  It gave no indication of anywhere to do a save.  I selected the Daisy player. 

   

  I will try to research it more tomorrow.

   

  Thanks,

  Hi,

   

  You should have been asked during download process to select a folder to save 
it to.  Also after opening the .exe file you would had to select location to 
install this training program or select the default location. Perhaps it can be 
found under JAWS help (Training), destop or in the all programs list. 

   

  Before you downloaded the applicationyou should have selected from two( 2)two 
types of downloads, either MP3 or Daisy players.

    Thanks.

     

    I found the excel column and row headers link and hit the save button.  It 
then brought up an .exe file  which I went ahead and opened since It did not 
say save again.  I don't know where to find it now though.  

     

    Can you tell me where I go to read it?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Eileen

    Hi,

     

    Here is the direct link for the download specific to your request. It is 
not part of the JAWS basic training.

      I checked and it appears that I did not install the training when I did 
the upgrade.  I looked at the list of training sessions and they do not specify 
what they are to download.  

       

      Would it be possible for you to just email me the list of steps or would 
that be too difficult?  

       

      Or is there an easier way to look at that one training session without 
downloading all the training sessions?

       

      Thanks,

       

      Eileen

      Hi Eileen,  FS has a training module on how to set up the column and row 
title reading.  It is done within excel rather than with jaws.  It works really 
well.  you can find it on the FS training site and is called "excel column and 
row headers".  I just set up my time sheet with it.  The advantage is that it 
is in the spreadsheet so if you upgrade jaws or need to use a different machine 
jaws will still read the headers.  

      If you have trouble finding it let me know and I can try and help.

      Regards

      Tom Bisset

          I had to do an upgrade to JFW version 12 5 2 5 and in the process I 
lost the JAWS options that I had set up for my timesheet.  

           

          I want JAWS to read the column name as I go across the row and the 
row name as I go up the columns.

           

          In the past I had changed the JFW option window (insert plus v) with 
the following changes and with my cursor being in the A6 cell:

           

          Title reading  on

          Column titles to row  6

          Row titles to columns A

           

          However, this is not working.  Is there something else that I need to 
change?
