Jaws and Word 13 Really Weird Issue
JERRY MARTIN
Morning all.
Using Jaws 2018, MS Word 13 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop, I experienced
a really weird issue.
As per the posts on creating addresses for labels, I wanted to test the
theory outs. So, I took a blank document, typed in the return address, went down
a few lines, typed the destination address, then pressed alt m. This brought up
the mailings tab. I went down to envelopes and pressed enter. Jaws stopped
speaking, and word shut down.
So, I reopened Word, went through the process again, JAWS stopped talking
for a few minutes, and then jaws came up stating JAWS was installing. So, I let
it go through its process, and after a few minutes of nonaction, I shut down my
laptop. Then I restarted it, and everything is as it was before the start of
this merry-go-round. Any ideas/suggestions as to why this is? Again, really
weird.

Typically on HP ink jet printers,the envelope would go in with the flap facing up and pointing to the right, and on laser printers the flap would be facing down and pointing to the right. Where the envelope is positioned in the paper tray will depend on the model, in my old HP, the envelope was positioned in the right side of the paper tray oriented as mentioned above, but in my newer printer, the paper has to be removed and the envelope guide must be used to center the envelope in the paper tray.

I have created a very long document and spellchecking it is proving a real pain. Occasionally the spellchecker will come up with something and I want to then come out of the spellcheck and look at the document but I’m stuck there. The only way of escaping seems to be to press f4 and exit the document entirely and then go back in. Any suggestons? Alison

When I arrow up / down to highlight / select a

If I route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor is the only way Jaws will read the
soundcards by their correct names as Realtek or Soundblaster.
I've tinkered with screen resolution and made
sure the screen was maximized, but J2019 is the only Jaws version that I have

speakers for either soundcard.
All input and advice will be greatly

Re: J2019 & Soundcards

Hi Glenn,
Yes I did and no luck. The only thing that
works is the Jaws to PC cursor route.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!

Did you try going left and right?
I know in control panel in some other devices, they
are left and right and if there are like 4 or 5, it starts a new line, which you
would find with down arrow.
HTH.

Subject: [jaws-users] J2019 & Soundcards Hi All,
Running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit with J16 thru J2019
all the latest Jaws builds. For whatever reason J2019 will not read the
names of my soundcards in either the, System Tray / Speakers / Playback devices
or the, Control Panel / Sounds / Playback devices.
When I arrow up / down to highlight / select a
soundcard to work with Jaws won't read anything, just announces, Speakers.
If I route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor is the only way Jaws will read the
soundcards by their correct names as Realtek or Soundblaster.
I've tinkered with screen resolution and made
sure the screen was maximized, but J2019 is the only Jaws version that I have
installed that won't identify the soundcard names at all, just reports
speakers for either soundcard.
All input and advice will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks mooy moocho.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!

Hi Victor,

I don't recall what it was right off, was it available for XP and those versions of Jaws? HTH, Rick Justice "Tomorrow's another day, another way!" "and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!"

I'm sure it'll come to me at some point. LOL.

It???s been a while, at least ten or more years-ago. Victor From: Mike B Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2019 12:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@groups.io Subject: Re: [jaws-users] How to Have JAWS speech at Start-up and Shutdown Hi Victor, I learned about the Stascom Suite several months ago and just installed it to try it out a couple of months ago. If it was introduced as far back as XP I don't have a clue. If it's on the Jaws-Users website I don't have a clue as to what it's called, but it's not under the, Utilities, heading as, Stascom, or at least my search didn't find it using the Stascom name on the Programs page.
