook Settings," and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Best Match." JAWS
searches for the closest matching settings file available and applies it to
the current workbook. In the previous example, the spreadsheet Sales2.xls
would use the settings file you created for Sales1.xls (excel_Sales1.xls.jsi).
This feature makes it easy to apply your verbosity settings to subsequent
versions of a spreadsheet without creating new a file each time the name
changes.

Front Page Helpful Hints

FrontPage contains certain features that make authoring Web Pages quite
simple. For example, when you use FrontPage to edit existing HTML and script
projects created with other tools, FrontPage will preserve the original code,
including tag, comment order, capitalization, and white space. You can also
personalize HTML formatting by setting your preferences for how to indent
code, what colors tags should appear in, when to capitalize, and when to use
optional tags. When you create or import content, FrontPage will apply your
preferences. In Normal view, or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) view,
you can use the Reveal HTML Tags option to see the tags that are responsible
for your page effects.

An easy way to view the layout, including all the form controls of your Web
page is to press CTRL+SHIFT+B to preview in browser. To learn more about
navigating in an HTML table see Using JAWS to Navigate Tables.

The Page View, allows you to edit as you would in Microsoft Word. You can use
many of the same keystrokes, such as bold, italic, underline, alignment, left
and right justify, and center. Pressing INSERT+F will speak font, point size
and attribute as it does by default. The alignment will not be spoken. Not all
the material that can be read on the page can be edited. It is not uncommon to
press the DOWN ARROW key to move to a line that says, for example: Submit
Reset, however, you cannot get to the Submit or Reset with the PC Cursor, as
these are not editable. To edit the content of these controls, simply switch
to the HTML view with a CTRL+PAGE DOWN. These control types only appear after
you have inserted them via the Form Wizard, or by editing the HTML source
yourself. The normal view in FrontPage respects all code that is added and/or
removed in the HTML view.

ActiveX Manager

The ActiveX Manager allows you to naturally blend Microsoft Active
Accessibility (MSAA) information from embedded activeX controls on a web page
with the rendering of the surrounding HTML. This is used to support Macromedia
Flash objects and also Microsoft Project Central web grids. There are only a
couple of requirements for this support to work.

The ActiveX control must support MSAA.
The ActiveX control must reside inside a child window of the Internet_Explorer
Server window with its own unique window class.
The ActiveX control must be referenced from the HTML document via an Object
tag that has a classid attribute specifying a unique class identifier for the
activeX control.
If the ActiveX control meets these requirements, it is a simple matter of
adding some entries to an ini style settings file to support this ActiveX
control.

ActiveX Manager Settings File

The ActiveX Manager settings file resides in the C:\Documents and
Settings\User Name\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the
JAWS version number)\Settings\Enu folder. The file name is JActiveX.ini. Each
section of this file specifies the rules for a particular ActiveX control. The
section name is the Class Identifier of the control and must match the classid
attribute's value of the object tag from the HTML source.

JActiveX.ini Keys and Values

The following keys are written as they must appear in the JActiveX.ini file.

WindowClass=the window class of the child window of the Internet_Explorer
Server window containing the activeX control. for example, Macromedia Flash
objects have a class of MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX.

Description=Any brief textual description of the ActiveX control.

StartString=String of text used to identify the beginning of the rendering in
the JAWS virtual buffer. For example, "Macromedia Flash Movie Start."

EndString=The string of text marking the end of the rendering of the ActiveX
control. For example, "Macromedia Flash Movie end."

UseFormsMode=specifies a value as follows:
0 means use Forms Mode for edit controls, combo boxes, or list boxes;
otherwise do not use Forms Mode.
1 means use Forms Mode for any part of the ActiveX control. I.e., press ENTER
anywhere within the rendering of the control and JAWS enters Forms Mode. Forms
Mode is used for editing or interacting with a particular part of the control.

RenderingLevel=A value specifying how this control is rendered:
0 means render nothing (turn off support for this ActiveX control).
1 means render the title of the object only (use in conjunction with the
"UseFormsMode" key. If this key is set to 1 then the start and end strings are
ignored.
2 means render the entire MSAA hierarchy and use the start and end strings to
introduce and terminate the rendering.

MSAAFlags=A value specifying how the MSAA information is used. Currently
supported values include:
0 never append description.
1 append description if different to name.
2 always append description.

For more information about MSAA name, description, value etc, refer to the
Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) topics about Microsoft Active
Accessibility.

JActiveX.ini Section Example

[clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000]
WindowClass=MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX

Custom Labels

JAWS allows you to assign custom text labels to almost any HTML element that
you can move to by pressing the TAB key in Internet Explorer, America Online,
and HTML documents. These elements include text links, graphic links, form
fields, and buttons. You can also label images on Web pages. JAWS reads these
custom labels instead of the identifying text assigned to the elements by the
Web page author. JAWS also uses custom labels to identify elements when they
appear in lists, such as the list of form fields that displays when you press
INSERT+F5. You can use this feature to customize the elements of any Web page
to help you navigate the page, reduce verbosity, compensate for incomplete or
poorly labeled elements, and similar functions.

Tip: You can also use this feature to label form fields in Microsoft Word and
Adobe Acrobat or Reader.

JAWS saves the labels you assign to a Web page so they are available each time
you use that page. In addition, the labels you create are applied to identical
elements any time they appear in that page's domain. For example, if you
assign a label to a button, JAWS reads that label any time you encounter the
button on any Web page within that domain. Custom labels are saved in .jsi
files in the Settings\Enu\PersonalizedSettings folder.

Assigning a Custom Label

To assign a custom label to an element or change a custom label already
assigned to an element, do the following:

Move to the element you want to label. You can use the TAB key, standard JAWS
reading commands, or a list of elements.
Press INSERT+F2, select "Custom Label," and press ENTER.
Tip: You can also press CTRL+INSERT+TAB to create a custom label for the
current element.

Type the text you want to use for the label and press ENTER.
JAWS reads the new custom label each time you encounter this element. In
addition, JAWS displays the custom label instead of the original identifying
text when the element appears in JAWS lists. However, if you use INSERT+Z to
turn off the virtual cursor, your custom labels will not be available.

Deleting a Custom Label

To delete a custom label, do the following:

Move to the element with the label you want to delete. You can use the TAB
key, standard JAWS reading commands, or a list of elements.
Press INSERT+F2, select "Custom Label Delete," and press ENTER.
To delete all custom labels on a page, do the following:

Go to the Web page containing the labels you want to delete.
Press INSERT+F2, select "Custom Label Delete All," and press ENTER.

Sharing Custom Labels

You can use Settings Packager to share your Custom Labels for a Web site or
document with other JAWS users. Settings Packager is a program that lets you
save settings in a compressed .zip file that you can send in an e-mail
message, post on a Web site, or copy to removable storage media. You can also
use Settings Packager to import the settings contained in these .zip files
into JAWS. To start Settings Packager, press INSERT+F2, select "Settings
Packager," and press ENTER. For more information on using this program, open
the Settings Packager Help menu and choose Help Topics.

HTML Elements

Web pages are written in HTML. HTML elements are like the features in a word
processor that tell the web browser how to display information. Everything
displayed on a web page is an element. The type of element determines how
something is displayed and what it is. Paragraphs, headings, tables, lists,
and links are all examples of HTML elements.

Some elements are used hierarchically, representing the relationship of
information on the page. For example, a table is made up of several elements
which signal the beginning of the table, define a table row, place information
inside a cell within a row, etc.

Attributes are used to modify HTML elements, what they do, to provide more
information, or to change how the element is displayed in a web browser.
Alignment, borders, access keys, alternate text, and title text are all
provided with attributes. To learn more about HTML, visit the World Wide Web
Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative.

Move by Element

At times you may wish to skip over an entire part of a web page. JAWS provides
commands to move to the next or prior HTML element. Move either to the next or
prior instance of the same type element, or to the next or prior instance of a
different element. For example, use the Next Different Element command, D, to
move past a list.

Description  Command
	 Next Same Element 	 S

	 Prior Same Element 	 SHIFT+S

	 Next Different Element 	 D

	 Prior Different Element 	 SHIFT+D


Select Entire Element

JAWS provides a command that allows you to select an entire part of a web
page, select an entire table, or select an entire list. To select an entire
list, move to the line that reads, "List with x items," and press F8. The list
is selected and ready to be copied to the clipboard. To select an entire
table, move to the line that reads, "Table with x columns and y rows," and
press F8. When selecting a table and copying it to the Clipboard, the table
formatting is lost. Information from each cell of the table starts on a new
line.

Note: What is selected is based on where the Virtual Cursor is located, so it
is important to move to the beginning line of a list or table if you want to
select the entire list or table. For example, if the Virtual Cursor is on a
list item, rather than at the top of the list, only that list item is
selected.

Step Out of Element

JAWS lets you step out of an element, such as a table or list, so you can move
around more quickly. Press > to step past the current table, list, or other
element. Press < to step before the current table, list, or other element.

Display Element Information

If a page is not designed clearly, obtaining information about HTML elements
may help you to understand the layout of the page. Now, view basic or advanced
HTML element information. Press INSERT+SHIFT+F1 to view basic HTML element
information. This includes the assigned attributes and their values for the
current element and the element directly above it in the HTML page hierarchy.
For example, if you use this command while an image within a link is
highlighted, JAWS provides all information on both the image and the link.

Press CTRL+INSERT+SHIFT+F1 to receive advanced HTML element information. This
includes the assigned attributes and their values for the current element and
the elements directly above it in the HTML page hierarchy. For example, if you
use this command while within a table, you receive information for the table
data cell, the table row, the table, the body of the HTML page, and the HTML
document element.

This information comes directly from the HTML source code for the web page,
and is very useful. For example, on a page with a series of graphical links,
where the graphics are labeled with alternate text of "Image One," "Image
Two," and "Image Three," these commands would provide more information about
each graphical link. This would include the file name of the pages to which
each link leads, and that could help you determine what is on each page.

----------
HTML Forms

HTML forms on web pages allow you to enter information and send it to another
computer. Examples of forms include shopping carts, feedback forms, and
web-based email and bulletin boards.

Web based forms are collections of controls such as you would find in a
Windows dialog. Check boxes, combo boxes, edit fields, and radio buttons are
all found on web pages.

Moving through Forms

With the Virtual Cursor on, press CTRL+INSERT+HOME to move to the first form
field. To move to the next form field, press F. To move to the previous form
field, press SHIFT+F. To move to the last form field, press CTRL+INSERT+END.

Press INSERT+F5 to get a list of form fields on a page. Select an item from
this list and press ENTER to move to a specific field. JAWS automatically
activates Forms Mode for the item, allowing to enter information or make a
selection.

You can also use the following Navigation Quick Keys to move to specific types
of form controls on the page:

Press C to move to the next combo box.
Press E to move to the next edit box.
Press R to move to the next radio button.
Press X to move to the next check box.
Hold down SHIFT before pressing a Navigation Quick Key to move to the previous
form control of that type. In addition, if you hold down INSERT+CTRL  and then
press one of these keys, JAWS displays a list of all form controls of that
type that are on the page. Select a form control from the list and press ENTER
to move to it.

TAB Order

Authors of web pages can specify the TAB order for form controls by using the
"Tabindex" HTML attribute. JAWS moves through the controls in this specified
order when you press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the form. If the
"Tabindex" attribute is not assigned to all fields, JAWS first moves through
the items with a "Tabindex" assigned, then moves through the other form fields
and links in the order they appear on the page.

Forms Mode

To make changes to form controls, move the Virtual Cursor to a form control,
and press ENTER to switch to Forms Mode. JAWS says, "Forms Mode On," the
information and the name of the control. When you press ENTER to go into Forms
Mode, the PC cursor is activated on the current control. If the control is an
edit field, the cursor is placed at the top of the field. If the control is a
check box, the state of the check box is toggled. If the control is a radio
button that is not checked, it is checked.

To navigate within an edit field while in Forms Mode, use the arrow keys as
you normally would. To move to the next form field while in Forms Mode, press
TAB. To move to the previous field, press SHIFT+TAB.

Tip: If Forms Mode is on and you use the Say Line (INSERT+UP ARROW) or Say All
(INSERT+DOWN ARROW) commands in an edit box, JAWS reads all the text on the
current line. This may include text that is not inside the edit box, such as a
label or description.

To exit Forms Mode, press NUM PAD PLUS. If the Forms Mode Auto Off setting is
enabled, then JAWS automatically exits Forms Mode when the page content is
updated. This setting is enabled by default. For more information on this
setting, refer to the help topic HTML Options Dialog.

Check Boxes and Radio Buttons

To check a check box or radio button without entering Forms Mode, press
SPACEBAR or NUM PAD SLASH when the Virtual Cursor is on the item. If you are
on a checkbox, the state of the checkbox is toggled. If you are on a radio
button that is unchecked, the radio button is checked.

Combo Boxes

If you enter Forms Mode in a Combo box, the first item is selected. To change
the selection, press UP or DOWN ARROW.

Tip: In some forms, changing the selection in a combo box opens a new page
automatically. To work with these combo boxes, press ALT+DOWN ARROW to open
the list of choices, Then move to an item and press ENTER to make your
selection.

Multiple Selection

To make multiple selections in a list box, press TAB to move into the list
box. Press SHIFT+F8 to move into Multi-Select mode. Use UP and DOWN ARROW to
move through the list, and press SPACEBAR to make your selections. Press
SHIFT+F8 again when you are finished.

Form Control Prompts

JAWS attempts to associate each form field with a textual prompt. JAWS can
identify when a prompt is specifically associated with a control, and speaks
the correct prompt when you move to that control. If no prompt is specifically
associated with a control, JAWS attempts to identify text positioned near the
control as the prompt. This is most accurate when the text is directly above
or to the left of the form control.

Label Element

The author of a web page can use the "Label" element with the "For" attribute
to assign a prompt to a specific form field. JAWS reads this label when you
move to the associated form field.

Fieldset and Legend Elements

The "Fieldset" element is used to group form controls in the same way as a
group box groups controls within a dialog box. The "Legend" element gives
these groups of controls a name. JAWS reads the legend as you move to each
form control within the "Fieldset" with TAB, SHIFT+TAB, or form control
specific navigation commands such as F.

If you do not wish to hear the "fieldset" legend information, disable it in
Configuration Manager, Verbosity Options. Select the button for the verbosity
level you are using. In the Speech Output Types list, move to the Control
Group Name check box and press SPACEBAR to clear the check mark. Select Ok to
accept your changes, select Ok again, then save the open configuration file to
save your settings. For more information, refer to Verbosity Options.

Authoring Considerations

Forms on some web pages are not written with accessibility in mind, and JAWS
cannot obtain enough information to read the form controls properly. If JAWS
does not read form controls correctly while you are in Forms Mode, reading the
form with the Virtual Cursor may provide additional helpful information. Press
ENTER to turn Forms Mode on and fill in a form field. Then press NUM PAD PLUS
to exit Forms Mode and continue reading the form with the Virtual Cursor.

HTML Frames

Frames display multiple web pages at the same time by splitting the browser
window into several panes, each displaying a separate page. The frames on a
page may be arranged vertically, horizontally, or mixed so that, for example,
one frame appears on top with two frames side by side below it. In this way,
frames provide structure visually on a page and allow text on one portion of
the page, such as a listing of navigation links, to remain the same while
another portion changes. JAWS provides commands that allow you to navigate
easily on a page with frames.

To move to the next frame, press M. To move to the prior frame, press SHIFT+M.

Note:  The JAWS script MoveToFrameByNumber allows you to move directly to the
first through tenth frame. By default, this script is not assigned to a
keystroke. If you want to use this feature, you can assign this script to a
keystroke in the Keyboard Manager.

To open a list of frames, press INSERT+F9. Press UP and DOWN ARROW to move
through the list, or press the first letter of a frame. To move the cursor to
the location of the selected frame, press ENTER. To close the list, press ESC.

JAWS announces the beginning and end of frames, reading the frame title if one
is available. If no frame title is available, JAWS reads the frame name. To
change this setting temporarily so that JAWS provides no information about
frames, use the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box. To change it permanently, use
the HTML Options dialog box in Configuration Manager. For more information,
refer to:
HTML Options
HTML Options Dialog

Inline Frames

Inline Frames are embedded directly within a web page and display the contents
of another page. Inline frames are often used to display advertisements. You
can set JAWS to temporarily ignore inline frames in the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog. Press INSERT+V, move to Inline Frames, and press SPACEBAR to toggle
the setting. You can set this option permanently in Configuration Manager,
HTML Options, by checking the Ignore Inline Frames check box.

General HTML Hints

Favorites Menu

The Favorites menu is available in many HTML applications like Internet
Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. This menu allows you to save the addresses of
sites you like, so that you can return to them later. The Favorites menu also
allows you to organize your list of Web sites into folders and subfolders.

History

The History window lists the pages you have visited in the last three weeks.
To toggle the status of this window, press CTRL+H. When the History window
opens, it displays a tree view listing visited sites. Each site is shown and
is closed. To open it so that the tree view includes the pages you visited
from that site, press RIGHT ARROW. To visit the selected page, press ENTER.

Jump to Line

You can use JAWS to quickly jump to any line of an HTML page. Press J to
display the Jump to Line dialog box. This dialog box shows the number of lines
available and the line number of your current location on the page. Enter the
line number you want to jump to and press ENTER. You can return to your
previous location on the HTML page by pressing SHIFT+J.

Tip: Occasionally, certain lines in an HTML page may change, such as when you
press INSERT+CTRL+ENTER on an image with the OnMouseOver attribute and an
expanded menu displays. When an HTML page is updated, JAWS announces the line
number where the change occurred. Press J and enter the line number to jump to
the new content. You can press SHIFT+J to return to your previous location on
the page.

Address Bar

Every Web page has a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) which serves as the
address of the page. For example, the URL for the Freedom Scientific page is
http://www.FreedomScientific.com. The Address Bar shows the URL of the Web
page you are viewing. To read the Address Bar, press INSERT+A. To move to the
address bar, press ALT+D.

Selecting Text on a Web Page

To select text on a Web page, use the standard Windows commands for selecting
text. The text that is selected is not highlighted as it would be in a text
editor or word processing application. The Say Selected Text command
(SHIFT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW) speaks the selected text.

Open Context Menu at Virtual Cursor Location

Context menus present options for handling pages, links, and images. To open a
context menu at the Virtual Cursor location, press NUM PAD STAR.

List Internet Explorer Toolbar Buttons

The buttons on the Internet Explorer Toolbar present options for moving to
recently visited pages, favorites, or working with the current page. To open a
list of these buttons, press INSERT+F8.

Conventional Mode

The Virtual Cursor provides the most functionality when working in HTML
documents, and makes it easy to browse the Internet and locate information.
However, if you wish to turn off the Virtual Cursor and work in conventional
mode, press INSERT+Z. To permanently turn off the Virtual Cursor, clear the
Use Virtual PC Cursor checkbox in the Advanced Options dialog in Configuration
Manager.

If you turn off the Virtual Cursor, most of the functionality discussed in the
HTML help topics is not available.

More Information with Read Window Title

When you use the Read Window Title command, INSERT+T, within Internet Explorer
or other HTML document, JAWS reads the heading of the section of the page you
are in, the name of the frame you are in, and the window title.

More Information for Buttons in Web Forms

Select the information JAWS speaks for buttons found in forms on web pages.
JAWS can use Title text, Screen text, ALT text, the Value attribute, the
longest string of information, or a custom search string. Screen text is the
default. Set this option permanently in Configuration Manager, HTML Options;
or set it temporarily in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog, INSERT+V.

Virtual Cursor in Web Dialogs

The Virtual Cursor also moves through many web based dialogs. This provides
the same functionality as on a web page. For example, in Internet Explorer,
select Help, About (ALT+H, A).

Tabbing Through Text

A web page author can specify the TAB order for various elements, including
textual elements such as paragraphs and headings. When you press TAB, JAWS
moves between and reads any HTML element that has its TAB order specified.
JAWS first moves through those elements with a specified TAB order, and honors
the specified order. Then JAWS moves through links and form controls with no
specified TAB order, in the order they appear on the page. You cannot TAB to
textual elements with no TAB order specified.

Graphics as Buttons

A web page author can make an image act as a button, even if the image is not
part of a form control. JAWS includes such images regardless of the HTML
Graphics Options setting. However, you cannot TAB to these graphics like you
can TAB to actual form buttons.

Acronyms and Abbreviations on Web Pages

JAWS can read Title text associated with acronyms and abbreviations on web
pages. To enable this feature, open the HTML Options dialog from Configuration
Manager. Move to the Text page and choose Expand Abbreviations and/or Expand
Acronyms and press SPACEBAR to check the check box.

Internet Explorer Getting Started

We recommend you use Internet Explorer 5 or newer with JAWS. Internet Explorer
4.01 is still supported as in earlier versions of JAWS, but JAWS now takes
advantage of newer technology that is only available in Internet Explorer 5
and newer. For best performance, we recommend Internet Explorer 5.5, 6, or 7.

Note: Internet Explorer 7 is supported by JAWS 7.10 or greater.

Internet Explorer allows you to read documents on the World Wide Web as well
as interact with other people in several ways. You can move through web pages,
open new pages, and fill out forms easily.

JAWS uses the Virtual Cursor within Internet Explorer, letting you read as you
would in a word processing document. The Virtual Cursor is also available in
other applications, such as HTML based help systems, HTML based e-mails in
Outlook and Outlook Express, and in PDF (Portable Document Format) files. Many
of the features discussed within these topics are also available wherever the
Virtual Cursor is used. For specific information on what features are
available, refer to the JAWS help topic for the application you are using.

Reading and Moving Through Web Pages

When you open Internet Explorer, your home page opens. If you don't have a
home page specified, you can select a web page from your Favorites menu, or
press ALT+D to move to the Address Bar and type in the address of a page. Once
a page is selected, Internet Explorer loads it and JAWS announces the presence
of frames, links, headings, forms, and more. Then JAWS begins reading the text
on the screen from top to bottom. To move through the page, use UP and DOWN
ARROW, PAGE UP, and PAGE DOWN as you would in a word processing document. The
JAWS commands to Read By Word, Line, Sentence, and Paragraph work normally.

Note: If you start to read before a page finishes loading, some of the page
may not be available.

JAWS says, "link," when it encounters a link to another document or portion of
the page. To follow a link, press ENTER while positioned on the link. For more
information about using links, refer to HTML links.

To go back to the previous page, press ALT+LEFT ARROW or BACKSPACE. To move
forward one page after you have moved back, press ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

Quick and Easy Navigation

JAWS provides easy to use and remember commands to move through web pages.
Press a single letter on your keyboard and move right to an item. For example,
you can press T for table, F for form control, V for visited link, H for
heading, and so on. Add SHIFT to move to the previous element of that type.
For a complete listing of these commands, visit Navigation Quick Keys.

Displaying Lists of Information

JAWS can look at a Web page and compile lists of paragraphs, links, headings,
form fields, and other elements so you can quickly find what you need and move
to information. Press INSERT+F3 to open the Virtual HTML Features dialog box.
This dialog box allows you to choose from a variety of lists containing
information about different types of elements on the current page. Select an
item and press ENTER to view a list of all those elements.

You also can use the following commands to quickly display lists of the
following important HTML elements:

Form Fields - Press INSERT+F5
Headings - Press INSERT+F6
Links - Press INSERT+F7
Frames - Press INSERT+F9
In addition, if you hold down CTRL+INSERT and press one of several Navigation
Quick Keys, JAWS displays a list of those elements on the current page. For
example, to display a list of check boxes on the current page, press
CTRL+INSERT+X. For a complete list of keystrokes that display lists of
elements, refer to Navigation Quick Keys.

Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to move through the lists and select items.
Alternatively, press the first letter of an item to move right to it. Press
ENTER to move to the selected item's location on the page.

Interacting with Forms

JAWS lets you easily work with forms on the web. Press F to move to the next
form control on the page or SHIFT+F to move to the previous form control on
the page. Press ENTER to enter Forms Mode. Press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move
between form controls while in Forms Mode. Type in edit fields, check check
boxes, and select items from lists and combo boxes. Press NUM PAD PLUS to exit
Forms Mode. For more information, visit HTML Forms.

HTML Headings

IN HTML, headings are used to indicate the start of sections and subsections
of a page. When viewing all headings on a page, if the headings are used
properly, the hierarchy of the heading levels indicates how the page is
structured. This makes it easier to find information and understand the
relationships within the information.

JAWS recognizes headings at levels 1 through 6. Press H to move to the next
heading, or press SHIFT+H to move to the prior heading. To view all the
headings navigation commands, refer to Commands for Headings.

JAWS Headings List Dialog

The JAWS Headings List dialog (INSERT+F6) lists headings on the current page,
and indicates the heading level. Move to a listed heading in the Headings List
with the arrow keys, or type the first few letters of heading text to move to
it. Press ENTER to move to the selected heading within the web page.

Press ALT plus the number of the heading level (1 through 6) to display only
headings at that level. Press ALT+L to display all headings.

To list headings in alphabetic order, press ALT+P. To list headings in TAB
order, press ALT+T.

Heading Announcement

When you navigate to a heading while reading a Web page, JAWS says, "Heading,"
and then indicates the heading's level, followed by the text. If you move to a
heading by pressing H, JAWS reads the text followed by the word "heading" and
the heading's level.

To temporarily turn off heading announcement, press INSERT+V to open the
Adjust JAWS Options dialog box and select "Heading Announcement." Press
SPACEBAR to cycle through the available settings.

To permanently change this setting, from within Internet Explorer or any other
HTML-based application:

Press INSERT+F2, select Configuration Manager, and press ENTER. This opens the
application's configuration (.jcf) file in Configuration Manager.
Press ALT+S, H to open HTML Options.
Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Headings and Frames page.
Within the Headings Verbosity radio buttons, select either No Headings,
Headings Only, Headings with Level, Play Sound, or Speak Heading Using Voice.
Press ENTER and then press CTRL+S to save your changes.
Press ALT+F4 to close Configuration Manager.

HTML Authoring Considerations

The HTML heading navigation features are extremely useful on pages that use
headings as they are intended. However, many web pages are written that do not
properly use headings. The heading navigation features may not be as useful on
these pages. For information about proper use of HTML and other Internet
related technologies, please refer to www.w3.org/wai, the World Wide Web
Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative.

HTML Images

Images are often used to enhance the appearance of a web page, and can also
serve as icons, buttons, links, and backgrounds of pages.

Text Equivalents for Images

HTML attributes are used to provide text to accompany images. When used
correctly, this text provides information which allows you to gain a better
understanding of the images and what purpose they serve. JAWS cannot read
information from the actual image, but JAWS does read this accompanying text.

The "Alt" attribute is used to include a brief description of an image. JAWS
reads this text when it is available.
The "Title" attribute is used to provide supplemental information about an
image. JAWS reads title text if alt text is not available.
The "Longdesc" attribute is used to provide a long description of an image on
a separate page. If JAWS announces that there is a long description press
ENTER to open the page containing the long description in a new window.

JAWS HTML Graphics Settings

JAWS provides settings so you can determine which graphics are announced, and
what information is read.

Set JAWS to announce all graphics, only tagged graphics, or no graphics. By
default, JAWS reads only "tagged" graphics. Graphics that contain no alt or
title text are ignored. Graphics that include a "null" or empty alt text value
are ignored even if you have JAWS set to announce all graphics.

With JAWS set to read all graphics, if no alt or title text is included, JAWS
reads the file name of the graphic.

Set the order in which JAWS looks for information about graphics. JAWS reads
the first information found. Set JAWS to first look for alt text, title text,
the longest string of information, a quoted string of text from an
"onmouseover" attribute, or specify a custom search order for information
about graphics.

To temporarily change the type of information JAWS provides about images, use
the Adjust JAWS Options dialog. To change it permanently, use the HTML Options
Dialog from within the Configuration Manager. For more information, refer to:

HTML Options
HTML Options Dialog

Graphics and Links

When JAWS encounters a link which includes a graphic, it says, "link graphic"
followed by the alt or title text. If no alt or title text is available, JAWS
reads the file name of the image.

Sections of images are often mapped out by coordinates and used as links. JAWS
says, "image map link" when it encounters these links. If no text accompanies
the link, JAWS reads a portion of the address of the target page.

JAWS can be set to announce all graphic and image map links, only those that
are tagged, or to ignore all graphic and image map links. These settings are
adjusted temporarily in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog, or set permanently in
Configuration Manager, HTML Options.

Background Images

Web pages sometimes use images as backgrounds. JAWS cannot provide information
about background images because HTML provides no way to associate a textual
equivalent.

Internet Explorer 7 Overview

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 introduces several new features that are
described in this brief overview.

Note: Internet Explorer 7 is supported by JAWS 7.10 or later.

What You Hear When You Open Internet Explorer 7

When you first open the browser, JAWS announces the following items before

----------
HTML Links

Links allow you to move from one portion of a document to another or from one
document to another. Most programs underline the text of links and displays
different colored text for visited and unvisited links. When reading a Web
page with the Virtual Cursor, JAWS places each link on its own line, even if
the document visually presents the link on a line with other text or
additional links.

Moving to Links

To move through the links on the page, press TAB for the next, and SHIFT+TAB
for the prior link. These commands cycle through all links.
To move through visited links, press V for the next, and SHIFT+V for the prior
visited link.
To move through unvisited links, press U for the next. and SHIFT+U for the
prior unvisited link. These commands do not move to same page links because
they are never considered unvisited.
To open a link, press ENTER. To force the link to open in a new window, press
SHIFT+ENTER.
To skip past a series of links, press N. JAWS moves to the first text of at
least 25 characters that is not a link. To move to the text above a series of
links, press SHIFT+N.

Link Announcement

When you move to a link with the Virtual Cursor, JAWS announces the type of
link and the text of the link. JAWS announces the type of link as follows:

Link: This indicates a link that has not been visited.
Visited Link: This indicates a link that has been visited. This is determined
by your browser history, not by which links have been selected on the current
Web page. If you clear the History List, the links are no longer announced as
visited.
This Page Link: This indicates a link that moves you to another location on
the same page.
Send Mail Link: This indicates a link that opens a new e-mail message using
your default e-mail program. The To field of the new e-mail is already filled
out, and the Subject field is sometimes filled out as well.
FTP Link: This indicates a link that points to a FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
server. Usually, these links are to files, and when you select them, the
browser displays a dialog asking if you want to save the file to your
computer.
JAWS announces when a graphic is used as part of a link. Image Map Links are
also announced. Image map links are part of an image. A small section of the
image is mapped out to represent a "hot spot" that is normally clicked with
the mouse. JAWS moves to image map links the same way it does to other links.
For more information, refer to Graphics and Links.

JAWS provides configuration settings for links, so you can determine what
information and how much information you wish to hear:

By Default, JAWS speaks the on screen text of a link, but you can set JAWS to
instead speak Title text, assigned by the page author within the HTML code.
Title text normally provides supplemental information about the link.
By default, JAWS announces the link type, but you can disable this, so JAWS
announces same page links, send mail links, and ftp links as "link," or
"Visited Link."
Change these settings temporarily in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog, INSERT+V.
Change these settings permanently in Configuration Manager, HTML Options. For
more information, refer to:
HTML Options
HTML Options Dialog

Links List Dialog

Use the Links List Dialog to quickly locate and select links on a web page.
Press INSERT+F7 to open the Links List. Press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW, or the
first letter of a link's text to move through the list of links, and press
ENTER to open a link.

You can also move through the controls in this dialog by pressing TAB. There
are buttons to move to the location of a link on the page or to open a link.
There are radio button groups to filter and sort the links that display in the
list. There are also access keys for all these controls, so you can select the
options without leaving the list of links.

Setting  Access Key
	 Move to Link 	 ALT+M
	 Activate Link 	 ALT+A
	 Sort Links in TAB Order 	 ALT+T
	 Sort Links Alphabetically 	 ALT+P
	 Display All Links 	 ALT+L
	 Display Visited Links Only 	 ALT+V
	 Display Unvisited Links 	 ALT+U
Tip: While in the list of links, press INSERT+PAGE DOWN to read the status
bar. JAWS reads the web page address for the current link.

HTML Lists

Within HTML, lists are used to present information in several ways. Knowing
when items are presented in a list and what type of list is used can help you
to understand the relationships within the listed information.

Bulleted lists present items which are not sequential, such as a list of
choices.
Numbered lists present items sequentially, such as a step-by-step procedure.
Definition lists present lists of terms with their definitions, such as a
glossary.
Press L to move to the next list. Press SHIFT+L to move to the previous list.
To move to the next item within a list, press I. Press SHIFT+I to move to the
previous item in a list.

Bulleted Lists

When JAWS encounters a bulleted list, it announces "list of x items," x being
the number of items in the list. JAWS says "bullet" before reading each item
in the list.

Bulleted List Example

Coffee
Tea
Milk

Numbered Lists

Numbered lists are often used to present step-by-step instructions. When JAWS
encounters a numbered list, it says "list of x items," x being the number of
items in the list. JAWS reads the number preceeding each item followed by the
text of that item.

Numbered List Example 1

Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Numbering in lists may not always begin with the number 1. Lists are sometimes
interrupted and resumed later on the page.

Numbered List Example 2

This list resumes from the example shown above.

Step 4.
Step 5.
Letters or Roman numerals can be used instead of numbers in these lists. JAWS
reads the appropriate letter or number preceding each list item.

Definition Lists

JAWS says "definition list of x items" when it encounters a definition list.
JAWS reads each term and places an equal sign between the term and definition.

Definition List Example

Access Key Underlined letter on a menu or command used for quick access to
that item. Check Box A small box with a brief text label. Press SPACEBAR to
check or clear the check box, which sets or clears the option. Combo Box A box
from which you choose from standard choices.


Nested Lists

A list which is included as an item in another list is called a nested list.
Nested lists are often used to create outlines. JAWS announces the nesting
level of each list.

Nested List Example

Major topic in an outline
Second major topic
Subtopic
Point 1
Point 2
Subtopic 2
Third major Topic

Turning Off Announcement of Lists

If you wish to turn off the announcement of lists temporarily, follow these
steps:

Open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog by pressing INSERT+V.
Press DOWN ARROW until JAWS says "List Announcement - on."
Press SPACEBAR to turn this option off.
Press ENTER to close the Adjust JAWS Options dialog.
Announcement of lists remains off until you turn it on or quit the program. To
turn announcement of lists back on, follow the steps described above. Pressing
SPACEBAR toggles this option.

To change this option permanently, use the HTML Options Dialog from within
Configuration Manager. For more information, refer to HTML Options Dialog.

Miscellaneous Elements, Attributes, and Features

HTML uses elements to mark text as a certain part of a page. Paragraphs,
lists, headings, tables, even links are elements. Attributes are used to
modify what HTML elements do, to provide more information, or to change how
the element is displayed in a web browser. Alignment, borders, access keys,
alternate text, and title text are all provided with attributes. To learn more
about HTML, visit the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative.

Access keys in HTML

JAWS announces access keys assigned to HTML elements using the HTML
"Accesskey" attribute. Access keys let you move directly to an item such as a
link or form control. Access keys are used within the JAWS help system to
provide quick access to the Back and Next links within most topics, which make
it easy to move through the help system. Press ALT+B to move to the back link,
and press ALT+X to move to the next link. Access keys assigned to links only
move you to the link. For example, after pressing an access key to move to a
link, you must still press ENTER to select it. Access keys assigned to buttons
actually activate them.

If you do not wish to hear access keys within web pages, you can turn this
feature off in the HTML Options dialog within Configuration Manager. The Speak
Access Keys within Web Pages check box is located on the Misc page of the HTML
Options dialog box. Clear this checkbox to turn off this feature. For more
information, refer to the HTML Options Dialog.

Mouse Over Effects

HTML allows the author of a page to set an OnMouseOver attribute for most HTML
elements to run specified code such as JavaScript or Visual Basic Script when
the mouse pointer is moved over the HTML element. Often this is used to
momentarily display text, graphics, or links. JAWS now recognizes the
OnMouseOver attribute, and if it is set to display text or links as part of
the page, JAWS provides access to that information. Press INSERT+CTRL+ENTER to
simulate moving the mouse pointer over the element at the Virtual Cursor
location. If the mouse over event caused some part of the page to change, JAWS
announces the line where the change occurred. To review the new content, you
can press J to perform the Jump To Line command. Enter the number of the line
that changed and press ENTER to move directly to that line. You can press
SHIFT+J at any time to return to your previous location on the page.

By default, JAWS announces when an HTML element has a mouse over effect. If
you want JAWS to ignore the OnMouseOver attribute, do the following:

Press INSERT+F2, select "Configuration Manager," and press ENTER.
From the Set Options menu, choose Speech and Sounds Manager.
In the Select Scheme list, choose "Classic."

Press ALT+E to edit this scheme.
Press CTRL+TAB until you move to the HTML tab, and then use the arrow keys to
select "onmouseover."

Press ALT+I to select the Ignore radio button.
Tip: If you want JAWS to play a sound when you encounter an element with a
mouse over effect, press ALT+P to select the Play Sound radio button. Then,
choose Select Wave File to select a sound.

Choose OK and press ALT+A to save your current settings as a new scheme. Give
the scheme a descriptive name and press ENTER. JAWS will not announce the
OnMouseOver attribute while you are using this scheme.

Click Almost Anything

HTML allows the author of a page to set an OnClick attribute for most HTML
elements to run specified code such as JavaScript or Visual Basic Script when
clicked with the left mouse button. To access these items, move to the item
and press ENTER.

Dynamically Edit HTML Text

The "Contenteditable" HTML attribute is used to make almost any text
dynamically editable. JAWS now supports this attribute, but does not announce
its presence. If the attribute is set to true for an element of text, press
ENTER to enter Forms mode, edit the text, and press NUM PAD PLUS to activate
the Virtual Cursor again.

Macromedia Flash MX

JAWS now reads information from Macromedia Flash animations as easily as any
other part of a web page. Select links, activate buttons, and type within edit
fields just like on any web page. Flash animations are presented as part of
the page, and JAWS announces when you enter and exit the animation. Flash can
also be ignored by JAWS on web pages by checking the checkbox "Ignore Flash on
Web Pages" on the Misc page of the HTML Options dialog box.

Stop Web Pages that Automatically Reload

JAWS announces "Page will refresh in X seconds," when you open a page set to
automatically refresh. Some web pages are configured to automatically refresh,
or reload, every so often. When this happens, JAWS starts over reading from
the top of the page. This makes it very difficult to read these pages. Now,
set JAWS to prevent these pages from reloading. Use the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog, INSERT+V, to set this option temporarily, or change it permanently in
Configuration Manager, HTML Options.

Active Content, web content provided by ActiveX controls, applets, and Flash
animations that support MSAA, can also be set to automatically refresh. You
can also set JAWS to suppress refreshes of active content - temporarily in the
Adjust JAWS Options dialog, and permanently in Configuration Manager, HTML
Options.

Font Information

JAWS now reports font information within web pages when you use the INSERT+F
command. Press INSERT+F twice quickly to open this information in the JAWS
Virtual Viewer.

Quotations

JAWS now notifies you when you enter or exit a quotation that uses the
"blockquote" HTML element. If the HTML "Cite" attribute is used to supply the
Web address source of the quotation, this information is also spoken.

----------
Personalized Web Settings

Personalized web settings allow you to make changes to JAWS that affect only a
specific web site. JAWS remembers these settings and loads them each time you
visit the web site again.

Personalized web settings apply to any page under the domain or subdomain
where you make the changes. For example, if you opened the page
www.freedomscientific.com/fs_news/index.asp and personalized the page, changes
would apply to any page under www.freedomscientific.com. However, if you made
changes somewhere on shopping.yahoo.com, those settings would not apply to a
page such as mail.yahoo.com because the subdomain is different. JAWS informs
you when you open a page which has personalized settings, unless you go to
another page on the same web site.

To create or modify personalized settings for a web page, press SHIFT+INSERT+V
while in an HTML document. This dialog works just like the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog, except that changes made here are saved permanently and do not apply
to other web pages. Press SPACEBAR on any item to cycle between the available
options. When you are finished, press ENTER to save the settings. Select
"Personalized Settings - All Cleared" and press the SPACEBAR to clear all
personalized settings for this web site.

Note: There are several options that are only available in the Personalized
Settings dialog box. For more information on these options, see Changing Line
and Nonlink Text Length.

There may be some situations where these settings do not work, due to the
dynamic nature of the web. For example, if you change a setting using the
regular INSERT+V option, the setting will not be saved in your personal files.
The SHIFT+INSERT+V dialog will show the settings from the personal file. This
dialog always checks for personalized web site settings first, whereas
INSERT+V just displays the settings currently in use.

Remember that the two dialogs can show different settings. SHIFT+INSERT+V
displays the settings for the web site or domain. INSERT+V displays only the
settings currently in use and updates the template of non-personalized
settings stored in memory.

Technical Notes:
All files are named  .jsi, such as: Microsoft.com.jsi The last option in the
Adjust JAWS Options dialog labeled Personal Settings can clear all entries.
These .jsi files are stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\User
Name\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the JAWS version
number)\Settings\Enu folder and can be shared with others.

Sharing Personalized Web Settings

You can use Settings Packager to share your personalized settings for a Web
site with other JAWS users. Settings Packager is a program that lets you save
speech and sound schemes, PlaceMarkers, and personalized Web settings in a
compressed .zip file that you can send in an e-mail message, post on a Web
site, or copy to removable storage media. You can also use Settings Packager
to import the settings contained in these .zip files into JAWS. To start
Settings Packager, press INSERT+F2, select "Settings Packager," and press
ENTER. For more information on using this program, open the Settings Packager
Help menu and choose Help Topics.

Changing Line and Nonlink Text Length

There are four options in the Personalized Settings dialog box that do not
appear in the Adjust JAWS Options (INSERT+V) dialog box.

The Increase and Decrease Line Length options allow you to change the number
of characters that JAWS recognizes as a line of text in the Virtual Buffer.
The default is 150 characters. Select Increase Line Length and press the
SPACEBAR to increment this value, or select Decrease Line Length and press the

----------
PlaceMarkers allow you to quickly and easily navigate to commonly used areas
of your favorite Web pages or HTML documents. You can use PlaceMarkers to jump
between certain areas of a page, mark important sections of an HTML document,
or indicate key form elements. For example, you could use PlaceMarkers to move
to required fields in a complicated form or specific paragraphs in a long HTML
document.

Press K to move to the next PlaceMarker, or press SHIFT+K to move to the prior
PlaceMarker.

Temporary PlaceMarkers are very useful on new web pages. When first exploring
a page , they are a great "breadcrumbs" type navigation aid that allows you to
mark a spot to which you might want to return. Press CTRL+K to set a Temporary
PlaceMarker on a web page.

Note: For Adobe Acrobat Reader and PDF files, use CTRL+SHIFT+K to place a
Temporary PlaceMarker.

Only one Temporary PlaceMarker may be set on each web page, but you can set
additional Temporary PlaceMarkers on other web pages (one per page). If you
move to a location on a web page, set a Temporary PlaceMarker, then decide you
want to move it to another location on the page, just move the Virtual Cursor
to that new location and press CTRL+K again.

The last location where you set a Temporary PlaceMarker is saved until you
move it again, or remove the Temporary PlaceMarker from the PlaceMarkers List
dialog. You can browse to other web pages, exit JAWS, even restart your
computer, and your Temporary PlaceMarkers are preserved.

To read or move to a specific PlaceMarker, press CTRL+SHIFT plus the numbers
1-0 to read, and the same keystroke twice to move to the PlaceMarker. For
example, to read the text at the location of the fifth PlaceMarker, press
CTRL+SHIFT+5. To move to the fifth PlaceMarker, press CTRL+SHIFT+5 twice
quickly.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+K to display a list of all PlaceMarkers on the current page.
This list shows PlaceMarkers assigned to a location on the current page. If
you press ALT+D to select the Domain radio button, you can view all
PlaceMarkers assigned to the current domain. Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to
select a PlaceMarker in the list. Then press SPACEBAR  on the Move To button
or press ALT+M to move the virtual cursor to the PlaceMarker's location on the
page.

URL vs. Domain PlaceMarkers

JAWS lets you assign PlaceMarkers to either the current URL or domain. The URL
(uniform resource locator) is the Web address displayed in the address bar.
You can only use PlaceMarkers assigned to the current URL when you are
visiting that page.

Individual Web pages are contained within a domain. The domain's name is
usually the first portion of the page's Web address and ends with .com, .net,
.org, .gov, .edu, or similar suffix. When you add a domain PlaceMarker to a
Web page, you can use that PlaceMarker on any page within the current domain.
Since many sites use a consistent design for all of their pages, the placement
of links, graphics, buttons, and form fields is often similar. If this is the
case, you can use a single domain PlaceMarker to navigate many other pages on
the site.

For example, if a Web site has a Search box located at the top of each page,
you can put a domain PlaceMarker there named "Search." You can then use this
PlaceMarker to move to the Search box on any page in the domain, regardless of
the URL.

Adding PlaceMarkers

To add a PlaceMarker:

Open a web page or other HTML document.
Move the virtual cursor to the location on the page where you want to put the
PlaceMarker.
Press CTRL+K.
Note: For Adobe Acrobat Reader and PDF files, use CTRL+SHIFT+K to place a
Temporary PlaceMarker.

If you want to use this PlaceMarker only with the current Web page, select the
URL radio button. To use this PlaceMarker for all pages within the current
domain, select the Domain radio button .
Press SPACEBAR on the Add button or press ALT+A.
JAWS suggests a name for the PlaceMarker based on the text present at your
cursor's current location. You can enter a new name if necessary. When you
have finished, press SPACEBAR on the OK button.
Press SPACEBAR on the OK button to add the PlaceMarker to this page.
PlaceMarkers added in this way remain there until you remove them. You can add
a temporary PlaceMarker by pressing CTRL+K.

Note: If the page changes significantly, your PlaceMarkers may no longer be
accurate. If this happens, remove the out-dated PlaceMarkers and add new ones
by following the steps above.

Renaming PlaceMarkers

To change the name of a PlaceMarker:

Open the page containing the PlaceMarker you want to rename.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+K to display a list of PlaceMarkers on this page.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the PlaceMarker.
Press SPACEBAR on the Change Name button or press ALT+C.
Enter a new name for the PlaceMarker and then press SPACEBAR on the OK button.

Removing PlaceMarkers

To remove one or more PlaceMarkers:

Open the page containing the PlaceMarker you want to delete.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+K to display a list of all PlaceMarkers on the current page.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to select a PlaceMarker.
Press SPACEBAR on the Remove button or press ALT+R to delete the PlaceMarker.
Tip: If you want to delete all PlaceMarkers for this page, press SPACEBAR on
the Remove All button or press ALT+L.

Sharing PlaceMarkers

You can use Settings Packager to share your PlaceMarkers for a Web site with
other JAWS users. Settings Packager is a program that lets you save speech and
sound schemes, PlaceMarkers, and personalized Web settings in a compressed
.zip file that you can send in an e-mail message, post on a Web site, or copy
to removable storage media. You can also use Settings Packager to import the
settings contained in these .zip files into JAWS. To start Settings Packager,
press INSERT+F2, select "Settings Packager," and press ENTER. For more
information on using this program, open the Settings Packager Help menu and
choose Help Topics.

To share your PlaceMarkers with other JAWS users without using Settings
Packager:

Press WINDOWS KEY+E to start Windows Explorer.
Go to the drive and folder where you installed JAWS.
Open the C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the JAWS version
number)\Settings\Enu\PlaceMarkers.
PlaceMarker information is stored in .PMI files. Locate the .PMI file with the
same name as the page containing the PlaceMarkers you want to share.
Copy this file and distribute it to other users. These users then need to copy
the .PMI file into the C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application
Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the JAWS version
number)\Settings\Enu\PlaceMarkers folder on their computers. The users can now
navigate that HTML page with your PlaceMarkers.

Custom Page Summary

When you open an HTML page, the Custom Page Summary feature automatically
lists each PlaceMarker on the page and its associated text. This lets you
quickly review the text located near your PlaceMarkers so you can hear any
changes or updates to those areas of the page. To enable or disable this
feature, open the Configuration Manager and choose HTML Options from the Set
Options menu. Move to the Misc tab and then press ALT+C to move to the Custom
Page Summary combo box.

If you do not want JAWS to provide a custom page summary, select Off. Select
Speak Only if you want JAWS to read the name of each PlaceMarker on the
current page as well as the text that appears near the PlaceMarker's location.
If you select Virtualize Information, JAWS displays the PlaceMarker
information for the page in the Virtual Viewer. The Virtual Viewer provides a
link with the name of the PlaceMarker and the text that appears near the
PlaceMarker's location on the page. You can use the arrow keys to move to a
link and then press ENTER to move to that PlaceMarker.

Tip: You can change this setting temporarily by pressing INSERT+V while you
are working in an HTML document (see Internet Explorer Verbosity Settings for
more information). In addition, if you only want to hear PlaceMarker
information for certain HTML pages, you can press INSERT+SHIFT+V to customize
this setting for the current domain (see Personalized Web Settings for more
information).

HTML Tables

Tables are made up of columns and rows with information placed inside table
cells. Tables may be used in one of two ways. Data tables display
relationships between types of information. Layout tables position information
on the page or define the general layout of a page, such as in newspaper
columns. By default, JAWS detects data tables and indicates that a table
contains x number of columns and y number of rows when you enter one. JAWS
also gives you verbal indication when you reach the end of a table. These
settings can be changed in the HTML Options dialog on the Lists and Tables
page.

Reading and Moving within Tables

JAWS provides commands which allow you to move around within tables and from
one table to another as well as get information about the position of table
cells and the structure of tables on a page.

When you move to a table, JAWS announces the number of columns and rows, and
reads the summary, if a summary is available. When you navigate tables using
standard reading commands, JAWS reads the cells in order from left to right
and behaves as if each table cell begins on a new line. JAWS does not identify
table headers or provide information about table structure as you navigate the
table in this manner.

To move to the next table, press T. To move to the previous table, press
SHIFT+T. The Virtual Cursor moves to the contents of the first cell in the
table, and JAWS reads the table summary, if present, and the contents of the
table cell.

Tip: To display a list of all tables on the current page, press CTRL+INSERT+T.
Use the arrow keys to select a table from the list and press ENTER to move to
it.

To jump directly to a cell within the current table, press CTRL+WINDOWS Key+J
(or WINDOWS Key+J if you are using Mozilla Firefox). Enter the column and row
number of the cell you want to move to and press ENTER. To return to your
previous location in the table, press SHIFT+CTRL+J (or SHIFT+WINDOWS Key+J if
you are using Firefox).

To hear information about the current table cell, press ALT+CTRL+NUM PAD 5.
JAWS announces the row and column position, reads the current row and column
headers, and reads the contents of the cell. To read from the beginning of the
row to the current cell, press INSERT+SHIFT+HOME. To read from the current
cell to the end of the row, press INSERT+SHIFT+PAGE UP. Similarly, you can
press INSERT+SHIFT+END to read from the top of the column to the current cell,
or press INSERT+SHIFT+PAGE DOWN to read from the current cell to the bottom of
the column. To read the current column, press INSERT+SHIFT+NUM PAD 5.

When you move to the next or prior cell in the same row using table navigation
commands such as ALT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW, JAWS reads the column header and the
data in the cell and announces the column number.

When you move to the next or prior cell in a column with ALT+CTRL+UP or DOWN
ARROW, JAWS reads the row header and the data in the cell and announces the
row number. If the number of columns changes when you move to a new row with
these commands or the read prior/next row commands, WINDOWS KEY+UP or DOWN
ARROW, JAWS states the number of columns in the new row.

To move to the first cell in the table, press ALT+CTRL+HOME. To move to the
last cell, press ALT+CTRL+END. JAWS reads the contents of the cell, announces
the row and column number, and then reads the row and column headers.

To select an entire table, use F8. For more information, see HTML Elements.

For more information about commands for reading tables, refer to:

JAWS Specific Keystrokes
Navigation Quick Keys

Row and Column Headers

Table headers provide information about the data contained in each column and
row. If table headers are used, JAWS reads them as you move through the table
using table navigation commands such as ALT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW. When you move to
a cell in a new column, JAWS reads the header for that column but does not
read the row header. When you move to a cell in a new row, JAWS reads the row
header but not the column header. The Table Titles setting in the Adjust JAWS
Options dialog allows you to specify that JAWS should ignore column headers,
row headers, or provide no information about table headers.

Note: JAWS does not identify row or column headers when you navigate tables
using standard reading commands with the Virtual Cursor or using Say All.

Table Summary

The table summary provides information about the purpose of the table. If a
summary is provided, JAWS says, "Summary," and reads the summary text.

Table Caption

Table captions provide information about the nature of the table. JAWS reads
the text of captions.

Layout Tables

Obtaining information about layout tables may provide you with a better
understanding of the structure of a page. To specify that JAWS should provide
information about layout tables, set Layout Tables to On in the Adjust JAWS
Options dialog or in the HTML Options Dialog choose All Tables in the Detect
Table Type combo box on the Lists and Tables page.

Nested Tables

A table may be included within a table cell, creating nested tables. JAWS
announces the nesting level of each table.

HTML Tables and Braille

JAWS allows you to determine how much information is displayed on your
refreshable Braille display for tables on web pages. There are many settings
in the Adjust Braille Options dialog, CTRL+INSERT+B, to configure what
information JAWS displays in Braille. Some that you may use frequently
include:

Table Display: Set JAWS to display the current cell, the current row, or the
current column.
Table Title Reading: Set JAWS to display row headers, column headers, both row
and column headers, or turn off display of row and column headers.
Table Show Coordinates: Set JAWS to display table cell coordinates or turn
them off.

displays the name of the frame followed by "frame end." These markings in the
virtual cursor appear on their own lines. For more information about using
frames, refer to HTML Frames.


Inline Frames Show


This option controls whether or not the contents of inline frames are shown in
the virtual cursor. Inline frames are often those which contain banner ads,
but can be used by Web page authors to present information. You may want to
turn this off if a particular Web page has a lot of frame start and end
markings with useless or no content in between. Settings for this option
determine whether the whole content, including start and end marks if
appropriate, is shown or not.


List and Table Options Items

Description


Lists Identify Start and End


This option controls whether or not JAWS identifies lists using start and end
markings in the virtual cursor. When a list is identified this way, you see
the following at its beginning:

list of x items (nesting level y) where x is the number of items in the list
and y is the level deep.

There is not always a nesting level, but only when there is a list within a
list. The end marking is List end, or List End nesting level y. Besides simply
list, you may see definition list, in which each item is an item and its
definition.


Tables Show Start and End


This option controls whether or not JAWS shows start and end markings for
tables in the virtual cursor. The start marking shows as follows:

table with x columns and y rows

where x is the number of columns and y is the number of rows.

The end marking is shown as follows:

table end

If this option is off, you can still use Table navigation commands within
tables, or quick navigation table commands to find tables. For more
information, refer to HTML Tables.


Layout Tables


This option controls whether or not JAWS recognizes tables used exclusively
for formatting purposes. Such tables are often used as navigation bars at the
top, bottom, or side of the Web page. You will still see the buttons within
the navigation bar and they will still be shown one after the other in the
virtual cursor, but you will not see the table start and end marks.


Table Title Announce


This option controls which titles are to be announced as you navigate using
Table commands within tables. As you navigate, only the relevant title is
read. For example, as you move by row, only the row header is announced as it
changes. The same is true when navigating by column. Select 'Off' to have no
titles announced. You can select row, title, or both row and title.


General Options Group

Item
Description

User Verbosity


This option controls the Verbosity, or amount of information, spoken by JAWS.
The level settings are Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. To customize what
JAWS speaks for each level, see the Verbosity Options dialog in Configuration

set to On, JAWS will periodically read the percentages in installations, or
when performing other tasks like copying large files or burning CDs. To
control how often JAWS announces progress bar changes, see the Announce
Progress Bar Updates combo box in the User Options dialog of Configuration
Manager.


Top and Bottom Edge


This option controls whether or not JAWS beeps when it encounters a top or
bottom boundary while you navigate.


Graphics


This option controls which graphics JAWS shows when reading with arrow keys or
when viewing the braille display. All shows all graphics with or without
labels. Those without labels are shown as Graphic followed by the number.
Labeled only shows those graphics with labels, such as the attachment
paperclip in Microsoft Outlook. None shows no graphics at all.


Note that this setting does not apply to images or graphics on Web pages.
These are graphic icon and symbols in Windows.


Screen Echo


This option controls how JAWS responds to text as it is written to the screen.
Set to Off in a window where JAWS is reading over and over. Set to Highlighted
to read list items or other highlights as they change. Set to All when in a
terminal, telnet or command window, or other location where you want to hear
any and all text written to the screen.


Reading Options Group

Item
Description

Smart Word Reading


This option controls how JAWS reads words with punctuation in them, such as
phone numbers. When off, JAWS reads the punctuation symbol under the cursor.
When on, JAWS reads the entire word.


Language Detect Change


This option controls whether or not JAWS detects changes in language within
documents which support language tags. For example, if JAWS finds Spanish text
on a Web page, that text is spoken in Spanish. This detection only affects

You can use NetMeeting to call people at other computers over a local area
network (LAN), over the www.microsoft.com, over a standard telephone line
(using a modem), or over an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line.
If you are calling over a LAN or the www.microsoft.com, you can call by
specifying the www.microsoft.com address, computer name, IP address, or IPX
network number and Ethernet address of the computer you want to call. If you
connect to a User Location Service (ULS) on the www.microsoft.com, you can
also call by specifying the name of a person in the directory maintained by

other people in the meeting to watch you use it, or you can allow other people
in the meeting to use the program by their selves.

The whiteboard feature in NetMeeting allows online meeting participants to
draw pictures and write text that can be used to illustrate an idea. When one
person in a meeting runs Whiteboard, it appears on all screens. Everyone in
the meeting can then draw on the Whiteboard simultaneously and see what other
people are drawing.

The Chat feature allows online meeting participants to send typed messages to
each other. When one person in a meeting runs Chat, it appears on all screens.

The file transfer feature allows you to send a file to all the participants in
a meeting by dragging the file to the NetMeeting window. You can also send a
file to one participant by selecting the participant in the NetMeeting window,
and then selecting Send File on the menu that appears.

Outlook Helpful Hints

The following are some helpful hints for using Outlook with JAWS.

Outlook Reading Pane

When using JAWS, the Outlook Reading Pane must be set to the bottom of the
window or disabled. If the Reading Pane is set to the right, it forces the
Message List Headers into Two-line mode, and only the first line is announced.

To set the Reading Pane to the bottom of the window, or to disable it, do the
following:

Open Outlook.
Press ALT+V to open the View menu.
Choose the Reading Pane sub menu.
Select Bottom to set the pane to the bottom of the window, or select Off to
disable the reading pane.

Outlook Options

While working in Outlook, you can press INSERT+V to change your options.
Select an option with the arrow keys and then press SPACEBAR or use the
Execute button to cycle through the available settings. Press ENTER to accept
your changes and close the dialog box.

For information on the standard JAWS options that are not described in this
section, see Adjust JAWS Options.

Announce Header Fields with Message

If this option is set to "Yes," then JAWS automatically reads the From and
Subject fields when you open a message. If you change this option to "No,"
then JAWS does not automatically read this information.

Announce Frame and Link Count

When opening an HTML message, JAWS gives you a number of frames and links
contained within the message. If you do not want to hear the count, set this
option to "No."

Read Messages Automatically

If you want JAWS to automatically read the message body from beginning to end,
change this option to "Yes." If you do not want JAWS to automatically read the
message body after reading the message header, then leave this option set to
"No."

Tip: When reading messages automatically, the cursor may move faster than JAWS
speech. If you stop speech with CTRL, you should press CTRL+HOME to move to
the beginning of the message before continuing to read.

Auto-Complete Announcement

When you type an e-mail address into the To, CC, or BCC edit boxes, Outlook
searches for matches in your address book and then automatically completes the
entry for you. JAWS will now announce the address that Outlook automatically
inserts into the edit box. To disable this feature, press INSERT+V, select
"Announce Address List Auto-complete," and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off."


Message Attachment Notification

Turn this option on if JAWS is not detecting and announcing the presence of
file attachments when you select a message.

Announce Information Bar Messages

In Outlook, the information bar frequently displays useful status information.
For example, this bar informs you when attachments have been removed from a
message, which account a message will be sent from, when you last replied to
the current message, when the appointment/meeting you are creating conflicts
with an existing appointment, when an appointment time has passed, and so on.
If you want JAWS to automatically announce the contents of the information bar
when reading messages, leave this option set to "Yes."


Read/Unread Message Verbosity

Choose "Say Unread" if you want JAWS to announce, "Unread," when you select a
message that you have not yet opened. If you change this option to "Silent,"
JAWS does not indicate unread messages.

Indicate Meeting Requests

If this option is on, JAWS indicates when the currently selected message is a
meeting request. Turn this option off if you do not want JAWS to indicate
whether a message is a meeting request. This option is only available in
Outlook 2002 or later.

Forwarded Flag Announcement

Turn this option on if JAWS is not indicating messages that you have forwarded
when you select them.

Replied Flag Announcement

Turn this option on if JAWS is not indicating messages that you have replied
to when you select them.

Message Flag Announcement

If this option is on, JAWS announces when the currently selected message has
one of Outlook's message status flags, such as Important, Business, Follow up,
Personal, and so on. Turn this option off if you do not want those flags
announced. This option is only available in Outlook 2002 or later.

Block Quote, Frame, Heading, List, and Table Announcement

You can turn off block quote, frame, heading, list, and table announcement
when reading HTML formatted e-mail messages, just as you can when viewing Web
pages. To change these options, press INSERT+V, select the option you want to
enable or disable, and press the SPACEBAR. For more information about these
options, see HTML Options.

Optimizing Outlook

The following are choices and suggestions for optimizing Outlook options for
use with JAWS:

Calendar

TAB from the Folder List view to Calendar. From the View menu choose the
Current View submenu. Choose from the following list: Day/Week/Month,
Day/Week/Month with Auto Preview, Active Appointments, Events, Annual Events,
and Recurring Appointments, By Category. All of these list views work well
with JAWS.

Note: For best results with the Outlook Calendar, it is suggested that you use
the Windows Classic theme for your system. This can be set through the Display
option in the Windows Control Panel.

In Day/Week/Month view, use LEFT and RIGHT ARROW to move between the days of
the month. Use UP and DOWN ARROW to move between the different time slots for
the current day. Press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to cycle through your appointments for
the current day. To open an appointment, select it and press ENTER.

Tip: If JAWS does not read time slots or appointments in Day/Week/Month view,
press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Z.

Contacts

TAB from the Folder List view to Contacts. From the View menu choose the
current view submenu. Choose from the following list: Address Cards, Detailed
Address Cards, Phone List, By Category, By Company, By Location, and By Follow
Up Flag. All of these views work with JAWS.

Journal

TAB from the Folder List view to Journal. From the View menu choose the
Current View submenu. For best results, use one of the following lists with
JAWS: Entry List, Next 7 Days, and Phone List. List items By Type, By Contact,
and By Category can be used, but are not recommended.

Notes

TAB from the Folder List view to Notes. From the View menu choose the Current
View submenu. Choose one of the following lists: Notes List, Last Seven Days,
By Category, or By Color. Icon view can be used with some trial and error.

Tasks

TAB from the Folder List view to Tasks. From the View menu choose the Current
View submenu. Choose from the following list: Simple List, Detailed List,
Active Tasks, Next Seven Days, Overdue Tasks, By Category, Assignment, By
Person Responsible, Completed Tasks. List item Task Time Line can be used with
some trial and error.

Note: Turn Preview Pane and AutoPreview OFF for best results. To turn OFF the
Preview Pane, go to the View menu and press the DOWN ARROW key to move to the
Preview Pane choice and press ENTER on the option to toggle the check mark
OFF. To turn off the AutoPreview feature, do the same, but choose AutoPreview
instead of Preview Pane.

Reading MSAA Information

If you find that the selected item is abbreviated or not read completely by
JAWS, press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+M to read the MSAA (Microsoft Active Accessibility)
information for that item. MSAA provides more details to JAWS, so it can read
all the information available.

Visual Basic for Applications

JAWS only partially supports Visual Basic for Applications when launched from
within Outlook.

Replying Directly to Senders on Mailing Lists

Users that subscribe to mailing lists have the ability to reply directly to
the message sender's address, rather than the mailing list address, by using
the Reply Directly To Sender command, INSERT+SHIFT+R.

After installing Outlook Express, it is recommended that you specify your
Inbox as the starting location of Outlook Express. To do this, open the
Options dialog under the Tools menu. Move to the General page and check the
box that reads, "When starting, go directly to my Inbox folder." For optimal
functionality with JAWS, it will be necessary for the toolbar to be enabled.
To do this, make sure that the Toolbar menu item is checked under the View
menu. Text labels for the Toolbar also need to be turned on. Go to the Layout
dialog under the View menu. Check the box that reads Show Text on toolbar
buttons.

You can also disable the preview pane in this dialog if desired. The Preview
pane is used to view messages automatically as you move up and down the
message list. Uncheck Use preview pane to disable this feature. If you want to
leave the preview pane enabled, but do not want messages to be marked as read

dialog under the Tools menu. Press CTRL+TAB to the Read page and turn OFF the
Message Is Read After Being Previewed check box.

PowerPoint is a presentation package that allows you to create overheads,
slide shows, and presentations. While PowerPoint is a visual presentation
tool, JAWS commands make it possible to easily run presentations, create
slides, and other documents such as organizational charts.

Due to the nature of PowerPoint, JAWS will often tell you information that is
not actually displayed on the screen but which describes graphical concepts or
animation effects that are apparent to the sighted user. Where possible,
descriptive information uses the same language that is in the PowerPoint
documentation. For example: the box on a slide where a title is entered is
called a Title Placeholder. JAWS will announce this Placeholder even though
there is no text on the screen that says the words, "Title Placeholder."
Please visit http://www.microsoft.com for more information on PowerPoint.

The PowerPoint window has the usual Title bar, Menu bar, Standard and
Formatting toolbars and Status bar that nearly all Windows applications have,
and many of the features on the toolbars are very similar to those of
Microsoft Word.

The main PowerPoint screen, which is called the "Normal View," is divided into
three panes, each pane serving a different function. This lets the user switch
between a variety of tasks quickly and easily. The first pane is called "Slide
View" and shows the current slide. The next pane, called "Notes Page View,"
provides space for the user to add any personal notes that refer to the slide
currently being shown. The last pane, called "Outline View", shows the text
that appears in the current slide. As text is added directly into the slide,
it automatically appears in the outline view. Alternatively, any changes made
to the text in the outline view are automatically reflected in the slide view.
Pressing the function key F6 moves us between each of these three sections in
turn until we have wrapped around to the beginning again.

Levels of Navigation in PowerPoint

In Normal view in PowerPoint, there are two levels of navigation. The first
level is identified by JAWS as the Object Level and means that you can
navigate between the objects on the slide using the TAB or SHIFT+TAB key. At
the Object Level, JAWS will tell you about the whole object selected. To
repeat the selected objects description, use the INSERT+TAB key combination.

The second navigational level is called the Edit Level. Once you navigate to
an object on a slide in either Normal or Slide view and press ENTER, you are
at the Edit Level. At this level you are free to edit the text associated with
the selected object. Navigation is then restricted to the text within the
selected object.

Note: When using larger font sizes, JAWS may only inconsistently report
information at the insertion point. To correct this, adjust the zoom settings
under the View menu to 75% or 50%. This only happens at the edit level; it
does not occur at the object level.

Navigating with Placeholders

The first thing a new JAWS and PowerPoint user will notice is that JAWS
attempts to describe each object as you Tab to it at the object level. Because
there are many kinds of objects, the JAWS vocabulary has been extended to
include many new types of objects. For example: when you Tab to the spot on
the slide where a title is supposed to be entered, JAWS will describe this as
a Title Placeholder. The terms that JAWS uses are taken from the PowerPoint
documentation, so familiarity with these terms is useful. In general, the term
that JAWS uses to describe a place on the slide, aside from a particular
object type, is called a Placeholder.

JAWS will also describe other concepts such as the Entry Effect or Animation
Text for slides and objects. These terms are further described in the
PowerPoint documentation.

To move to the next Placeholder, press CTRL+ENTER
Note:When the last Placeholder on a slide is selected, press CTRL+ENTER to
insert a new slide in the presentation.

To repeat the last Find action press SHIFT+F4
All AutoShape and Placeholder objects are described (and shown on the Braille
display) by JAWS. JAWS recognizes over 200 objects used in creating
presentations. JAWS will also read text associated with any shape even if it
is scrolling, sideways, rotated, etc.

Working in Outline View

To hear the levels in the Outline view use INSERT+TAB or ALT+SHIFT+LEFT OR
RIGHT ARROW. To promote or demote the level use TAB and SHIFT+TAB. If the PC
Cursor is active you can use ALT+SHIFT+LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. When using
INSERT+F, JAWS now reports the paragraph level as part of the description of
the text.

Outline View and Powerpoint XP

In Powerpoint XP, maximize the Powerpoint window, ALT+SPACEBAR, X, and
maximize Powerpoint child windows, ALT+MINUS, X, and cascade the Powerpoint
child windows to ensure JAWS reads all information in the Outline View window.
The option to cascade the Powerpoint child windows is located in the Windows
menu.

If you move away from the Powerpoint application window with ALT+TAB, when you
return to it, the Powerpoint child windows are no longer maximized. Press
ALT+MINUS, X to again maximize each of the Powerpoint child windows.

JAWS and OLE Objects

JAWS will recognize the following embedded OLE (Object Linking and Embedding)
objects when inserted into a slide:

Excel Worksheet
Excel Chart
MS Graph Chart
Paint Picture
MS Clipart
Word Document / Tables
PowerPoint Presentation and Slide
If you bring any of the above objects into focus from the top level by
pressing TAB to move to them and pressing ENTER, you can get back to the top
level by pressing ESC+COMMA at which point you will be able to TAB to other
objects on the slide.

If JAWS does not know what kind of embedded object is on the slide, it will
tell you its name and if it does not have one, it will tell you which
application was used to create the object.

Verbosity Items to Note

JAWS will now remember your Verbosity settings for all PowerPoint specific
Verbosity settings across sessions.

Alert When Text Placeholder Overflow Occurs

JAWS feature, Text Overflow Detection, will tell you when too much information
is in a placeholder. Press INSERT+F1 to hear this information, if you do not
have this verbosity item turned on. JAWS will also tell you the approximate
number of lines that are left based on the last font size used. This feature
is turned on by default.

Alert When Objects Overlap

Object Overlap Detection is similar to Text Overflow Detection, but tells you
when objects on the slide overlap. This item is also on by default.

Announce Slide Transitions

JAWS announces transitions effects when you press PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN during
a slide show. To disable this feature, press INSERT+V while in PowerPoint,
select "Announce Slide Transistions," and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off."
When you are not viewing an active slide show, transitions effects are always
announced.

Describe Objects

JAWS provides a detailed description of objects in your presentation when it
is not being viewed as an active slide show and you press PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN
to move to the previous/next slide. If you do not want to hear these
descriptions, press INSERT+V while in PowerPoint, select "Describe Objects,"
and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off."

Slideshow Mode

JAWS uses the virtual cursor to navigate the slide show after you press F5. If
you are on a bullet point and press either a routing button on the braille
display or you press NUM PAD SLASH to press the left mouse button the visible
pointer is routed to the end of the current bullet point. You may then use
INSERT+F to report font information for that bullet point.

Speakers Notes

While you are in the Slide Show mode, you may read the Speaker's Notes. To
toggle between the Slide Show and the Speaker's Notes, press CTRL+SHIFT+N.
When you move between the Slide Show and the Speaker's Notes, the position of
the virtual cursor is not retained.

Embedded Excel and MS Graph Charts

JAWS now reads embedded Excel and MS Graph charts. To navigate a chart, press
the TAB key to move to the chart at the Object Level in the Slide View and
press ENTER on the chart. To return to the Object level press ESC. Press
INSERT+F1 to hear information about the chart element being read.

Project Helpful Hints

General Navigation Information


Selecting Cells


Verbosity Items


Working With Outlines


Braille Support


Even though Microsoft Project is a graphically based interface, JAWS provides
the necessary information quickly and efficiently. This should help the user
who is dependant on a screen reader to be efficient in project management.

JAWS will read all views of Microsoft Project, except the Resource Graph View.

There are three types of views that are available:

Charts and Graphs,
Sheets, and
Forms
You can find more information on any of these views in the Microsoft Project
Help files.

General Navigation Information

The default view is the Gantt Chart View. The Gantt Chart combines a chart of
tasks and a graphical timeline. The columns and rows of the Chart section can
be navigated using the ARROW KEYS and TAB/SHIFT+TAB. You can edit an entry by
typing when it has focus, or by pressing F2 or ALT+DOWN ARROW for a list of
options for the field (where available).

As you move from row to row, you will hear JAWS tell you the row ID, for
example task 3 or resource 4.

For more information on navigating within tables see Using JAWS to Navigate
Tables.

To switch panes in combination views, press F6. This will move between the top
and bottom panes, and JAWS will report the active pane.

Selecting Cells

JAWS supports the three selection modes implemented by Microsoft Project:

Extended Selection (use F8) allows you to navigate around and automatically
add consecutive cells to the selection. Use F8 to toggle this off.
You can press SHIFT+F8 to add the current cell to the selection (when
selecting non-contiguous cells).
You can use all the standard selection keystrokes such as SHIFT+LEFT or RIGHT
ARROW, etc.
JAWS will report the cells being selected and you can get confirmation by
using the standard SaySelectedText command SHIFT+INSERT+DOWNARROW.

Verbosity Items

As you move between tasks and resources, JAWS will announce pertinent
information about the selected task or resource that may not be displayed on
the screen. The following Verbosity options have been developed to control how
much of this information you hear.

Selection Verbosity  adjusts whether you hear all selected fields or only the
first and last fields in the selection when SHIFT+INSERT+DOWNARROW is pressed.
The default setting is to hear all selected fields.

Verbosity Items Relating to Tasks and Resources

The following are turned on by default.

Status Information  Speaks information about the task or resource that is
indicated graphically such as the tasks priority, whether the task is marked,
is a mile stone, is a summary task, is on the critical path, percent work
complete, or (if a task or a resource) has a response pending.

Task Outline Level  Alerts you when moving between tasks at different outline
levels. Outline levels show whether a task is subordinate to another task,
i.e. a subtask.

Notes Indicator  Alerts you when you move on to a task or resource for which
there are notes.

Task Dependency Count  Automatically announces the current tasks number of
predecessors (tasks on which this task depends) and successors (tasks which
depend on this task) as you move from task to task.

Working with Outlines

You can promote and demote a task in task views using the standard Microsoft
Office keystrokes ALT+SHIFT+LEFTorRIGHTARROW. If the PC Cursor is active then
the selected task will be promoted or demoted as expected, however if the JAWS
cursor is active, then the default JAWS function of moving by the default
mouse pixel value will be performed.

Braille Support

JAWS gives similar feedback in Braille to what is spoken as you navigate a
task or resource table. As you move from task to task, the task ID, level,
current cell name and value and status information are displayed in Structured
Mode. The following Braille symbols indicate graphical information:

brlTaskLevel="l",
brlMarked="x",
brlCritical="c",
brlPredecessors="<",
brlSuccessors=">",
brlMilestone="m",
brlSummary="s",
brlPercentComplete="

JAWS commands to navigate text.

JAWS also features three speech and sound schemes that you can use to make
working with Visual Studio .NET easier: Visual Studio .Net, Visual Studio .Net
(Indent), and Visual Studio .Net (Colors). You can select one of these schemes
by pressing ALT+INSERT+S. In the Visual Studio .Net scheme, all announcements
of indentation and colors is turned off. Indentation indication is enabled in
the Visual Studio .Net (indent) scheme so that JAWS announces the number of
spaces a line is indented when you move to it with the UP and DOWN ARROW keys.
The Visual Studio .Net (Colors) scheme announces keywords - represented by
blue text on a white background - when you encounter them in the code.

Tip: For more information on speech and sound schemes, see Speech and Sounds
Manager and Voice Alias Overview.

Windows Live Messenger Helpful Hints

There are two ways to launch Windows Live Messenger. You can start the program
from the System Tray, or from the Start menu. If you start Windows Live
Messenger from the Start menu, after the program launches, you may need to
select Sign In from either the Sign In screen or the File menu to begin
sending message threads.

To start Windows Live Messenger from the System Tray, press INSERT+F11 to
display the applications currently running. Use the arrow keys to move to
Windows Live Messenger Service. Press the TAB key to move to the Right Single
Click button and then press ENTER. Next a context menu is displayed. Press UP
or DOWN ARROW to move to Open, and press ENTER to open the Windows Live
Messenger Service application window. If you are not signed on, you must
select Sign On either from the Sign In screen, or from the File menu.

Once you have signed on, use ALT+A to open the Action menu. From within the
Action menu, you can choose to send an instant message thread, or perform
other actions with Windows Live Messenger.

Reading Messages

When the conversation window is open, JAWS automatically reads incoming
message threads. JAWS also provides commands that allow you to review previous
message threads. Press ALT+1 through 0 to read the ten most recent message
threads (ALT+1 reads the most recent thread). Press the keystroke twice to
display the message thread text in the JAWS Virtual Viewer. This command is
useful when you want to copy to the Clipboard an e-mail address, phone number,
Web site URL, or other piece of information that someone has sent to you.

For more information about these commands, refer to JAWS Commands for Windows
Live Instant Messenger.

Windows Live Messenger Notifications

Windows Live Messenger displays notification message threads to indicate when
a contact has signed on and to inform you when a new Hot Mail e-mail message
thread has been received.

JAWS reads these notifications when they appear, even if you are working in
another application. To hear the name of the contact who signed in most
recently, press CTRL+SCROLL LOCK+F12. JAWS says the name of the contact
followed by the time the contact signed in.

If you are working in another window, Windows Live Messenger plays a sound to
alert you that someone is sending you an instant message. To switch to this
"urgent conversation," press WINDOWS Key+0. You are moved to a button for that
conversation's minimized window. Press the SPACEBAR to open the window, and
JAWS reads the most recent message in the conversation window.

Typing Notification

A clicking sound is heard while the contact is typing. To toggle this sound,
press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog, and enable the Typing
Sounder option. JAWS can also announce when the contact is typing a message
thread. You can toggle this setting in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog as well.

Tip: You can press CTRL+SHIFT+S to check the incoming status.

Conversation Hot Keys

Conversation hot keys allow you to move quickly to a conversation window from
any other open window, including the windows for other programs. To assign a
conversation to a hot key, press CTRL+WINDOWS Key+1 through 5. To move to a
conversation which has been assigned, press WINDOWS Key+1 through 5.

Emoticons

Emoticons are combinations of characters that resemble graphics when rotated.
JAWS provides a list of common emoticons for use with Windows Live Messenger.
JAWS also uses this list to interpret emoticons in the Message Thread window
and reads them as part of the incoming message thread.

To open the list of emoticons, press CTRL+SHIFT+M. To move through the list,
press UP or DOWN ARROW. To insert the selected emoticon into your
conversation, press ENTER. To select from a Messenger-provided list of
emoticons, use ALT+M to activate that menu.

Windows Live Messenger Dictionary

The Windows Live Messenger dictionary file contains definitions for a number
of abbreviations commonly used during online conversations. When you encounter
these abbreviations, JAWS reads the corresponding definition instead. For
example, if you read the abbreviation "LOL," JAWS says, "Laugh out loud."
Other abbreviations that JAWS recognizes include IMO (in my opinion), BRB (be
right back), BTW (by the way), HTH (hope this helps), and many more.

Windows Live Messenger Options

Press INSERT+V while in Windows Live Messenger to access the following
verbosity options. Use the arrow keys to select the option you want to change
and then press the SPACEBAR to cycle through the available choices.

Creating Accessible Forms in Word

To layout and build your form using Word, use the Forms Toolbar. Follow these
steps to access the Forms Toolbar:

Press ALT+V to go to the View Menu.
Press T to open the Toolbar Submenu.
Use DOWN ARROW to move to the Forms Toolbar.
Press ENTER to display this toolbar in your Word application window.
The Forms Toolbar has 9 buttons. The first three are your form field buttons:
Edit Box, Check Box, and combo box (also referred to as a drop down list or
menu). The fourth button is your Properties button. The next four buttons are
used to layout your form: Draw Table, Insert Table, Insert Frame, and Form
Field Shading. The last button is the Protect Form button, which is used to
lock your form.

Note: If you are using Word XP, there is 1 additional button used to reset the
form fields.

Types of Form Fields

Edit Box: Insert a fill-in field where users enter text. You can specify a
default entry so that the user does not have to type an entry except to change
the response.

Check Box: Insert a check box next to an independent option that you select or
clear. Also, you can insert a check box next to each item in a group of
choices that are not mutually exclusive - that is, you can select more than
one.

Combo Box: Insert a drop down list box that restricts available choices to
those you specify. If needed, a user can scroll through the list to view
additional choices.

Adding Fields

Place your insertion point in the area of the document where you want a field.
Press ALT to activate the Menu Bar.
Press CTRL+TAB to navigate to the Forms Toolbar.
Press TAB to navigate the buttons on the Toolbar.
Press ENTER to place the selected type of field in the document.
After adding and configuring all form fields, you must return to the Forms
toolbar, move to the Protect Form button, and press ENTER. If you do not do
this, JAWS will not be able to read your form.

Accessible Form Design

In general, a simple form design is the best guideline for successful reading
of protected forms. When designing the lay out, consider the information with
regard to the flow of your form. A simple form arranges information either
vertically or horizontally, whereas a complex form arranges information both
horizontally and vertically and frequently uses tables.

Use fonts JAWS can read easily. Typically this means san serif fonts between 8
and 32 points.

Form Field Prompt Information

Prompt information is essential information about each form field
automatically read as you TAB through the fields. JAWS reads three types of
prompt information for forms, text labels, default text, and status bar help
text.

Text Labels

If you are using text labels as prompts for fields, format the text label and
prompt terminator to the left of or directly above the field. Do not use
spaces between the last letter in the label, the prompt terminator, and the
form field. This includes formatting text labels and fields within cells of a
table. Always keep the text label in the same table cell as the form field. A
colon or question mark can be used to terminate prompt labels.

Use short, one line text labels because JAWS only reads text on the line that
has the form field. If your text label must span more than one line, consider
using default text or status bar help text instead.

Default Text

Default text is the default value for the control. When you TAB to the
control, the default text is read. As you type or select a new value, your
response replaces the default text. This could cause confusion if the default
text is the only prompt information read by JAWS, but otherwise is very
helpful. When INSERT+F5 is pressed to list all form fields in a document, the
value of each field is also reported in the list.

To insert default text in form fields, navigate to the Forms Toolbar and
select the Properties button. Type your help text in the default text edit
box.

Status Bar Help Text

Status bar help text is text that appears on Word's status bar. Status bar
help text is not replaced when you type or select a new value in a control.
Status bar help text is read each time you TAB to a control and can be
reviewed with the Read Bottom Line of Window command, INSERT+PAGE DOWN. Status
bar help text is the most reliable method for providing prompt information.

To insert status bar help text in form fields, navigate to the Forms Toolbar
and select the Properties button. Press ALT+T to open the Form Field Help Text
dialog. On the Status Bar page of this dialog, press TAB to move to the group
of radio buttons, None, Auto text, and Custom. Rather than using the arrow
keys to select a radio button choice, press TAB once to select Auto text. You
are move to a combo box from which you can choose the auto text entry to use.
Press TAB again to select the Custom radio button. You are placed in an edit
field where you can type the text to appear on the status bar.

Tip: You can also add F1 help from the Help text dialog. Just select the F1
Help page of the dialog and follow the same directions as above.

Word 97 Limitations

Prompts for Text Input form fields are spoken in Word 97 only if the prompt
appears on the status line, or is immediately to the left (terminated by a
colon or question mark) or is above the text input form field. prompts for
other form fields are not spoken, and cannot be activated with the PC Cursor.

Protected Forms

Protected Word Forms

A form is a structured document with fields reserved for entering information.
When a document has its Protection Status set to Allow only form fields,
navigation is restricted to each field. Protecting a form allows you to fill
in the form, but prevents you from changing the form's layout and its
elements. Form fields in Microsoft Word include edit boxes, check boxes, and
combo boxes.

With certain guidelines followed, JAWS 3.7 or later is capable of reading
protected forms in Microsoft Word. Refer to Creating Accessible Forms in Word.

In order for JAWS to detect form fields, the Fields option must be enabled in
the Adjust JAWS Options dialog. This feature is enabled by default. However,
if you have turned this option off, JAWS automatically turns it back on when
you open a document that contains protected form fields.

Follow these steps to manually disable or enable field detection:

Press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog.
Use DOWN ARROW to move to the Fields option.
Press the SPACEBAR until you select the desired setting.
Press ENTER to exit this dialog.
Within protected forms, JAWS reads form field text labels that use prompt
terminators (i.e. colon or question mark), default form field values, and form
field help text. Text labels and help text are descriptive text that tells you
what response is expected in the corresponding field. Default values are often
assigned to form fields to provide this same information. Any text not
associated with a field can be read using the JAWS or Invisible cursor.

Tip: If no label is associated with the field or you would like to assign the
field a different label, you can create a custom label for the field.

Navigating Forms

Use TAB to navigate through a form. Generally, TAB moves left to right, unless
you are in a table cell with multiple fields in it. In this case, pressing TAB
moves down the cell, then moves right to the next cell. Press SHIFT+TAB to
move through the form fields in reverse order.

Press CTRL+INSERT+HOME to move to the first field in a form. Press ALT+SHIFT+F
to list all form fields in the document.

Press SPACEBAR to check or clear a check box. Press ENTER to open a combo box,
use the ARROW keys to navigate the menu, and then press ENTER again to make
your selection.

Creating Custom Labels

You can assign a custom label to any form field in a Word document. JAWS
announces this label when you move to or read the form field. The custom label
replaces the label assigned to the form field by the author (if any). To
assign a custom label to an element or change a custom label already assigned
to an element, do the following:

Use the TAB key to move to the form field you want to label.
Press INSERT+F2, select "Custom Label," and press ENTER.
Tip: You can also press CTRL+INSERT+TAB to create a custom label for the form
field.

Type the text you want to use for the label and press ENTER.
JAWS saves custom labels saved in the document's .jsi file in the
Settings\Enu\Personalized Settings folder. These labels are available each
time you access the document.

If you want to hear the original labels for form fields in your document, you
can temporarily hide your custom labels. Press INSERT+V, select "Use Custom
Labels," and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off." The next time you move to a
form field with a custom label, JAWS reads the original label instead (if one
is available).

To permanently delete a custom label, move to the form field with the label
you want to delete and press INSERT+F2. Select "Custom Label Delete" and press
ENTER to delete the label. If you want to delete all custom labels in the
document, press INSERT+F2, select "Custom Label Delete All" and press ENTER.

----------
Language Detection in Word

As you navigate or read text in a document containing multiple languages, and
if you are using Eloquence, JAWS automatically switches languages
appropriately. If you are not using Eloquence, the synthesizer in use still
alerts you to the language change by speaking the language name in the Message
Voice before the text in that language. Say Line, Say Sentence and Say
Paragraph all honor Language detection and switching. We recommend you have
all Word language modules that you intend to use installed before using this
feature.

Note: If your system does not have Word language files installed, you are
prompted to put the Word CD in the drive. Once you have installed the language
files, you do not receive this prompt again.

In order to use Language Detection, complete the following steps:

Select text of a specific language in the document.
Open the Tools Menu and move to Language, Set Language.
Select the correct language and check the Detect Language Automatically check
box.
You can also select the check box that says Do not check spelling or grammar.
Select the OK button.
Repeat these steps for each section of text in a different language from the
default document language.
The language detection option within the Adjust JAWS Options dialog is off by
default. To enable this option, Press INSERT+V, move to Language Detection,
and press SPACEBAR.

Note: All languages supported by the Eloquence software synthesizer are
installed by default. If the language support is not installed, or is not
supported, JAWS cannot switch you to that language.

Miscellaneous Word Helpful Hints

If your standard and formatting toolbars share one row, and you go to the more
buttons button, then select the button for Insert Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet,
when you press ESC to leave this item, JAWS will not report your current
focus. Use INSERT+UP ARROW to confirm focus.

When using larger font sizes, JAWS may only inconsistently report information
at the insertion point. To correct this, adjust the zoom settings under the
View menu to 75% or 50%.

Listing Headings

You can press INSERT+F6 to display a list of all headings in the current
document. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select a heading and then press
ENTER to move to that heading's location in the document.

Disabling Reading Layout View (Word 2003 Only)

By default, Word 2003 opens documents sent as e-mail attachments in Reading
Layout view. JAWS does not support this view. To switch to Normal view, press
ESC.

You can do the following to have Word open e-mail attachments in Normal view
instead of Reading Layout view:

From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Press CTRL+TAB until you switch to the General tab in the Options dialog box.
Move to and clear the Allow Starting in Reading Layout check box.
Press ENTER to close the Options dialog box and return to the document.
The next time you open a Word attachment, it opens in Normal view.

Easily Apply Autotext Entries

JAWS now provides easy access to Word Autotext entries. Autotext entries are
commonly used words and phrases stored in Word. When you type the first few
characters of an entry, Word displays a screen tip containing the entire
matching Autotext entry. Pressing ENTER inserts the word or phrase into your
document.

JAWS can be set to announce these Autotext screen tips so you can take full
advantage of the Word Autotext feature. To enable announcement of these screen
tips, you must enable speaking of tooltips in Configuration manager, Verbosity
Options:
From within Word, press INSERT+F2 to open the Run JAWS Manager dialog.
Select Configuration Manager and press ENTER.
Press ALT+S, V to open Verbosity options.
TAB to the verbosity preferences button matching the level of verbosity you
are using, such as Beginner Preferences.
Press T to move to Tooltip and press SPACEBAR to check it.
Press ENTER, TAB to OK and press ENTER, and then press CTRL+S to save your
changes.
When you close Configuration Manager and return to Word, type the first four
characters of one of the months, such as "Augu" and JAWS will announce,
"August." Press ENTER and the entire month name is inserted into your
document.

More Feedback with Word Commands

JAWS now provides more feedback when you use Word keyboard commands to change
formatting. When you press CTRL+SHIFT+COMMA or CTRL+SHIFT+PERIOD to decrease
or increase the font point size, JAWS announces the new point size. When you
press CTRL+LEFT or RIGHT BRACKET to decrease or increase the font size by one
point, JAWS also announces the new point size.

Word Capitalization Toggle

JAWS provides feedback when you use the Word SHIFT+F3 command to toggle
capitalization of selected text between lower case, initial cap, title cap,
and all uppercase. Each time the command is pressed, JAWS spells the selected
text.

Position Information

Position Information is a Verbosity Option set in the JAWS Configuration
Manager. At the Advanced level, it is typically turned off. For Word, this
setting is turned on. Position Information is useful when working in tables.
When your cursor moves to a new row or column you are informed. To turn this
feature off, activate the JAWS Configuration Manager while working in Word.
Select Verbosity Options from the Set Options menu. Press the TAB key to move
to the Advanced Preferences button. Press ENTER on that button, and you can
check or uncheck any of these checkboxes, including the one for Position
Information.

Word and Document Views

JAWS announces the current document view in Microsoft Word. JAWS may provide
slightly different information in some views, and provides additional
functionality in Outline view, so it helps to know which is the current view.
To switch the document view, press ALT+V, move to the view you want to use,
and press ENTER.

Protected Word Documents

JAWS provides support for protected Word documents, based on the level of
protection applied.

If the document protection is allow revision only, all of the JAWS features
are available.

If the document protection is allow comments only, you can read by word,
sentence, or paragraph. The JAWS verbosity items: Language, Title Reading, Set
Title Row, Set Title Column, and Clear Title Definition are not available and
do not appear in the JAWS Verbosity dialog. The Tables option, which allows
the detection of tables, is still available and functional. The contents of
the current table cell, along with column and row coordinates are spoken when
navigating a table.

When form field protection is applied, the only navigable portion of the
document is that portion which can be edited or is unprotected--the fields to
be completed.

Templates

Templates allow for easier creation of documents with specific formats, such
as faxes or letters. Some templates consist of several fields. For example, a
letter template may have a return address field, a date field, a send to
address field, and a body field.

To move between these fields, press F11 and SHIFT+F11. These commands are
similar to TAB and SHIFT+TAB in Internet Explorer. However, some templates
contain text between fields which may give useful instructions. To read this
text, use the arrow keys to explore the entire template before filling out the
fields.

Information Messages

Some Word dialog box options have an information message associated with them.
If an option has an information message, a small information balloon icon
appears next to it. Use TAB or SHIFT+TAB to select the information balloon and
hear its title. To read the message, press SPACEBAR.

Other Features:

More effective searches in document text can be achieved with JAWS using Find
Next, because JAWS reads the next occurrence in context.

List Hyperlinks: To list all hyperlinks in the current document and navigate
to the selected target document, press INSERT+F7.

Enhanced Format Information: INSERT+F now you much more about the formatting
of the text at the cursor. Learn both character and paragraph level format
attributes. Extra information includes line spacing, list information, indent
levels, and font color if different from the default. You can also use
INSERT+5 for font color and table information. If you press INSERT+F twice
quickly, only insertion point formatting and font information are spoken.

INSERT+V and move to Font in Virtual Viewer. Press SPACEBAR to toggle this
setting. Press ENTER to exit the Adjust JAWS Options dialog.

Note: If you select text and press INSERT+F, JAWS may report "mixed font," or
"Mixed point size." This indicates that the selected text includes text with
different fonts or point sizes.

Switch Document Panes: The Word keystroke F6 has always been available to
switch document panes when a window is split into more than one pane. Now JAWS
alerts you to which pane you are switching.

Selection Mode: F8 is used to turn Extended Selection mode on. Subsequent
presses of F8 select the current word, sentence, paragraph and document. JAWS
announces the unit being selected and the text of that unit. Other
navigational keys can also be used to extend the selection. Use ESC to exit
Extended Selection Mode.

Navigation Quick Keys in Word

Navigation Quick Keys for Word provide you with an easy and efficient way to
move through a document. You can quickly move the insertion point to a number
of different page elements, including headings, tables, form fields, pages,
sections, and more, with a simple keystroke. Navigation Quick Keys are
automatically enabled while you are reading with the Say All command. If you
want to use this feature when not performing the Say All command, do the
following:

Note: In a protected Word form, the only quick keys available are P (page),
and S (section). All others are disabled.

In Word, press INSERT+V, select "Navigation Quick Keys," and press the
SPACEBAR to choose "Quick Keys On." Alternatively, you can press INSERT+Z.
Use the keystrokes in the Word Navigation Quick Keys table to move the
insertion point to the next or previous element of the given type. JAWS says,
"No more found," if there are no further elements of the given type or you
have reached the end of the document.

While Navigation Quick Keys are enabled, you cannot type text into the
document. In addition, you can only use the TAB, HOME, END, CTRL+HOME, and
CTRL+END keys to move to the next form field or table cell. To determine if
Navigation Quick Keys are enabled, press ALT+DELETE.
To turn off Navigation Quick Keys again, press ENTER. JAWS also turns off
Navigation Quick Keys if you switch to another document or program.

Using Navigation Quick Keys During Say All

When you use the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW), Navigation Quick Keys
are automatically enabled while JAWS is reading. You can use the Navigation
Quick Keys to skip ahead or move backward through the document by heading,
page, form field, bookmark, and so on. You can press CTRL to stop speech
normally. Alternatively, you can press ENTER to stop the Say All and turn on
Navigation Quick Keys.

Outline View in Word

Outline View In Word

Word's Outline View makes it easy to view and reorganize large documents.
Outline View is most effective When a document is structured logically, using
headings hierarchically. Headings are used as titles of sections and
subsections of documents. Outline View lets you display only the headings in
your document, and to select the heading levels that are displayed. For
example, in Outline View, press ALT+SHIFT+3 to display all headings at levels
3, 2, and 1.

To switch to Outline View in Word, press ALT+V to open the View menu, and
press O for Outline View.

Show Headings at Level

To display headings to a specific level, press ALT+SHIFT plus the number, 1
through 7, of the heading level you want to display. Once you have located the
heading you need, press ALT+SHIFT+A to display all headings and all text in
the document.

This is a great way to move through your document. Just select to display
headings to the level you need, move to the heading for the section you need
to edit, then press ALT+SHIFT+A to switch back to displaying all headings and
the text of the document sections. After making changes, switch back to
viewing only the headings you need, and move to the next section you wish to
edit.

Restructuring and Reorganizing in Outline View

Outline View makes it easy to view the document structure as a whole,
restructure it, and reorganize it.

The document structure displayed in Outline View is based on Word paragraph
styles, set under Format, Styles, or set with Word shortcut keys. Refer to
Word help for more information on Word styles.

Press ALT+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW to change to the prior heading level. Press
ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW to change to the next heading level. What you are
changing is the style assigned to the text of your section or subsection
title. For example, if the insertion point is on text that uses the style
Heading 3, and you press ALT+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW the style is changed to Heading
2.

Tip: These commands also work to switch text to prior and next heading styles
when in other Views.

It is very easy to reorganize your document while in Outline View. Select to
display only the headings to the level you need, move to the heading for the
section or subsection you wish to move, then press ALT+SHIFT+UP ARROW to move
the heading up in the document, or press ALT+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW to move the
heading down in the document.

The section of the document is moved, along with any text and subsections. For
example, if you have a document with three sections at heading level 2, and
under each of these sections there are five subsections at heading level 3, if
you press ALT+SHIFT+2 to display headings to level 2, move to the third
heading at level 2, and then press ALT+SHIFT+UP ARROW, that heading becomes
the second section, and the 5 subsections at heading level 3 that were under
that section are still there, in the second part of the document instead of
the third.

When you move headings and the sections contained within them in this manner,
the heading is selected in Word while it is moved. You may need to press LEFT
ARROW or RIGHT ARROW to deselect the heading before moving to the next or
previous line with UP or DOWN ARROW.

Note: The ALT+SHIFT plus arrow key combinations perform their expected JAWS
function of moving the cursor by the global mouse pixel setting if the PC
Cursor is not active).

For a listing of the keyboard commands for working in Outline View, refer to
Commands for using Outline View.

Smart Tags

In Microsoft Word, JAWS recognizes Smart Tags, a feature available only in
Microsoft Office XP or later. Smart Tags are useful because they provide
shortcuts to actions that normally would require several steps to perform.
JAWS announces that Smart Tags are present when you type certain kinds of
information such as a person's name, address, or birthday or when you open a
document that has this information. To hear JAWS announce Smart Tags, you must
enable them in Word.

Following are listed the types of information that Smart Tags recognize:

Dates
Telephone Numbers
Recent Outlook E-mail Recipients
Stock Ticker Symbols
Tip: To change whether JAWS announces smart tags, press INSERT+V while in Word
to change the verbosity options. Select Smart Tags and press SPACEBAR to turn
this option on or off.

Enabling Smart Tags in Word

To enable Smart Tags in Word, you must check three items in the Tools Menu.

To move to the Tools Menu, press ALT+T.
Press O to open the Options dialog.
Press CTRL+TAB to move to the View page.
Press TAB to move to the Show Smart Tags checkbox, and press SPACEBAR to check
it.
Press ENTER to close this dialog.
Open the Tools menu again.
Press A for the AutoCorrect dialog.
Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Smart Tags page.
Press TAB to move to the Label Text with Smart Tags checkbox. Press SPACEBAR
to check this check box.
Press TAB again to move to the Show Smart Tags Actions Button checkbox, and
check this check box by pressing SPACEBAR.
Press ENTER to close this dialog.

Using Smart Tags

You can access Smart Tags in a couple of ways. The first way is while you are
creating a document. When you finish typing Smart Tag information, move your
cursor back over the information. JAWS will announce, "Has Smart Tag." At this
point, press ALT+CTRL+INSERT+S to bring up a context menu. Use this menu to
select items that are specific to your Smart Tag information.

The second way is to open a finished document and press ALT+INSERT+SHIFT+S.
This will open the Smart Tags dialog, which lists all the Smart Tags in your
document. If there are no Smart Tags in your document, JAWS announces that
there are no Smart Tags. Next, press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to move through
the list and press ENTER on the Smart Tag item. This will take you to the
information tagged in the document. Now press ALT+CTRL+INSERT+S to bring up a
context menu, which offers you item specific choices. To exit this dialog and
return to your place in the document, press ESC.

Note: The Smart Tag list includes numbers before each item. These numbers may
not correspond to the number of items in the list. This is because there are
more Smart Tags within Word documents than have yet been fully implemented by
Microsoft. JAWS recognizes all these Smart Tags, but only displays those that
are currently implemented.

Helpful Hints for Word

----------
Word Spelling and Grammar Error Detection

JAWS can automatically detect and report spelling and grammatical errors and
even tell you how many errors are on the current line. You can bring up a list
of the spelling or grammatical errors and move your cursor to the selected
error. To enable this feature:

Enable Check Spelling as you Type and/or Check Grammar as you Type on the
Tools, Options Dialog, Check Spelling Page.
Spelling and Grammar in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog (INSERT+V must be set
to On or to On plus Count.
When Check Spelling as you Type is enabled, JAWS alerts you (by saying
Misspelled Word) when you move on to a misspelled word. If Check Grammar as
you Type is enabled, JAWS tells you when you move into and out of the text
marked as a grammatical error.

When either of these features is enabled, and the Spelling and Grammar
verbosity item is set to On plus Count, arrowing onto a line or pressing the
Say Line command (INSERT+UP ARROW) on a line with errors, reads the line
followed by announcing the number of errors.

If you prefer to receive feedback on Spelling and Grammar errors in Braille,
enable the Mark Proofreading Errors in Braille option in the Adjust JAWS
Options dialog.

Listing Spelling and Grammar Errors

To list all spelling errors, press ALT+SHIFT+L. Select an error in the list
and press ENTER to move the insertion point to the selected error in your
document. To list all grammatical errors, press CTRL+SHIFT+G. Select an error
in the list and press ENTER to move the insertion point to the selected error
in your document.

Spell Check Dialog

In Word's Spell Check dialog, to reread the mistake and suggestion, press
INSERT+F7. To hear the misspelled word in context, press INSERT+C.

Screen Sensitive Help in Word

Screen Sensitive Help (INSERT+F1) gives you information about your document,
including the number of tables, the number of fields, and the document
protection type. Screen Sensitive Help tells you about the Header/Footer pane,
the Footnote/Endnote pane, the Comments pane, page number locations, multiple
text columns and margin settings. Also, the document summary is spoken after
information about the current cell or form field. When Form fields have the
focus, INSERT+F1 gives Screen Sensitive Help appropriate to the Form field.
Screen Sensitive Help reports the number of objects in the drawing and text
layers, then tells you how to convert objects to text layer objects so JAWS
can detect them. JAWS also now announces the width and height in points of the
current table cell. Screen Sensitive Help alerts the user if Extended
Selection Mode is on.

----------
Tables in Word

JAWS detects when you move into, out of, and within a table (from row to row
or column to column) and even warns you when you TAB into the last cell. JAWS
also indicates when the number of columns changes from one row to another.
Table detection includes nested tables.

Press CTRL+INSERT+T to list all tables in the document. The list shows each
table and its dimensions. Select the table you want, and press ENTER to move
to it. The insertion point is placed in the first cell of the table, or in the
first form field in the table if the document is protected.

Reading Tables

In Word, once in a table, press TAB to move to the next cell, and press
SHIFT+TAB to move to the prior cell. The JAWS standard commands for reading
tables are also supported. Refer to Using JAWS to Navigate Tables.

To read a table row, press ALT+INSERT+R. To read a table column, press
ALT+INSERT+C.

Column and Row Titles

JAWS can be set to automatically announce the title of columns and/or rows as
you move through tables. To configure row and/or column title reading:

Move to the column or row that contains the titles. If you are setting both
column and row titles, move to the cell where the column and row containing
the titles intersect.
Press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog.
Move to Set Row Titles Column to specify row titles are within the current
column. Move to Set Column Titles Row to specify that column titles are within
the current row.
Press ENTER to close the dialog.
The Title Reading verbosity item is automatically set based on whether you
configured row titles, column titles, or both. If you feel you are receiving
too much information, return to the Adjust JAWS Options dialog, move to Title
reading, and select the setting you want to use. The available settings are:

Read No Titles
Read Column Titles
Read Row Titles
Read Both Titles
To reread a column title, press ALT+INSERT+SHIFT+C and to reread a row title,
press ALT+INSERT+SHIFT+R.

To reset the row and column title definitions to the default and turn off
title reading, open the Adjust JAWS Options dialog, move to Clear Title
Definitions, and press SPACEBAR.

Non Uniform Tables

Non uniform tables are tables with rows that span more than one column, or
columns that span more than one row. JAWS can provide detailed information
about the table that can help you navigate and get oriented. If you do not
want to hear this information, press INSERT+V, select "Table Description," and
press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off." This setting is retained even after you
quit Word.

While Table Description is on, JAWS informs you when you move into a
non-uniform table. You can then press INSERT+F1 to learn more about the table.
If the table contains merged columns, JAWS says, "At least one cell in this
table spans more than one column." If the table contains merged rows, JAWS
says, "At least one cell in this table spans more than one row."

Tables with Merged Columns

If a table has merged cells that span one or more columns and Table
Description is on, JAWS announces when the number of columns changes as you
move from row to row with ALT+CTRL+UP or DOWN ARROW. For example, in a table
with eight columns, if you move from a regular cell to a cell that spans five
columns, JAWS says, "Number of columns changed from eight to four."

If you set a row to be used for column headers that contains a non uniform
number of cells, JAWS cannot properly associate the column headers. For
example, if you have a table with eight columns, but the first row contains
only four cells, and you assign that row for column headers, JAWS does not
read the column headers, but only states the position within the table.

If the first or last rows contain differing numbers of cells from the other
rows in a table, it may not be possible for JAWS to identify the top or bottom
of a column. In this case, if you use the commands to move to the top or
bottom of a column, ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+UP ARROW and ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW,
JAWS announces that the move cannot be made, and the insertion point is not
moved.

Tables with Merged Rows

A table may have columns that span multiple rows. JAWS does not indicate when
you have moved from a regular cell into a cell that spans multiple rows. In
addition, you cannot use ALT+CTRL+UP or DOWN ARROW to navigate a table with
merged rows. If the table also has both merged rows and merged columns, you
may not be able to use ALT+CTRL+RIGHT or LEFT ARROW to navigate the table
either. Instead, use TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move through the table cells.

Creating Accessible Tables

You can create accessible tables for JAWS 6.0 or later solely by using
functionality available in Microsoft Word. This means that even those who do
not use JAWS can mark table row and/or column headings for JAWS users.

To make a table accessible for users of JAWS 6.0 or later, start Microsoft
Word and open the document containing your table(s). If the table has both row
and column headings, place the insertion point in a cell where the row and
column containing the headings meet. Then, open the Insert menu and choose
Bookmark. Type "Title" and press ENTER.

If the table has only row headings, place the insertion point in any cell
within the column containing the headings. Then, open the Insert menu and
choose Bookmark. Type "RowTitle" and press ENTER.

If the table has only column headings, place the insertion point in any cell
within the row containing the headings. Then, open the Insert menu and choose
Bookmark. Type "ColumnTitle" and press ENTER.

Tip: Do not place a bookmark in each cell that contains a heading. JAWS
recognizes all cells in the marked row and/or column as a heading.

Microsoft Word does not allow two bookmarks to use the same name. If there is
more than one table in your document, add a number or descriptive word to the
end of the bookmark text used to indicate headings. For example, "Title_1,"
"RowTitle_Revenue," or "ColumnTitle_Expenses."

Any JAWS user can override the information provided by the document author. To
do this, press INSERT+V while you are in Word to open the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog box. Select "Override Named Titles" and use the SPACEBAR to cycle
through the available options. Choose "On for the current file" to override
named titles for tables in the currently open document. Choose "On for all
files" to override named titles in all documents that you open in Word. If you
want to use the table information provided by the author again, choose "Off."

Navigating Word Toolbars

The Microsoft Word toolbars are fully accessible with JAWS. For best results,
you may wish to ensure the Standard and Formatting toolbars are not sharing
one row. To do this:

Select Tools, Customize.
On the Options page, clear the Standard and Formatting Toolbars Share one Row
check box.
Press ENTER.
To navigate to the Word toolbars, first press the ALT key. This moves you to

Floating Toolbars

Some toolbars in Word "float" over the document edit window. Floating toolbars
are sometimes difficult to access with the keyboard and can obscure document
text. Therefore, JAWS automatically docks all floating toolbars in Word. Once
a toolbar is docked, you can access it using the commands described
previously. If you want to make the toolbars float again, press INSERT+V,
select "Dock Floating Toolbars," and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off for
next time." Your changes take effect the next time you start Word.

Reading Options

Item

Description


Bookmark Indicator


This option controls whether to detect bookmarks while reading through the
document.


Border Changes


This option controls whether to detect changes in borders while reading the
document. The default is off.


Comments, Footnotes, and Endnotes


As you read or navigate through a Word document, JAWS can announce when it
encounters a comment, footnote, or endnote. This detection is turned on by
default. The following choices are available for this option:

On: JAWS enables the discovery of comments, footnotes, and endnotes.
On + Count: JAWS enables the discovery of comments, footnotes, and endnotes,
and also announces the total number of comments, footnotes, or endnotes per
line.
Off: JAWS disables the discovery of comments, footnotes, and endnotes.
Note:


Press CTRL+SHIFT+APOSTROPHE for a list of comments that appear in the
document.

Press ALT+SHIFT+APOSTROPHE to reread the comment referenced at the cursor.

Press ALT+SHIFT+E to reread the referenced footnote or endnote.


Item Counts


As you navigate through a document, either by line, sentence, or paragraph,
JAWS announces the number of errors and/or references according to the
verbosity settings you have selected. Use this setting to specify whether the
number of errors/references are announced before or after reading the line,
sentence or paragraph. This setting affects:

Spelling and Grammar errors
Comment, Footnote, and Endnote references
Fields
Track changes revisions

Graphical Objects Detection


This option controls whether to detect graphical objects while reading the
document. The default is off.


Page Breaks, Tab positions, and Multiple Columns


JAWS automatically states your new tab position in the correct unit of
measure, and also announces when you cross page boundaries. As you press TAB,
JAWS tells you the distance from the left edge of the page to your new cursor
position. When you press UP ARROW, DOWN ARRROW, PAGE UP, or PAGE DOWN and
cross page boundaries, JAWS tells you the page number of the new page. JAWS
also announces when you enter a section of a document that is in multiple
columns.


Smart Tags Indicator


Use this option to turn change whether JAWS announces smart tags in Word XP or
later. For more information, see Smart Tags.


Smart Word Reading


This option controls how JAWS reads words with punctuation in them, such as
phone numbers. When off, JAWS reads the punctuation symbol under the cursor.
When on, JAWS reads the entire word.


Language Detection


With Language Detection enabled, as you navigate or read text in a document
containing multiple languages, and if you are using Eloquence, JAWS
automatically switches languages appropriately. If you are not using
Eloquence, the synthesizer in use still alerts you to the language change by
speaking the language name in the Message Voice before the text in that
language. Say Line, Say Sentence, and Say Paragraph all honor Language
switching. We recommend you have all Word language modules that you intend to
use installed before using this feature. Refer to Language Detection in Word
for more information.


Custom Labels


Turn this option off to temporarily hide any custom labels you have assigned
to form fields in the current document. The next time you move to a form field
with a custom label, JAWS reads the original label instead (if one is
available).


Say All Options

Item

Description


Say All Reads By


This option controls how JAWS reads when you perform a SayAll.
The available settings are: Line With Pauses, Line Without Pauses, Sentence,
and Paragraph.

	Capitalization 	
This option controls whether or not capitalization is indicated while reading
with SayAll. By default, JAWS indicates capitalization by raising the pitch of
the active voice. To change how JAWS indicates capitalization, see the Speech
and Sounds Manager in Configuration Manager. Capitalization options are found
on the Misc page.


Saving Word Options

After making a change to Word options, press the CLOSE button to save the
changes and exit the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box. JAWS remembers your
settings for all Microsoft Word settings across sessions. For example, if you
turn on proof reading information and exit Word, the next time you open Word,
proof reading information is still enabled.

These application settings are saved in the word.jsi (JAWS Script
Initialization) file, and are stored in the script directory.

JAWS also remembers document specific settings each time you open a document
for which specific settings have been saved. Document specific settings
include Table Reading Definitions.

Note: The filename for document specific settings is called
word_documentname.jsi, where documentname is the name of the document to which
the settings apply. Each tables definitions are stored in a section derived
from the table number. When you choose Clear Definitions from the Verbosity
dialog box, the current tables settings are deleted from the .jsi file.

Tip: Turn off all Word specific verbosity settings to make Word more
responsive.

Mozilla Firefox is an Internet browser that you can use to access Web pages
and other online content. JAWS provides many of the same HTML features
available in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Firefox as well. Firefox is a
free program and you can download it from www.mozilla.org.

Note: The information in this section has been verified for Firefox version
1.5 or later. The level of support JAWS provides for other versions of this
product may vary.

List of all Supported Applications

----------
Mozilla Firefox Getting Started

There are no special installation or setup requirements to run this product
with JAWS. Simply start the program using normal procedures. Refer to the
products online help system as required. If you need assistance with JAWS
commands or want to know what new features have been added that JAWS supports,
press INSERT+F1+F1.

JAWS uses the Virtual Cursor with Firefox. This allows you to read pages just
like you would in Internet Explorer. Use the standard document reading
commands to move through text, and press ENTER to activate links. When you
move to a link with the TAB key, you can press CTRL+ENTER to open the link in
a new tab or SHIFT+ENTER to open it in a new window. Alternatively, you can
press ALT+ENTER to save the target of the link as a file on your computer.

You can also use Navigation Quick Keys to quickly move to headings, lists,
links, tables, form controls, and other HTML elements. For example, you can
press T for table, F for form control, V for visited link, H for heading, and
so on. Add SHIFT to move to the previous element of that type. For a complete
listing of these commands, visit Navigation Quick Keys.

Displaying Lists of Information

JAWS can create lists of certain HTML elements on the current page, just like
in Internet Explorer. Press INSERT+F3 to see the various types of lists that
are available. You also can use the following commands to quickly display
lists of the following important HTML elements:

Form Fields - Press INSERT+F5
Headings - Press INSERT+F6
Links - Press INSERT+F7
Frames - Press INSERT+F9
In addition, if you hold down CTRL+INSERT and press one of several Navigation
Quick Keys, JAWS displays a list of those elements on the current page. For
example, to display a list of check boxes on the current page, press
CTRL+INSERT+X. For a complete list of keystrokes that display lists of
elements, refer to Navigation Quick Keys.

Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to move through the lists and select items.
Alternatively, press the first letter of an item to move right to it. Press
ENTER to move to the selected item's location on the page.

Interacting with Forms

To interact with forms in Firefox, you must use Forms Mode, just like in
Internet Explorer. Press ENTER to switch to Forms Mode. While in this mode,
press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move between form controls. After you have completed
the form, press NUM PAD PLUS to exit Forms Mode. For more information, visit
HTML Forms.

Using the Downloads Manager

The Downloads Manager appears automatically when you save a file from the Web
on your computer. You can also display it at any time by pressing CTRL+J or by
opening the Tools menu and choosing Downloads. The Downloads Manager shows all
files that you have downloaded with Firefox. In the Downloads Manager, you can
select a downloaded file with the arrow keys. After you have selected a file,
you can press the TAB key once to select Open, and then press ENTER to open
the file. Alternatively, you can press the TAB key a second time to select
Remove, and then press ENTER to remove the file from the Downloads Manager.
Choose the Clean Up button to remove all files from the Download Manager.

Tip: To change the folder where Firefox saves downloaded files, open the Tools
menu, choose Options, and select "Downloads." Then, select the Save All Files
to this Folder radio button, and choose the Browse button.

How To Download Via FTP

If you are having trouble downloading a Netscape product from the download
page, try downloading directly from the FTP servers. The FTP servers also let
you download varieties of Netscape software that are not available on the
download page. Only 40-bit, export products are available via public FTP.

To Download A Netscape Product Directly From An FTP Server, Use The Following
Steps

Go to ftp://ftp.netscape.com.

Select /pub/ so you are at ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/.

Choose your product, version, language, and operating system.

Choose file and be sure to read the license agreement before downloading the
software.

Locating Links on a Web page

If you are using Netscape 3.0, then TAB and SHIFT+TAB will locate links by
searching for underlined text as in previous versions of JAWS. However, you
can also locate graphics on a page using CTRL+G and CTRL+SHIFT+G. Some
graphics may be links and so selecting these will automatically navigate to
that link.

Two methods for locating links

In Netscape 4.0x, you have two options for locating links. This has been
implemented, as neither method alone is always reliable. For instance, not all
links are underlined, so method one will not always work. On the other hand,
not all links are surrounded by a focus rectangle and so method two will not
always work. Two methods give more flexibility and reliability when navigating
Web pages.

To toggle between the two methods use CTRL+SHIFT+T.

When using the focus rectangle method, TAB and SHIFT+TAB will find all links
on the whole page and not just on the current screen, as does the underline
search method.

When a focus rectangle appears around a graphic, JAWS will read the status
line, which generally displays the URL for the graphical link.

List Links Dialog

You can now bring up a dialog that will list the available hyperlinks on a
page while navigating in Netscape. Press INSERT+F7 to bring up the List Links
dialog. You can then choose to move to a link on the page, or you can choose
to activate a link. Use the TAB key to move through the controls in the
dialog.

Allows you to select toolbar buttons from a list box

When you press INSERT+F8, a dialog will appear with the standard toolbar
buttons in a list box. Simply press the first letter of the button you want to
press or use the Arrows to locate it. Press ENTER to choose the button.

Allows you to repeat the last link spoken

Insert+c (read link in context) has been defined to repeat the last link
spoken regardless of which link search method you use.

Allows you to repeat the current visible page

Using insert+CTRL+down arrow allows you to hear the entire visible page (that
is, the text currently showing on the screen).

Allows you to navigate forms either using INSERT+TAB as in earlier versions or
by using the built-in tracking of Netscape 4.0 (see above)

If you currently have Focus Rect Tracking on then you can simply use TAB and
shift+tab to get to all the controls on a form. Alternatively you can use
insert+tab and shift+insert+tab to use the old method of locating controls on
a form.

Allows you to locate graphics on a page and easily hear their associated file
name

You can use CTRL+g and CTRL+SHIFT+g to find and place the JAWS cursor on
graphics on the current screen. Sometimes you may need to refresh the screen
or change the graphic dimensions in the netscape.jcf file to find all
graphics, but the default setting should be generally appropriate.

If the graphic causes a View Graphic option to appear on the Right Mouse
Button Context menu then JAWS will get the name of the graphic (e.g.,
Shark.jpg, etc.) when you attempt to do a Say Word on the graphic. If no name
can be found on the context menu, JAWS will simply speak the graphic number it
has calculated for the graphic. If an URL appears on the status line when you
locate a graphic with CTRL+g or CTRL+SHIFT+g, JAWS will read this and you will
know that the graphic is a link.

This functionality works in both Netscape 3.0 and 4.0, but in Netscape 4.0,
the Focus Rect Tracking method may be more reliable.

Allows the use of Netscape Composer without repeating everything typed

Previously, if you attempted to use Netscape Composer, JAWS thought you were
running Netscape Navigator and as a result reads everything you typed. Now
JAWS will distinguish between the Navigator and Composer window and act
appropriately.

Netscape Improved Hot Key Help

Hot Key Help (insert+h) has been enhanced to announce all the new features.

Move to address bar and back

Use insert+a to get to the address bar and insert+x to return to the page
body.

Toggle Status Line Reading

To toggle the reading of the status line, use insert+CTRL+page down.

File Download Dialogs Speak

When you are downloading a file, insert+delete will now read the download
dialog so you can monitor the status of the download without having to search
for the relevant details with the JAWS cursor.

Miscellaneous Minor Improvements Include

Alt+left and right arrow now announce back or forward so you know that you are
loading the prior or next page.

Insert+delete will read the status line message when not downloading a file
(see above). Note this may not always be up-to-date, depending on whether a
text event has triggered the updating of the global variable. We have made the
script read a variable because it is faster than trying to locate the status
bar and thus has less of a detrimental effect on the current processing of a
download etc.

Quattro Pro is a Windows spreadsheet application. Think of a spreadsheet as a
set of giant sheets of paper divided up into cells. Quattro Pro calls this
collection of sheets a Notebook. Every cell can contain a value or label.
Values are either numbers or formula. Labels are simply text. By combining
numbers, formulae, and labels, you can create spreadsheets that represent
different situations. Once you have developed a spreadsheet, you can
investigate the effects of various scenarios by entering the appropriate
values. The spreadsheet will then be automatically updated to reflect these
changes. You can format the data in your spreadsheet and generate graphs that
visually display the data in a variety of styles. Please visit
http://www.corel.com for more information on Quattro Pro.

Note: The information in this section has been verified for Quattro Pro
versions 9 through 12. The level of support JAWS provides for other versions

Quattro Pro 10 Writing tool dialog

Using TAB and SHIFT+TAB will read the cell coordinates and cell contents of
the new cell with focus. If a cell contains a formula, JAWS will say, "Has
formula" in the message voice. To hear the formula, use ALT+SHIFT+F. Press the
keystroke twice to present the formula in a JAWS message box and review it
with the JAWS Cursor. Use the Arrow keys in the spreadsheet area to read the
newly focused cell and the same information will be spoken. To enter data into
a cell, position the cursor on that cell, and begin typing. To edit
information already in a cell, press F2. To delete information in a cell,
position the cursor on that cell, and press DELETE.

To move around in the spreadsheet there are JAWS commands that can be used.
See Using JAWS to Navigate Tables.

If you need further information about Quattro Pro or other Corel products,
visit their web site at http://www.corel.com.

Title Reading

Spreadsheets often contain title rows and columns for organizing information.
These titles offer information about the data contained in a particular cell.
Titles often appear in the first column or row. Imagine the first row of a
spreadsheet that lists the days of the week. Now imagine the first column
containing hours of the day. When title rows and columns are set, no matter
which row your cursor is on as you move from left to right, you will hear the
days of the week announced. Similarly, no matter which column you are on, as
you move up and down you will hear the hour of the day announced. This allows
you to hear information about the cell you are on, without having to move to
the first column or row to read it. This can be handy if you are in cell D13,
and you would like to make sure the activity you are reading about is supposed
to take place on Wednesday at noon.

You can set a title column or row using the JAWS Verbosity dialog or by using
the keystrokes ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+R to set the row for column titles or
ALT+TRL+SHIFT+C to set the column for row titles. To hear the current column
title, press A+SHIFT+C. To hear the current row title, press ALT+SHIFT+R. The
Title column or row does not have to be visible to be read.

Total Reading

In a spreadsheet, a total refers to a particular cell that contains a
summation of two or more other cells. Think of an accounting spreadsheet for
example. You will most likely have a column containing funds you have either
withdrawn or deposited, and at the bottom will be a cell containing your
current balance. Your balance here is a total because it is a summation of the
entries in the cells above. JAWS offers you the option of reading a columns or
rows total without moving away from the cell you are currently working in. You
can turn this on and off in the JAWS Verbosity Dialog. Use INSERT+DELETE to
read the current row's total or INSERT+ENTER to read the current column's
total. Set the totals column or row either by allowing JAWS to search for
them, or set them manually using the JAWS Verbosity dialog. Also, you can set
the current row for column totals by pressing CTRL+INSERT+DELETE, or set the
current column for row totals by pressing CTRL+INSERT+ENTER. You can also let
JAWS search for the total for a column or row for you. JAWS will look across
the current row or down the current column for a cell whose formula contains
the word "@SUM". The totals column or row does not have to be visible to be
read.

Monitor Cell

Spreadsheets offer a dynamic way to manage data. This often means that
information entered into one cell will effect information contained in other
cells of the spreadsheet. In this case, you may wish to monitor the contents
of one cell as you enter data into another. JAWS allows you to set up a
monitor cell which will allow you to review information in a cell you are not
currently in. You can set the monitor cell using the JAWS Verbosity dialog or
by using ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+M.

Use ALT+SHIFT+M to read the monitor cell. The monitor cell does not have to be
visible to be read.

Clear All Definitions

Use the JAWS Verbosity dialog to clear all definitions for title, total, and
monitor cell coordinates.

Note:If you have selected cells in a spreadsheet when reading selected cells,
only the first and last cell in the selection have their contents spoken. This
is to avoid the use of excessive verbosity when selecting many cells.

General Notes

JAWS does not always load the Quattro Pro commands when you ALT+TAB to Quattro
Pro. You must press the ALT key and the ESC key to let JAWS focus on the
spreadsheet.

The Cell Properties multi-page dialog, Spreadsheet properties multi-page
dialog, and Notebook properties multi-page dialogs (accessed by pressing F12,
SHIFT+F12, and CTRL+F12) now speak. Where possible, JAWS will determine the
appropriate window classes when on certain buttons, such as, the Tab control
or Edit fields. Prompts do not always speak correctly in these dialogs. You
are asked to use the JAWS cursor extensively when controls do not speak
adequately.

In the spelling checker dialog, the JAWS cursor must be used to locate and
activate the options, as the focus is not moved with the TAB key.

Position Information

Position Information is a Verbosity Option set in the JAWS Configuration
Manager. At the Advanced level it is typically turned off. For Quattro Pro
this setting is turned on. Position Information is useful when working in
tables. When your cursor moves to a new row or column you are informed. To
turn this feature off, activate the JAWS Configuration Manager while working
in Quattro Pro. Select Verbosity Options from the Set Options menu. Press the
TAB key to move to the Advanced Preferences button. Press ENTER on that
button, and you can check or uncheck any of these checkboxes, including the
one for Position Information.

Quattro Pro 10 Writing tool dialog

The Quattro Pro 10 Writing Tool dialog includes the controls: Spellchecker,
Thesaurus, Dictionary and Grammar checker. However, these controls are not in
the tab order. This means that you cannot TAB to these controls. Corel has
been made aware of this situation and has informed Freedom Scientific that
this will be fixed in the next service pack for Corel Office 2002.

Quicken Guided Set Up

When you start Quicken 2003 for the first time, the Guided Set Up dialog
opens. This dialog is organized into steps that allow you to enter information
about yourself, your finances, debts, investments, and assets. The list of
steps appears on the left side of the screen:

Welcome
About You
Set Your Goals
Add Accounts
Cash Flow
Investments
Property and Debt
Paycheck
Bills
Setup Summary
The right side of the screen contains controls that are related to the item
selected from the left side of the screen. Exit, Previous Step, and Next Step
buttons are located at the bottom of the screen.

To move forward through controls in this dialog, press Tab. To move backward,
press SHIFT+TAB. To move to another step, use one of the following methods.

Move to the data sheet list and press UP or DOWN ARROW to move to the previous
or next step.
Press ALT+P or ALT+N to move to the previous or next step.
When you move to another step, the controls for that step appear on the right
side of the screen and the cursor moves to the first control in the data sheet
for that step.

completed the set up, press ALT+S, Q.

Welcome

This step allows you to choose one of two tasks:

Help me change my goals or set up additional bills, accounts, and pay checks.

To change the selection, move to the radio button and press UP or DOWN ARROW.

To watch a video about Quicken, tab to the Watch Video button and press
SPACEBAR.

About You

The controls on this screen allow you to enter information about yourself for
use when filing your taxes.

Set Your Goals

Use the check boxes on this screen to tell Quicken what you want the program
to help you do, such as manage your checking account or keep track of debts or
expenses.

TIP: If JAWS does not read all of the information about a field, use the JAWS
Cursor to locate and read additional information.

Cash Flow, Investments and Property, and Debt

When you select these steps, buttons appear on the right side of the screen
that allow you to choose to set up different accounts. Use the JAWS Cursor to
get more information about each button. When you press a button, a wizard
opens asking for more information.

Pay Check and Bills

These steps contain only one button. Pressing this button opens a wizard where
you can enter information.

Set Up Summary

This window lists all of the information you have entered in columns and rows.
Use the JAWS Cursor to read the information on this screen. To list the
buttons available on this screen, press ALT+CTRL+ENTER.

Working in a Register

In the Cash Flow, Investment, or Property menu, select the account you want to
work in. When you press ENTER, the account register opens. Move up and down

Use the JAWS Cursor to read additional information about each field and to
read the pending entries that appear below the entry area.

While you are in a register, press CTRL+SHIFT+NUM PAD 5 to read the current
entry, CTRL+SHIFT+UP ARROW to read the previous entry, or CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN
ARROW to read the next entry. To move through the list past several entries,
press CTRL+SHIFT+PAGE UP or CTRL+SHIFT+PAGE DOWN. JAWS reads the newly
highlighted entry.

Helpful Hints for Quicken 2000

Quicken 2000 contains two kinds of HTML views. One view is specific to Quicken
and JAWS does not navigate well in this screen. You can use the JAWS cursor to
navigate these screens, although many of them are organized in columns, which
causes more problems for JAWS. You can use INSERT+F7 to bring up the List
Links dialog and either move to or activate the links found on the page. This
is the case with the Planning Center. Quicken is still fully accessible using
the menu items. The other HTML views are navigated with the Virtual PC cursor.

Reports

Reports are automatically read, but if you desire finer detail, use the JAWS
Cursor.

Split Transaction View

JAWS will automatically read column titles as you move from column to column
or row to row in the Split Transaction view. Press INSERT+C to activate Read
Word In Context, which announces the current column title and row number.

Register Screens

When you move from column to column in register screens, JAWS reads the
correct column titles. When you move from row to row, JAWS tells you the
transaction number counting from the top of the register window. If the screen
scrolls, the transaction count will remain the same for the bottom transaction
but moving within the current screen, the transaction counter gives the user a
useful indication when they move from transaction to transaction.

JAWS fully supports both one line and two line transaction views and the
switching of the order of the category and memo fields in two line view.
Pressing INSERT+C to read word in context announces the current cells location
and in the grid or window.

My Finances

On the My Finances screen, when you press TAB to move to the list of accounts,
JAWS will attempt to bring the list into focus. If JAWS cant bring the list
into focus JAWS will issue a warning message. Bring the list into view by
pressing CTRL+PAGE UP or DOWN, as appropriate.

Calculators

Pressing INSERT+DELETE will read the calculated information for all of the
calculators on the Planning/Financial Calculators submenu.

Optimizing Quicken 98 And JAWS

In order to give the most useful feedback in the register screen with Quicken,
JAWS makes use of the Qcards. These Qcards are displayed by Quicken to give
the sighted user information on what is supposed to be entered in the current
fields. Qcards are turned on by default when the program is installed, but if
they should get turned OFF they can be enabled in the Quicken Help menu. In
order to make sure Qcards are displayed, it is always a good idea to maximize
the current window. Because of the amount of information displayed it is also
a good idea to make sure your screen resolution is set at 800x600, as 640x480
sometimes will not display the Qcards.

In Quicken the insert+f1 combination will give helpful information on what to
do in the current field. While entering information, you can also press
CTRL+INSERT+E to hear the ending balance.

QuickVerse Helpful Hints

When performing a CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW to read the current screen with the
JAWS cursor and pressing CTRL to stop reading, your cursor may end up in the
tree. This is caused by a single mouse selection being executed every time
SayAll stops. This, of course, is interpreted by the application. In the case
of QuickVerse, the mouse pointer is placed in the tree. Simply perform a
SayNextWord before resuming your SayAll to ensure better performance.

It is suggested that you close all windows that are currently not in use
including, if you have Display Daily Devotional checked (default) in
Options/Preferences, and Save Desktop Configuration also selected from the
Desktop page of the same dialog. If the window is not closed before closing
the application, when the program is restarted, multiple instances of the
window are displayed. It is also suggested that you close all other windows by
selecting Close All before starting Bible Study Workbooks or Daily Passage, to
maximize performance with the application and minimize reading difficulty.

Searches

Press CTRL+N to move to the Index bar, type the text of the search and press
ENTER. Do not attempt to use any buttons on this bar, because it may difficult
or impossible to return to the main window, and you cannot return the focus to
the Index bar, until the application is restarted.

When you use a book other than the Bible, you can search by topic on the Index
bar. See the QuickVerse help for instructions.

Verse Searches

Familiarize yourself with the syntax before searching by verse. See the
QuickVerse help for information regarding syntax.

These verse searches can be a bit more difficult if you are not familiar with
the syntax. This documentation outlines the syntax that the Help system
indicates is industry standard.

Daily Reading Plan Setup

After creating a Daily Reading Plan, with the Reading Plan Setup Wizard,
select the Daily Passage from the View menu.

Press ALT+V to view text in the Daily Passage. Press CTRL+INSERT+R to place
focus in the text area of this dialog. When you have finished reading, check
the box to mark it as read. Then press the TAB key to move to the Close button
and press the SPACEBAR. Next, press ALT+C to close the Daily Passage window.

This must be done before the focus is moved from the application. You must
close the Daily Passage window or the application will not accept keyboard
input. If this does occur you will have to close the application using the
JAWS cursor to select the close symbol at the top right-hand corner of the
window.

Hyperlinks

Another feature of this application is the ability to quickly navigate into a
Bible from within another commentary or book. If a specific book, chapter, and
verse are referenced in parentheses, simply navigate to the reference
(hyperlink) with the JAWS cursor and press the left mouse button. This will
result in the new window being opened containing the text to which the author
was referring. As always, when finished reviewing the text, press CTRL+F4 to
close this window.

JAWS cursor to read the text. This is an alternative to ReadCurrentScreen,
which reads with the JAWS Cursor.

with the JAWS cursor. If the Text Viewer window is in focus, the screen is
scrolled with a Page Down and the new text is read.

with the JAWS cursor. If the Text Viewer window is in focus, the screen is

Random House Helpful Hints

Using the Random House Websters Unabridged Dictionary

When the Random House Websters Unabridged Dictionary first gains focus, the
active control is the Look Up edit control.

Type the word you are looking for in this box.

As you type the nearest match to the word you have typed will be highlighted
in the Browse List box and will be spoken.

Once you have either finished typing the word you are searching for, or heard
the word you would like to look up, you may press the TAB key several times to
get to the Dictionary View window.

When focus lands on this control, JAWS will perform a Say All automatically
and thus will begin reading the definition of the word you looked up. This
control is very similar to an edit control, so you may stop the Say All by
pressing the CTRL Key and navigate through the definition using the standard
reading and navigation keystrokes.

Another way to search for a word is to navigate through the Browse List Box.
If you are having difficulty finding a word and you only know the first few
characters, type the first few characters of that word in the Look Up Edit Box
and then press TAB to move to the Browse List Box. Then you may use the arrow
keys, the PAGE UP key, or the PAGE DOWN key to navigate through the list to
find the specific word you are searching for.

Three JAWS commands have been provided to assist you in using the Random House
Websters Unabridged Dictionary. They are Hot Key Help, Windows Keys Help, and
Screen Sensitive Help.

Hot Key Help, called by pressing INSERT+H, gives you a list of keystrokes that
may be used in the dialog as well as a list of short cut keys for the various
controls found in the dialog box.

Windows Keys Help, called by pressing INSERT+W, provides a list of shortcut
keys that may be used anywhere in the application.

Screen Sensitive Help, called by pressing INSERT+F1, provides a description of
the general purpose of the active control and gives an idea of what the active
control may be used for.

SoundForge Helpful Hints

The main area for working with a sound file in SoundForge is called the Data
Window. From this window, you can navigate to specific areas of your sound
file, create markers or regions for easily manipulating a file, or select an
area of sound you wish to copy, cut, or add an effect to.

Speaking Time

Navigating through a sound file, you will hear the time position of the cursor
being spoken as it changes. You can choose not to have the time spoken
automatically as you navigate through a sound by pressing CONTROL+SHIFT+T to
toggle the Speak Time option. You can have JAWS speak the cursors current time
position at any time by pressing the command Speak Current Time, CTRL+SHIFT+M,
or by performing the SayLine command (INSERT+UP ARROW) in the Data Window. The
Speak Current time command can also be used to read the cursors current time
position when selecting text. If you have selected text moving forward through
a file, Speak Current Time will read the cursors position at the right edge of
the selected sound. If you perform the Speak Current Time command after
selecting backward through a file, you will hear the cursors position at the
left edge of the selected sound. To hear all the temporal information for a
selected sound, simply perform the Say Selected Text command,
SHIFT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW. Press INSERT+DELETE for the time length for the
entire current sound file.

Zoom Ratio

The Zoom Ratio is the ratio between the visible screen and an entire sound
file. A smaller Zoom Ratio will allow a smaller portion of sound to be
available on the screen, and vice versa for a larger Zoom Ratio. The larger
the total sound file, the larger the Zoom Ratio can become. The Zoom Ration
allows you to adjust the amount of time the cursor moves forward or backward
when using the Page Up and Page Down commands. If you wish to read the current
Zoom Ratio, press CTRL+SHIFT+Z, or use the Say Character Command (NumPad5)
when in the Data Window.

The Record Dialog

You can record sounds with the record dialog. Single shortcut keys activate
several of the record function buttons in this dialog. As you tab through this
dialog box you will hear the SoundForge shortcut key before the name of a
button, if that button possesses a single shortcut key.

Note:Not all of the record function buttons possess single shortcut keys. In
addition, several JAWS keystrokes have been added to aid in fast easy keyboard
mobility, and to eliminate synthesizer feedback when it is appropriate. These
keys are arranged like the function controls of a tape player, and are reached
by holding down the control key, and pressing the desired key between ` and 6
on the numbers row. These keys are arranged left to right: Record, Play, Go To
Beginning, Rewind, Fast Forward, Go To End, and Mark.

Information in the Open and Record Dialogs

Both the Open and Record Dialogs contain information about the current sound
file that you may wish to access quickly. CTRL+SHIFT+I will speak some of the
most pertinent information about the current file.

Note:This keystroke can be useful if you wish to read items such as a file
length, starting point of a record session, or the comments for a selected
file. This keystroke does not necessarily read all the information, which may
be available in either of these dialogs. If you wish to view any additional
information contained in either of these dialogs, it may be necessary to use
the JAWS cursor.

Using a Software Synthesizer

If you use a software synthesizer, such as Eloquence, to hear JAWS, you may
encounter errors when you play or record files. Some sound cards will produce
error messages as the synthesizer and SoundForge attempt to access the sound
card simultaneously. Use the SoftwareSynthOption, CTRL+SHIFT+S, to toggle this
option on. Now when play commands are activated JAWS speech will be silenced.
If you use the SPACEBAR command to play, speech will not be silenced. To avoid
this use the ` key. This command is the same as the SPACEBAR, except that
speech will be silenced before continuing with the play commands. Instead of
using SHIFT+SPACEBAR to play all, use SHIFT+GRAVE to play all and silence
speech.

Navigating the Data Entry Grid


Label - Data Entry Grid, Other Keys


The Dialogs


How do you set up a calculation using these dialogs?


The Output Navigator


Troubleshooting


Navigating the Data Entry Grid

Use INSERT+F1 for a reminder of useful keys when in the data editor. The grid
is much like a spreadsheet, which can be navigated using the ARROW keys.

LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW will move you between columns (variables). The
contents of the cell will be spoken, and the variable name announced.

The HOME and END keys move you to the first and last variable in a row.

Move between rows (cases) with UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW. Page Up and page Down
move by a screen at a time.

CTRL+LEFT ARROW and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW move to the first and last variable
respectively.

CTRL+HOME moves to the First variable, first case.

CTRL+END moves to the last variable, last case.

PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP scrolls down and up a page.

CTRL+PAGE DOWN and CTRL+PAGE UP scrolls right and left a page.

If no data is entered in the grid, the speech will not be able to indicate
your position. There is a function provided with the keystroke INSERT+Z that
can be used to insert a number of blank cases (or rows) to make the data entry
grid speak better as you enter the data. It is suggested that you use this to
insert Say 90 Cases (or how many is appropriate) right at the beginning,
almost the first thing that you do.

Label-Data Entry Grid, Other Keys

To hear a full description of the cell you are on, press INSERT+C.

Sometimes you may be working across a row looking for a variable. To switch
the order of the announcement of the cell contents and cell description, use
INSERT+A. This function is a toggle; so pressing it again will switch it back
to the original setting.

If a variable has value labels set, then you can access these with SHIFT+F2.

Search for data with ALT+F5.

Use F2 to edit cell contents. Finish the editing and press ENTER.

You can use the SPSS to increase the size of the text shown in the data grid.
From the Menu bar select View, Fonts. JAWS will speak the contents and cell
locations as long as they are both shown on the screen. You can have the
screen display big text with as few as five rows showing.

The Dialogs

The dialogs in SPSS use graphical buttons for setting up statistical
calculations, transformations, and graphs. We will call these Arrow buttons,
and they are used to add an item from a list box to another. For example: you
may select a variable and add it to the dependent list box when performing a
means calculation.

A sighted person would choose a variable from the first list box in the
dialog, and then select the Arrow button that points towards the section where
they wanted to insert it. This section is often another list box. When the
Arrow button is selected, the variable is removed from the first list box, and
added into the second.

There could be a number of these Arrow buttons in a dialog (up to five). You
can find out how many there are and what they do by pressing INSERT+F1.

How do you set up a calculation using these dialogs?

Begin by selecting the variable that you are concerned with from the first
list box in the dialog. Then you can add the selected variables to list boxes
in three ways.

Press INSERT+F7 for a menu of list boxes.

Press the TAB key to move around the dialog to find the Arrow button you want
and press SPACEBAR to activate the Arrow button. However, the keyboard support
in these dialogs varies, and sometimes a number of the Arrow buttons are not
in the tab order.

You can move very quickly between the Arrow buttons using INSERT+N and P for
next and previous Arrow buttons. This avoids the problem in 2 above. Press
SPACEBAR to activate the Arrow button.

To jump to the first variables list box from anywhere in the list box use
INSERT+L.

Note:To reset dialogs to an empty form press ALT+R.

The button may be grayed if the variable selected is not valid for that
particular parameter of the calculation.

These buttons can also be used to remove variables from the target lists. Use
INSERT+P or INSERT+N to find the associated arrow button and press it. This
should place the selected variable back in the first list box.

The Output Navigator

The Output Navigator shows the results of calculation and graphs. The tree
structure is intended to allow you to move between the various outputs that
you have produced in this session. The display does not lend well to speech
output.

You may be able to move through the tree with the UP/DOWN ARROW keys. However,
a better method is likely to be outputting the information to another program,
and reading it there. From here you can save it, add it to a document or print
or emboss it as required.

The output will be exported in the currently selected format, which is text by
default. Switch between the modes with INSERT+M. Excel is recommended for
reviewing tables with speech. If you are using a Braille display, these are
best looked at in WordPad after they have been exported as text.

INSERT+E starts the export function. Choosing Last Output will be a frequent
choice.

To view the exported information, use INSERT+SHIFT+E. Text documents are read
with WordPad, and HTML documents in Excel or Word.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM

The speech says, "No data or variable entered in this cell."

SUGGESTIONS

If no data is entered, then the speech cannot track the cursor. You need to
load a data file, or enter variables and data before the speech in the data
grid has anything to tell you. If you move outside the area of the grid that
has data entered, then you will get the same message.

For best results with the speech, first set up your variables. Then move down
about 100 rows and enter something there. Now the speech will be satisfactory
in the lines above, even where there is no data entered. Use the INSERT+Z
function to do this.

If there is data there and you still get this message, perhaps JAWS was
started after SPSS. Quit SPSS and reload it. You may need to quit JAWS and
restart it as well.

It is possible that the hardware acceleration is not set to Full. Change this
in Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/Performance/Graphics.

SYMPTOM

In the output navigator the speech says, "Could not locate the navigation
arrow."

SUGGESTIONS

You may need to switch the Outline Size to Medium. You can do this with ALT+V,
Z, M. It may be that the left side of the window needs to be increased in
width. This can only be done with the mouse. You can still look at your output
in an editor without selecting the specific items by choosing last output.

SYMPTOM

A table you created has disappeared from the editor you use to view the
output.

SUGGESTIONS

The editor uses a temporary file for you to view the output. If you want to
keep a copy of the tables, then you will need to save the tables under
different names, or copy and paste them into another application.

TaxACT Helpful Hints

After starting TaxACT, the main TaxACT dialog opens. This dialog contains
several buttons and a combo box that are used to determine the part of the tax
preparation process you would like to perform.

Note:If you are using the free version of TaxACT, you will first need to close
the order dialog by pressing the Cancel button.

The combo box on the main dialog can be opened by using INSERT+F8. Once open
there is a list of tax processes from which to choose.

When you arrow up or down in the combo box, each new option is activated
immediately instead of simply being selected. This list is one way to move
through the QnA session. You can also access each of these processes by
TABBING through 7 large icons on the main page. As you move from one to
another you will hear "Click to begin ..." and then the name of the section.
For example, the first section is Basic Information, so you will hear "Click
to begin the Basic Information Section."

Navigating the data screens is similar to filling out order forms on a web
page. These dialogs can be navigated simply by pressing TAB and SHIFT+TAB. At
times it may become necessary to reread descriptive information about the
current option. Press CTRL+INSERT+D to read the forms description.

TaxACT tables can be navigated using JAWS keystrokes. See Using JAWS to
Navigate Tables for details.

On certain systems, the graphic is not automatically read when you first make
the control active. If this should happen, use the SayLine keystroke
(INSERT+UP ARROW) to hear the name of the control.

Visual Basic

JAWS supports both Visual Basic Integrated Development Environment and Visual
Basic for Applications editor, which are both new applications to JAWS. Visual
Basic Integrated Development Environment is shipped with Microsoft Visual
Studio, which entails a full development environment including a visual forms
designer, a code manager, debugger, etc. On the other hand, Visual Basic for
Applications editor is accessed from the Macros submenu of most applications
supporting Visual Basic for Applications or VBA. The VBA editor could be
considered a subset of Visual Basic. While these two environments have some
similarities in appearance, they are quite different, and all attempts have
been made to make their operation with JAWS as flawless and reliable as
possible. Please visit http://www.microsoft.com for more information on Visual
Basic.

Note: The information in this section has been verified for Visual Basic 6.0

Moving Controls in the VBA editor differs to that in Visual Basic 6.0. In the
VBA editor you can move controls up, down, left or right either a pixel at a
time using CTRL+UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT ARROW or a larger unit (currently 20
pixels) using ALT+SHIFT+UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT ARROW.

In the Visual Basic 6.0 editor you can only move by either the grid unit using
CTRL+UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT ARROWS (if the grid is on) or by pixels using the
same keystrokes if the grid is off.

Also you can change the size of the selected control on the Visual Basic 6.0
form designer by using SHIFT+ARROW keys. When you use these keystrokes, JAWS
will announce the new width and height of the control as well as if it
overlaps.

Navigating Controls on Form

While the Visual Basic for Applications environment supported by the Office
applications does not directly support Form navigation via the keyboard, JAWS
form navigation has been implemented so that full keyboard support is
available whether using the VBA environment or the Visual Basic 6.0
environment.

Form Navigation Support for Visual Basic for Applications 6.0 editor

Press TAB and SHIFT+TAB to set focus on each control in TAB order (or reverse
TAB order). Form navigation is just like navigating in a dialog box. JAWS will
announce the programmatic name and class name of each control as you TAB to
them.
Use CTRL+HOME/END to set focus on first or last control in TAB order.
Set focus on any control on the design form by using the keystroke
CTRL+SHIFT+L, which will list all the controls. Once you select the desired
control, focus is placed on that control.

Form Navigation Support for Visual Basic 6.0 Integrated Development
Environment

Press TAB and SHIFT+TAB to set focus on each control in TAB order (or reverse
TAB order). Form navigation is just like navigating in a dialog box. JAWS will
announce the programmatic name and class name of each control as you TAB to
them.
Use the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, and LEFT ARROW KEYS to move from control to control
in the VB Form Designer, like moving from letter to letter in a text document.
JAWS will announce the programmatic name and class name of each control.

Placing Controls on a Form

JAWS uses a keystroke to place a control on a form in both Visual Basic for
Applications and in Visual Basic 6.0 Integrated Development Environment. Press
CTRL+SHIFT+B to list the available tools in the toolbox in a dialog form. From
this dialog, you can select which tool you want to use.

Labels for New Controls

When you add new controls to the Visual Basic 6 toolbox using the
Program/Components menu item, the next time the list toolbox is invoked using
CTRL+SHIFT+B, JAWS will find and label the newly added tools with their
associated tool tips. These new tools will automatically be available in the
resulting tools list. If new tools are detected when you press CTRL+SHIFT+B,
the process of gathering the tool names will take longer than if no tools were
added.

Note:If the newly added tools do not have tool tips associated with them, then
they will not be labeled. This is uncommon though.

Placing Controls Inside Other Controls in Visual Basic 6

To place a control inside another control, such as placing checkboxes or other
controls inside a frame or other container, you must:

First, place all controls required on the form, including any container
controls.
Second, select the control you wish to place inside a control container by
pressing the TAB key to move to it.
Third, cut the control using CTRL+X.
Finally, select the container, by pressing TAB to move to it, and then use
CTRL+V to paste the control there.
The control is now programmatically placed within the container. Moving the
contained control moves relative to the container rather than the form.

Screen Sensitive Help

Object Browser  Screen Sensitive Help will describe each control and its
purpose.

Code Window  describes the number and range of visible code lines, the name of
the procedure containing the cursor, the number of lines in the procedure, the

Webster's Helpful Hints

Using the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus

When you first start the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, the
control with focus is the Find/Browse edit combo box. If this is your first
time running the application, the active mode is Lookup in Dictionary.
Otherwise whichever mode was active when you last ran the application is
active.

To lookup a word, simply start typing it in the Find/Browse edit combo box. As
you type, a list box window will pop up and display a list of words that most
closely match what you have typed. Do not worry if you do not know how to
spell the word you wish to lookup. You can always just type the first several
letters and then use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to select an item from the list.
Then once you have either typed or selected the word you wish to lookup,
simply press ENTER. The entry for that word will be displayed in the
Dictionary Display Window, the Thesaurus Display Window, or both windows,
depending on the active mode.

Once you have looked up a word, simply press TAB to move focus to the next
window. The first screen full of the text associated with the entry will be
spoken automatically when the control gains focus. To repeat the text, simply
press INSERT+TAB, for Say Window Prompt And Text. To hear the next screen full
of information, press PAGE DOWN. To display a list box of all links contained
in the visible portion of the entry, use the Select A hot key, INSERT+F7. You
may also review the displayed text more closely with the JAWS cursor. As you
are navigating through the text with the JAWS cursor, you will here the word
spoken any time a is encountered.

The next control in the tab order varies depending on the active mode. If the
active mode is either Lookup in Dictionary or Lookup in Thesaurus, pressing
TAB again will bring the Find/Browse edit combo box back into focus. If the
active mode is Lookup in both, the next control is the Thesaurus Display
Window. It can be used in the same way as the previous control.

The Links List Dialog May Not Find All Visible Links

There are two basic font styles that are used in links within the Websters New
World Dictionary & Thesaurus. The text color of both of these font styles is
blue. One of these fonts uses bold text, the other uses normal text. The Links
List dialog does not list the links that are based upon normal text.

These links are detected and announced when you navigate through the text of
the display windows using the JAWS cursor. For best results when doing this,
turn restriction on once the JAWS cursor is positioned in the display window
and turn it off when you are finished reviewing the text. You may toggle
cursor restriction by pressing INSERT+R.

Some Text May Be Repeated When Pressing Page Down

When focus is in one of the display windows and you press the PAGE DOWN key
while the PC Cursor is active, the next screen full of text is displayed.
Under normal circumstances, no text that is displayed in the display window is
repeated. The only exception to this rule occurs when the entry had only a few
more lines of text. Then the screen scrolls down just enough to display the
new text. When this occurs, the entire window is redrawn and thus JAWS speaks
the entire contents of the display window and not just the newly added lines.

The Office Clipboard allows you to copy or cut up to 12 different selections.
You can then paste them individually or all at once. You can also paste the
selections in a different order from that which they were copied or cut. You
should note that when you copy or cut items to the Office Clipboard, only the
last item is copied to the Windows clipboard. Therefore, if you paste outside
of an Office application, you will only paste what was copied or cut last.
Also if you copy or cut more than the permitted 12 selections to the Office
Clipboard, you will be asked whether the first item should be removed, or
whether the current item should not be copied.

----------
The Office Clipboard Toolbar

Copying or cutting more than one item activates the Office Clipboard, and it
appears on the screen as a small floating toolbar. This toolbar will remain

that the first time you encounter the Office Clipboard that you dock the
toolbar.

The Windows Clipboard

The Windows clipboard is where selected text or graphics are placed when you
press CTRL+C to copy, or CTRL+X to cut. Think of the clipboard as a holding

(Optical Character Recognition) tool provided with WinFax. To use this tool,
select the pages you would like to convert to readable text from the OCR
submenu under the Tools menu. Once you have selected the pages you would like
to view, you will be placed in an edit window where you can review and save
your document as readable text.

There are two ways to create fax cover pages from within WinFax. First choose
Cover Pages from the Go menu. Now you can choose to create an entirely new fax
cover page, or use the Quick Cover Page Wizard. The Quick Cover Page Wizard
will guide you through the steps of creating a simple cover page for your fax
documents. This is an easy way to create your cover pages. You can also choose
to create an entirely new cover page by selecting New Cover Page from the
record list. You can now choose to either add an existing cover page file, or
make a new one. When you choose to create a new cover page, select the Cover
Page Design Wizard from the radio buttons in the Cover Page Designer dialog.
This wizard will now walk you through all the steps necessary for creating a
new fax cover page. When you have finished creating your document, you will be
able to review and save it in the Cover Page Designer. However the window is
not editable.

Note:Please refer to the keyboard shortcuts section of this document for
keyboard shortcuts that can be useful in navigating in the cover page
designer.

Note:Unavailable, or grayed items in the Message Manager menus are not spoken.

The WinFax Pro Controller

The WinFax Pro Controller is also divided into two main sections. This is
because you can choose to send faxes in either one of two ways. The first
method is by using the Send Fax Wizard. This wizard is similar to many others
found in popular Windows applications. In the Send Fax Wizard you will be
walked through all the steps of creating a fax, how to create attachments, and
how to choose delivery options. The second method for sending a fax is by
using the WinFax Pro Send dialog. This dialog consists of one main page from
which you can select all the options necessary for sending a fax.

The Message Manager Line Status dialog

The Message Manager Line Status dialog is a dialog that will appear as you are
sending a fax. This dialog will give you information about the status of your
modem and the fax being sent.

The Welcome to Guided Setup Dialog

The Welcome to Guided Setup dialog appears when you select the Guided Setup
option from the Setup submenu under the Tools menu. Because this dialog is
very difficult to navigate, it is recommended you use the Program Setup option
in the Setup submenu under the Tools menu when configuring and selecting your
preferences for WinFax. The Program Setup dialog consists of a list box of
options you can choose to configure. Each one of these items will bring up a
multi-page dialog with controls for configuring that option.

Send Fax Wizard

When navigating in the first page of the Send Fax Wizard, it is not possible
to Tab to the Next or Cancel buttons. These controls can, however, be reached
by pressing SHIFTand using the TAB key to navigate to them. You can also use
the Windows keys ALT+N and ESC respectively.

In addition, there are certain controls within the Send Fax Wizard from which
the Windows keys, such as ALT+N for next, will not be effective. In this case,
Tab to the next control and try the keystroke again.

Navigation Quick Keys

Navigation Quick Keys for Word Perfect 12 and later provide you with an easy
and efficient way to move through a document. You can quickly move the
insertion point to a number of different page elements, including headings,
tables, form fields, pages, and more, with a single keystroke. Navigation
Quick Keys are automatically enabled while you are reading with the Say All
command. If you want to use this feature when not performing the Say All
command, do the following:

In Word Perfect, press INSERT+V, select "Navigation Quick Keys," and press the
SPACEBAR to choose "Quick Keys On." Alternatively, you can press INSERT+Z.
Use the keystrokes in the Word Perfect Navigation Quick Keys table to move the
insertion point to the next or previous element of the given type.

While Navigation Quick Keys are enabled, you cannot type text into the
document. In addition, you can only use the TAB key to move to the next form
field or table cell. To determine if Navigation Quick Keys are enabled, press
ALT+DELETE.
To turn off Navigation Quick Keys again, press ENTER. JAWS also turns off
Navigation Quick Keys if you switch to another document or program.

Using Navigation Quick Keys During Say All

When you use the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW), Navigation Quick Keys
are automatically enabled while JAWS is reading. You can use the Navigation
Quick Keys to skip ahead or move backward through the document by heading,
page, form field, bookmark, and so on. You can press CTRL to stop speech
normally. Alternatively, you can press ENTER to stop the Say All and turn on
Navigation Quick Keys.

Word Perfect Navigation Quick Keys

Tables

Special JAWS keystrokes allow you to easily read tables. For more information
see Using JAWS to Navigate Tables.

Screen Sensitive Help

Screen Sensitive Help provides status on the following WordPerfect
characteristics:

If you are in the main documents window
If the document is read-only
If you are in a table, Screen Sensitive Help also gives the coordinates and
name of the table
If Reveal Codes are active
If Type Over Mode is active
If Block Mode is active
If the document contains multiple text columns (such as newspaper style
columns)

Position Information

Position Information is a Verbosity Option set in the JAWS Configuration
Manager. At the Advanced level it is typically turned off. For WordPerfect
this setting is turned on. Position Information is useful when working in
tables. When your cursor moves to a new row or column you are informed. To
turn this feature off, activate the JAWS Configuration Manager while working
in WordPerfect. Select Verbosity Options from the Set Options menu. Press the
TAB key to move to the Advanced Preferences button. Press ENTER on that
button, and you can check or uncheck any of these checkboxes, including the
one for Position Information.

Verbosity Options

The following Verbosity items are off by default to minimize the amount that
JAWS speaks initially. When a user needs to hear more information about the
selected text, these features may be toggled on using the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog (INSERT+V).

Page and Column Detection


Style Detection


Table Detection


Language Detection


Border Detection


Page And Column Detection

This feature provides automatic detection and announcement of document page
breaks and column breaks. When Page or Column Break Detection is ON, you hear
information about new pages as you navigate from page to page within your
document. Also, if the document contains multiple text columns, such as
newspaper style columns, JAWS will announce the text column and the number of
columns, (for example, text column 1 of 2) and the column type (for example:
NewsPaper).

Style Detection

This feature provides automatic detection and announcement of document style
changes. When Style Detection is On, JAWS announces any new text styles it
encounters as the cursor moves through text. Table Style detection has also
been included. Before table Style detection will work, Table detection has to
be turned on. Style detection is turned OFF by default.

Table Detection

This feature provides detection and announcement of tables, row and column
focus, end and beginning of rows and columns. You will also be notified if a
cell contains a formula, the size of the table in columns and rows, and the
name of the Table.

Language Detection

When Language Detection and Automatic Language Switching are ON and you are
using Eloquence, as the cursor moves into a language supported by Eloquence,
the synthesizer automatically changes languages. If the synthesizer in use is
not Eloquence, or if Eloquence does not support the detected language, JAWS
only announces the language name in the message voice.

SayLine, SaySentence and SayParagraph honor language detection. If a language
change is detected during speech, JAWS either switches languages or announce
the detected language while speaking the current line, sentence, or paragraph.
This feature is turned OFF by default.

You must ensure that all foreign language dictionaries are installed prior to
enabling the Language Detection feature to avoid having the Install On Demand
dialogs appear while navigating, which could potentially cause JAWS to lose
speech.

Border Detection

This feature detects and describes text borders. When Border Detection is ON,
JAWS will tell you whenever the cursor enters an area with a border, and if
possible, give a description of that border. This feature is turned OFF by
default.

WordPerfect 10 Considerations

JAWS automatically turns off the PowerBar when you start WordPerfect 10 to
ensure documents are read correctly. Several JAWS commands require the
PowerBar. For these commands, JAWS turns the PowerBar on and closes it again
after the command has completed. The commands are:

Open Font combo box, CTRL+SHIFT+F
Point Size combo box, CTRL+SHIFT+P
Style combo Box, CTRL+SHIFT+S
Proofing tools as you go, CTRL+SHIFT+M - These include Spell checking, Grammar
checking, and Thesaurus.
For WordPerfect 10, JAWS graphics verbosity is set to labeled graphics. If you
change this to all graphics, this may result in extra information being spoken
when you move to a blank line. This may also occur in WordPerfect 9.
