Is it possible for you to switch to Mozilla Firefox to get that information while downloading?

Re: Using Adobe Digital Edition Reader with NVDA

Shaun Everiss
 

You only need to use the app to download the epub it should appear in your documents folder I think its under ebooks or something I forgot where exactly anyway once you find where the extracted epub is you can use codex on it and then you can make that into any file you want to read text, html, word even kindle.
codex is at www.jscholes.net/projects/codex and is a calibre frontend using calibre as its engine.

I thought the idea was to download it itself and install it itself.

Re: Headers in Microsoft Word

Gene
 

Commands such as control o, control n, etc. that bypass menus and ribbons often work.  Shortcuts that rely on menus generally don't work in ribbon programs.  And, as I said, the kind of short cuts such as control o, control n, etc. aren't actually shortcuts, even though most people call them short cuts.  They are accellerator commands.

It may also be worth mentioning that the shortcut is a toggle to open

Most 2003 shortcuts still work in ribbon versions.

Using Adobe Digital Edition Reader with NVDA

Amber Pearcy
 

Hi all,

One of my textbooks is an Adobe Digital Edition, and it seems that I have to use Adobe's Digital Edition reader to access it. I can see the table of contents, but I can't access anything beyond that. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I am getting further behind with each day that I cannot figure this app out! :(

I should have said the command is likely not to work if you are using a ribbon version.  I don't use word so I can't check.

Unless you are using a version of word with menus, it won't work.  What are technically called accelerator commands, which allow you to do something by bypassing menus or ribbons still mostly work.  Commands such as control for open, for example.  Ribbon programs have one menu.  In that menu, some things work as before in terms of short cut commands.  You can probably open the save as dialog with alt f a.  But that's because that command is in the menu and Microsoft intentionally preserved the old short cut sequence.

Re: offtopic: please sign the petition: Telegram should be accessible for visually impaired

Yes, I wrote to them a couple of years ago, and the answer sounded more or less like "we can't be bothered".


I wouldn't waste my time with devs likethose.

If you want a fair alternative to Whatsapp, try Signal.


When I last used it, it was very accessible. It's a lot more private, and Whatsapp themselves use the encryption system developed by the devs of Signal...


If Telegram can't be bothered with us, why bother with them?

Hi Chris

There is no such thing as  a silly question. I will respond more fully off-list if you like, but in this instance, my question refers to looking up references once you have them.

Thank you for your note about Word. I did not know this..

I shall write you with a more complete answer off-list.

Is this for generating the sitations, and bibliographies, or is it more for actually looking references up? I ask as, doesn't MS Word give you an option to generate sitations? I'm sorry if I'm totally off kilter here for what this is used for, if you're not using the word sitation in this context that I speak of. Honestly, I'm very very ignorant when it comes to this, but creating sitations, and siting my sources on things has always been something I've taken extremely seriously, so I figured there isn't a dumb question, so thought I'd ask.

Re: Attach to email

Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgilland07@...>
 

There are way too many variables in this to fairly be able to answer correctly at this point in time.
 
For example, What website are you using? What type file format are you using, and is that filetype supported by the website? What version of Windows are you running, and finally, this so called website you're using, is it a webmail based system, or is it just a website in general you're trying to attach a file to? You said e-mail, so I'm assuming! it's a webmail type thing.
 
What e-mail client are you using for this purpose?

You are evidently using a web site to send e-mail.  You don't tell us which one.  What you are describing is not the standard way such dialogs work.  I assume that after you press the add attachment button, a dialog comes up.  If so, shift tab once or if necessary twice.  You will be in a list of folders and files as you are in My Computer.  Move back through the list with the back space.  Move forward by pressing enter on something such as a folder.  Find the file you want and press enter. 
 
I've almost never added an attachment using a web site but that should be all you have to do.  As I said, I've almost never done this but I believe that you will have to allow time for the attachment to upload, if it is at all large.  I haven't done this enough to know if you are notified on the page when the attachment has finished uploading.

- Navigate to the address bar so I can type in the folder address, such as C:\downloads

- Navigate back to the list of files so I can search for the right file and select it for upload.

 

Can anyone please tell me how I can do this?
