Hi Eleanor,
There is a simplified way you can take a screen shot of an error message
or
something like that with jaws but of course not a graphical picture. When
I
get error messages sometimes I use a jaws key combination of "control +
Insert + w" which kind of virtualises the screen that the error is on and
then I am able to use the select all command followed by the copy command
and then the paste command. It works reasonably well but is limited.
Paul.

Very interesting Paul. As someone with some vision and one (as you know)
always asking questions related to my computer, I find using a screen shot
invaluable to assist people who are sighted so see what I am seeing on
screen. This way I can send it in an e-mail attachment and they can tell
me
what is happening. It is invaluable when I get error messages. As a
Supernova user I have wanted to show people the very limited screen I see
when the magnification is on. Again within Supernova it is possible to
take
a screen shot of the magnified screen. In fact Dolphin Support often
encourage their users to send them a magnified screen shot to assist. I
know that with JAWS being a speech ony screen reader this will not apply.

Hi Eleanor,
"Could somebody give advice if the following is possible using JAWS 8.
1.
A screenshot/taken a picture of your computer screen and placing it in a
microsoft word document"
This would be very difficult if not impossible for a person using a
screen
reader. You would not be able to determine the regions of the picture nor
the actual contents of this image if you managed to take it into word.
I use the process of taking a "print screen shot" from time to time but
my
only way of guessing if I was successful is that when I paste the print
screen graphic into word. I then determine if I was successful by where
the
cursor lies now on the word screen, depending on how big the screen shot
will be determined by how many lines down the word page I end up after
the
paste process. This is messy and not something I recommend to people.
"2. Cropping Screenshots/ to show a small section of the page using the
previous screenshot in which cropping the picture to size."
Again I would say this is impossible as like I mentioned previously, if
you
don't know where regions of a printed screen shot are then you cannot
know
where to begin selecting and cropping.
Paul.
