Re: PDF t9 Word keeping footnotes Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...> #43058 See my reply. Scanned are generally just pictures, so obviously an ocr is the only way to go. However if you have contact with the document supplier and they do not understand how to make pdfs accessible and how to make comments editable etc, it might be easier for them to simply send you the original docx files that they made them with instead, or they will need to be using the paid for pdf Adobe suite of software to make them accessible. They could be using any old third party tool or word itself to make them and hence it would be fare easier to send them as word in the first place. From experience the only reason they site for using pdf is that they do not want people changing content, but in the case of a blind user, if they cannot create an accessible pdf, the use of word would seem to be a logical adjustment to make.

Re: PDF t9 Word keeping footnotes Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...> #43057 Yes there are a considerable number of clueless people in education industry and in fact many walks of life who feel that just creating a picture off text is OK as they can see the letters. You also get files formatted as if it were in a newspaper but where they have not tagged the changes in reading order as the columns etc change in the file. if I had a ten pound not for every pdf I've had where page one is perfect but the rest is gibberish I would be a rich man!

Re: Problem with Skype Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...> #43056 Yes this seems to happen with other programs on windows 10. Usually after a major update.

I'm using windows 10 64 bit and skype the last version. but when someone cals me, skype keeps ringing also when I've already answered the call. when I hang up, skype keeps ringing!!! the only way to stop it is in the taskmanager or reboot my computer! what to do to solve this problem: 1 now you have installed an older version. when you try to log in, skype geves you the message can not connect. what to do, go in skype in the menu, by pressing alt. go to help and there search for look for new version or such. download and install that new version. be carefull, there are checkboxes you have to uncheck, else there is a change in all of your using browsers, your homepage will be changed etc. so it's better to uncheck that checkboxes. with the new version, you can log in as usual. when you've done, close skype. now take your older version of skype. now you install that older version, without remove the new version!!!!! the skype installer tells you that the version you ar installing an older version is. continu anyway? it is yes. remember, leave that older version somewhere in the download folder. you will definitely need that in the future, I explain why. skype will now start and log in normally! and now with the older version that has nothing to do with. you have to save the installation file, because it can go well for months but then suddenly, he can no longer log in. then do the same trick again. then it works again. hope this helps paul otter Op 11-7-2018 om 20:34 schreef Marco Oros: Hi!

Re: why is thunderbird marking all new messages as read?

Rosemarie, Are you, by any chance, arrowing down through the list of messages in your inbox? If so, double check that your preview pane (or whatever Thunderbird calls it) is not turned on. The default settings in Thunderbird will mark messages as read after something like 5 seconds of being displayed in the preview pane or being opened in a separate tab for reading. If the preview pane has accidentally been turned on this could be your problem when you slowly cruise through your inbox. I believe that F8 will toggle the preview pane off and on. You can also check View menu, Layout, Message Pane. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 A little kindness from person to person is better than a vast love for all humankind. ~ Richard Dehmel

Re: Recognising highlighted text in word document by NVDA Quentin Christensen #43047 Hi there, While there isn't an NVDA command for this, it is possible in Word: 1) Press CONTROL+H (This is the replace command, but it ensures the dialog opens, rather than the task pane) 2) Press ALT+M to activate the "More" button to show more options (if already activated the button becomes "Less" and alt+m doesn't do anything further). 3) Press ALT+O to open the Format button / menu. 4) Press H to select "Highlight". (Note this is a toggle, so if you follow all these steps again it will turn off looking for highlighted text). 5) Press ALT+F to find the next piece of highlighted text. 6) Press ESCAPE to exit the find / replace dialog. The text will be selected. You can read it with NVDA+SHIFT+UP ARROW or NVDA+SHIFT+S to read the selected text or navigate and edit as desired. 7) Press CONTROL+PAGE DOWN to move to the next piece of highlighted text or CONTROL+PAGE UP to move to the previous piece of highlighted text.

Re: NVDA and Focus40 or other Braille displays Jason White #43039 It mostly works, especially if you install the BrailleExtender add-on to provide translation table switching and a myriad of additional braille display commands. If I suspend the laptop, resume from suspend mode, and log in, the Focus display is lost immediately after log-in and I have to re-initialize the driver with NVDA+k (a command provided by BrailleExtender). Other than that and some translation table issues, it works very well.
