hi john
it won't work.
how fast i press it makes no difference it still types and jaws reads back as
lower case
but never mind
ideally what i would of preferred would of been to enable the num lock key to
be used instead of the caps lock key but i saw no choice of num lock in the 3
choices that were offered

Yvonne, whenever you want to turn caps lock on, in order to type in all
uppercase, you now need to press the caps lock key twice quickly, rather than
just once. This is because you're now also using the caps lock key as the JAWS
key.
Cheers.
John

hello john
thank you for reply
not long after asking how i revert back to lower case being spoken when
typing anything my internet dropped it's connection and jaws stopped speaking
for a while.
jaws does this often.
when i make loads of key presses jaws will stop speaking and i normally have
to restart the computer.
i have no idea why it does this.
however after restarting the computer jaws now speaks in a lower case mode
unless the shift key is held down.
but since changing the insert key to caps lock when i press caps lock it does
not say caps lock and i cannot type everything in upper case.
don't know if the reason for not all being in upper case is because i have
configured the caps lock key to be used as the jaws key but anyway i have
managed to change it
so thank you for your help
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne. When you want to use the caps lock for its standard purpose,
press it twice quickly.
Cheers.

HELLO JOHN
THANK YOU FOR THIS
I DID THAT AND OK APART FROM ONE THING
I NOW HAVE EVERYTHING BEING TYPED AND SPOKEN IN UPPER CASE
TO HAVE LOWER CASE I HAVE TO PRESS SHIFT KEY
THIS IS REVERSED TO HOW IT SHOULD BE SO HOW WOULD I SET IT BACK TO ORIGINAL
MODE.
IN OTHER WORDS SO THAT UPPER CASE IS ONLY SPOKEN WHEN I PRESS CAPSLOCK OR
USE THE SHIFT KEY
THANK YOU
Yvonne

Yvonne, you can choose Numpad Insert, Caps Lock or Scroll Lock to be the
JAWS key for the desktop layout. For JAWS V12, you configure this by going to
the settings centre with JAWS+6. Then select the default application. Then go
to the keyboard node in the tree and open it. Arrow down to, JAWS key for
desktop layout. Press space until the required key is spoken. Then tab to OK
and press Enter.
If you have JAWS 11 or earlier, go to Configuration Manager with JAWS+6,
then select the default application with Ctrl+Shift+d. I think you then go to
the Settings menu with Alt+S, arrow down to Keyboard and hit Enter. You should
then see a dialog which includes a set of radio buttons called, JAWS key for
desktop layout. Choose the required radio button and hit OK. Finally, exit
Configuration Manager with Alt+F4 and choose Yes to save your changes.
Hope this helps.
John

hi
i would like to change the jaws key to something else as i use the
numeric keypad frequently.
i keep forgetting to change from num loc on and off.
can someone tell me how to change the key?
and of course can it be reversed back to the zero on the numeric keypad
if i feel this was not such a good idea to change it.
1 last question is there any keys i can't use?
i would like to use the caps lock key as this is rarely used for anything
thank you
Yvonne

Hi everybody, re the recent post about inability to access the ice
grips page on the blacktoe website. I assume the person is using IE8. If you
add the site to compatibility view in the tools menu it works fine.
John.
