Personalized Web Settings using JAWS

To set temporary PlaceMarkers:

  1. Open the Web page for which you want to set PlaceMarkers.
  2. Move to the location, where you want to set PlaceMarker.
  3. Press Ctrl + K to set a temporary PlaceMarker.
Note

JAWS enables you to set only one temporary PlaceMarker for a Web page. However you can move to another location on the Web page and set the next temporary PlaceMarker, but the previously set temporary PlaceMarker will get overwritten.

Only the last temporary PlaceMarker being set before exiting the Web page is saved.

To set permanent PlaceMarkers:

  1. Open the Web page for which you want to set PlaceMarkers.
  2. Move to the location, where you want to set PlaceMarker.
  3. Press Ctrl + Shift + K to open the PlaceMarker list dialog box.
  4. Click the Add button. The Add PlaceMarker dialog box appears.
  5. Type the name for your PlaceMarker in the Name edit field and click OK

You can also share your PlaceMarker information. The PlaceMarker information is saved under the JAWS\settings\enu folder with the .pmi file extension.

The .pmi file contains the filename of the Web page for which PlaceMarker is set. For example, if you have set PlaceMarkers on Net Systems Informatics Website, they will be saved with the filename www.n-syst.com.pmi.

When the settings packager is used to share PlaceMarker information, JAWS will ask you to provide description for PlaceMarkers. You can press the Skip button, to close the Add PlaceMarker Description dialog, if you are not willing to provide description.

 

Custom Page Summary

How often it happens, that you set PlaceMarker for Web page and do not visit the Web page for a longtime? At that time, you would wish that you can view all the PlaceMarkers you have set for the Web page. With JAWS 5.10, you can use custom page summary to list all the PlaceMarkers and the text associated with them on a Web page.

When JAWS is set to speak the custom page summary, it becomes easy for you to find out the changes made to the content, for which you had set the PlaceMarker.

You can set JAWS to turn on or off the custom page summary. In addition, you can set JAWS to read the custom page summary in a different window. You can change the custom page summary options only for a particular Web page or for all the web pages.

For setting custom page summary options for a single web page use the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box.
