[NOBE-L] Jaws question

Thu Jul 4 02:12:26 UTC 2019

Hello Kathy,

I am also having difficulty with Google Docs.

I am currently using Firefox.  

I am reading

Downloading in Other Formats
If you are in a google docs file:
At times, you may want to download a file in a format other than Google Docs. Perhaps you are sharing a file with someone who only uses Microsoft Word, for example. To do this, access the Files menu with Alt plus Shift plus F, use the Up or Down Arrow key to find the Download As submenu, and press the Right Arrow key to open it. Press Enter on the file type to which you would like to save, and press Enter. You then have a standard file download prompt similar to what you find when downloading any other file.

I have other issues with the Chrome Browser.

Lewis, I am interested in this concept. What keystrokes do I do in a Google sheet, which I believe falls under Google Chrome, to find “save as” and select a different format? I am also someone who has always use Internet explorer so don’t know the chrome movements yet either. Pretty much, I am a disaster meeting emergency services, but I am redeemable! :-)

Grace and Peace,

Kathy Nimmer and Nacho

Kathy,

Can you download the google sheet as an Excel file and do with it what you need to?

Kathy,

Learning curves can be difficult. I am experiencing some myself right now.

If I were you, I would use google sheets like other teachers, so you are not creating more work for yourself by putting it into word. Commands are similar to jaws commands in excel. You can look them up in jaws helps or on the internet. I am learning how to do this for my job right now too, so you are not alone in this.

Best regards,
Mikaela

Last year, I selected all of each teachers information in the row of that sheet, pasted it into a word doc, and rearranged it. Window Eyes allowed me to do that without a problem; it did not carry over any table features in the pasting, just some extra tabs that I could easily delete. However, when trying it with Jaws, the pasting retained the table format, and I could not figure out how to get rid of that table format. I could not manipulate the info. Four instance, the Google sheet has last name in one cell and first name in the next cell; even when pasted into the word doc, I could not figure out how to maneuver that information with any copy/paste attempt.
