<div>Hi April, are you using a desktop or a laptop? If you’re using a
laptop, sometimes there is a key called the f n key that you have to hold down
to make key comonations work, like alt f4 for instance, alt f4 is usually used
to close programs, and let’s say you’re in a browser, since some times web pages
open in windows from inside the browser windo, you would use control f4 to close
the window. Now, some times it can get tricky when new web pages open, if
you don’t pay attention, and you do alt f4 you’ll close the browser out
altogether, internet explorer will warn </div>

<div style="FONT:10pt tahoma">
<div><font face="Calibri" size="3">you of this but I don’t know if fire fox
does. Also, if you use alt tab and alt shift tab, you can cycle through
all the different programs/windows you have open. Alt tab will move you
forward through everything, and alt shift tab will move you backwards. Did
you know about these combonations? Just remember, it’s very important,
that you hold the alt key down firmly when you try to do these combonations,
otherwise they will not work. Let me know if you have anymore
questions.</font></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'">Following
advice, I've tried to learn to use a computer with just a keyboard. I
don't get it. I can't open or close anything. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'">With
the trial JAWs program, I tried to use both Firefox and Safari with just the
keyboard. I had the 11 page keyboard guide open. And none of the commands
worked on either browser. They worked in Word and
PDF.<i><u></u><u></u></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'"><u></u><u></u></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'">I have
no idea what "key" I am missing. I am sure it is some silly something that
I'm supposed to toggle on or off to do it, and everyone else in the world knows
how without being told.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'"><u></u><u></u></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'">So
far, the biggest problem I can see with JAWs, other than not being able to
configure it for the browsers, is the volume. With my massive hearing loss
as well, and the volume at 100%, it sounds like a whisper. Is it worth my
time to learn this program, if I can't hear the speakers? My hearing and
comprehension is rapidly decreasing. I'm going to ask on the deaf blind
group what they use. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
