Hi Mario,<br>
<br>
My laptop doesn't have a num pad. What's the shortcut for the Jaws<br>
cursor for computers without num pads?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Serena<br>

It's the minus key; the top right key if you have a standard keypad. To<br>
return to normal mode, aka the PC cursor, just press the key below the<br>
minus key known as the plus key. These two keys, the numpad plus and<br>
minus keys are one way toggles; either PC cursor mode is on or JAWS<br>
cursor is on. It is adviseable not to keep the JAWS cursor on as you<br>
use<br>
the computer in daily tasks.<br>

What's the key stroke to switch to the Jaws cursor? I'll try that the<br>
next time Jaws isn't reading a .pdf file.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Some big documents take a while to open, and Jaws doesn't say<br>
anything while<br>
they're opening. Sometimes hitting tab will say a percentage,<br>
but not<br>
always.<br>
But, today I opened a pdf, and all Jaws would say is "blank". I<br>
switched to<br>
the Jaws cursor and looked around, and there was a free trial<br>
offer<br>
which<br>
might have been covering the document. I had to close and<br>
open the<br>
file 3<br>
times before it would read. I looked for the thing about new<br>
version that<br>
was causing problems before, but it wasn't there.<br>
<br>
Sometimes, if Jaws isn't reading, I do alt-e to go to Edit,<br>
arrow up to<br>
Preferences, hit enter, choose Reading Preferences, and look<br>
to make<br>
sure<br>
that the screen reader options are there. Sometimes that<br>
makes Jaws<br>
behave<br>
better.<br>

Subject: [NJTechDiv] JAWS cannot read a PDF in Acrobat<br>
<br>
When pressing the enter key on a PDF file, it is opened in <br>
Acrobat<br>
but JAWS<br>
remains silent.<br>
<br>
By starting Acrobat and pressing the alt key does give me<br>
access to the<br>
menubar and allows me to right arrow to the edit, view, and other<br>
menus.<br>
<br>
What settings need to be adjusted in JAWS or adjustments need<br>
to be<br>
done to<br>
Acrobat to display a PDF's contents so JAWS can read the text?<br>
<br>
I can use Firefox and the Recognize with JAWS OCR feature to<br>
open the<br>
contents of the PDF, but I'd prefer to use Acrobat.<br>
<br>
Clear directions please.<br>
<br>
