[nfbcs] SharePoint

[Louis Maher]

Hi Tracy,

SharePoint is not that bad.  From the webpage, you can choose a view that
makes the document library appear as a windows explorer list view structure
which allows you to access and cut and paste files easily.  

You can also map your SharePoint to a disk drive to make the entire library
be a windows explorer view as follows:

Map a SharePoint Website to a Disk Drive 

To establish a link to a SharePoint site through Windows Explorer, go to the
SharePoint website, hit alt+d for the address field, hit control + c to copy
the address into your clipboard, hit Windows + e to go to Windows Explorer,
hit shift + tab to  bring you to the left side of the screen (in tree view)
and land on computer (which is my  PC in Windows 8), click the right mouse
button, arrow down to Map Network drive, hit enter,  paste the SharePoint
shortcut name into the folder field, hit shift + tab and select a  drive,
tab to "reconnect at startup and check it, tab to finish.  

Now when you want to read or add documents to your SharePoint site, hit
Windows + r for the run dialog, enter your SharePoint disk letter, and your
SharePoint documentation will appear in a Windows Explorer dialog.  You can
open, copy, and delete files just like any Windows Explorer dialog.

Subject: [nfbcs] Sharepoint

When my department starts implementing a new system later this year, we will
be using Sharepoint to coordinate documentation, they say.  I gather there
are problems with Sharepoint accessibility?  How hard is it work around the
problems, using the latest version of Jaws?  Is it likely to be a little
hard, a pain in the neck, or a complete access disaster?
The older I get, the more I understand why so many blind people just throw
up their hands and give up. We've had a stretch where access was pretty
good, but now things are getting harder again.
Tracy
