[blindlaw] Issues using Jaws and Westlaw in the last 24 hours.

[Luis Mendez]

Good morning:

Has anyone tried performing the copy and paste function  using  a
specialized research application such as One Note.  I tried Evernote for
Windows but found that application inaccessible using JAWS and not much
better with NVDA.  One Note seems promising , but I haven't worked with the
new Windows version yet.

Luis

My workaround has been to copy and paste into Notepad and then italicize the
citation once pasted into Microsoft Word. Definitely not as handy as direct
copy and paste.

I have restarted my computer, and this works pretty well, though not every
time. JAWS-users, you may be aware that JAWS has a memory leak issue.
Coupled with Microsoft's operating system inefficiencies, the computer
performs worse through a length of time. I also find it helpful to copy and
paste into Note Pad, since it is such a simple word processor and therefore
editing and/or deleting unwanted text is easier and faster. Plus, Note Pad
tends to be more stable than Word--again, these are more problems with
Microsoft.

Anyone who has had the copying issue, have you found any workarounds? So far
screaming and hitting the computer have not worked.
