 Answers on How to Use Windows
7<http://blindgeteducated.blogspot.com/2011/10/answers-on-how-to-use-windows-7.html>
 When you are using Windows 7, every time you hit the start key, think of it
as entering a huge search engine for your computer. Any word you type in,
Windows 7 will find.

Your Start Key or Windows Key is the second key in on the left of a desktop
keyboard (the key with the windows symbols picture on it). For sighted
people it is the round button you most likely click on at the bottom left
hand corner of the screen.

Let's do some keystrokes to see how fast Windows 7 is:
Hit the start key and type in: volume and down arrow to adjust system volume
or what is applicable to your version of Windows 7. Enter on the volume and
your options open. Up and down arrow to adjust the volume. Hit ESC --top
right hand corner on keyboard to get out of the volume

Hit the start key again and type: documents and down arrow to documents and
enter to open--down arrow through all the documents you have already created
on your computer
ALT+F4 to close the documents folder

Hit the start key again and type in the name of a file on your computer,
down arrow to find the file and enter to open it. The file opens.
ALT+F4 to close the file

You can search for anything on your computer with that START Key....it is
very powerful. Now go have some fun and look for other things on your
computer using the Start key.

If you would like to learn how to use Windows 7 and Office products using
just the keyboard or keystrokes with JAWS, go to
yourtechvision.com<http://www.yourtechvision.com/>and go through the
site either with a mouse or with JAWS using Insert+F7.
You can move through your options easily on every page, using your TAB key.

If you don't see a lesson you want, just go to the contacts page and request
a particular lesson you need and it will be added to the site.
