Thanks Bob, Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Verity To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 11:22 AM Subject: Re: writing a CD using send function Judith, A useful function is the JAWS keyboard help function. Press insert plus the 1 on the number row not the 1 on the numeric pad. With this function turned on you can freely explore the keyboard to find out what each key does with out sending any keystrokes to your running application. Hitting the key twice quickly will give you expanded information about that key or key combination. Another tip is to put your keyboard in help mode when you go away from your computer. Then when you return to the computer if you accidentally hit a key it will not be passed to any running application except the JAWS keyboard help function. To exit keyboard help just hit the insert plus the 1 key on the number row once again.

Can you resend it from your sent items folder?

Someone could correct me on this though.

Anyone have the directions for this?

Second, yes, I hear that you can create either a data or audio disk, but only if music-type files exist in the first place. Someone could correct me on this though, as I have Roxio Creator Basic V9 here on this machine. Hope that helps. P.S. Talking of Roxio Creator Basic, does anyone use this programme with JAWS? If not can you suggest of an accessible, preferably free or inexpensive, alternative? Thanks in advance.

Also, will the wizard give you the choice of creating a data or music CD? Thanks for this suggestion as I have never tried this method.

So once you have the files, you right click the CD drive and select write these files to CD. The CD writing wizard will then appear. Just follow the instructions and your files will be written successfully. Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith Bron To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 5:23 PM Subject: writing a CD using send function A person sent me this message yesterday as an alternative for writing a CD: "Just highlight the folder and initiate a right click option to select Send to CD " In his next message he said just highlight the folder I want to copy and right click. Can anyone tell me how to use this function to create a CD? Judith Chris Hallsworth BrailleNote mPower User Website: www.chrishallsworth.co.nr
