Hi PaulCould you elaborate on what you are saying here. Is there a way to cut and paste error messages or am I getting the wrong end of the stick.

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 Iget 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.

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 onscreen. This way I can send it in an e-mail attachment and they can tell mewhat 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 seewhen the magnification is on. Again within Supernova it is possible to takea 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.

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 screenreader. 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 butmyonly 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 wherethecursor lies now on the word screen, depending on how big the screen shotwill be determined by how many lines down the word page I end up after thepaste 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, ifyoudon't know where regions of a printed screen shot are then you cannot knowwhere to begin selecting and cropping.
