Kes: OneDrive was initially a little aggravating to set up, but paid off last night when I was updating an old laptop and found all my files were already right there

Every Shortcut You Need for the Microsoft OneDrive Windows 10 App

I've had the opportunity to learn a lot this summer, via webinars, free online classes, and one on one instruction from David Kingsbury himself, but the main lesson I have learned is that I need to keep reviewing and refreshing all that technical knowledge.

From relearning Jaws and Windows commands to my current project of refreshing my knowledge of website design and using the UNIX command line, I'm relearning a lot.

Seriously, how many hundreds, maybe a thousand or more, keyboard commands do blind computer users typically need to know? There's no shame in going back to the basics and recognizing all those useful commands you've forgotten. Sometimes you even remember whole new subjects you always meant to learn, and is there a better time for that than now?

Okay, I'm putting away the soapbox now.

Here's the info for listening to David through ACB Radio or joining the webinar:

Main Menu Live: 8pm ET, 5pm PT, 2pm HT
Please join the Main Menu Live team as we talk all about authoring in the digital age. We first welcome the Carroll Center’s David Kingsbury who has written two books all about the web and formatting documents in Word. Which browser are you using today and which one should you use? Learn more from David’s book When One Web Browser Is Not Enough: A Guide for Windows Screen Reader Users. We then turn to publishing and the art of producing your content. We talk with David about his book Format Your Word Documents with JAWS and NVDA: A Guide for Students and Professionals. We also ask David about his process of producing his books to ensure they meet the needs of his audience. In the second hour we speak with Michael Feir, the author of Personal Power; The iOS Edition. We talk about the publishing business from an accessibility perspective. Is it possible for a blind individual to produce a professional looking document? What tools and techniques are being used to accomplish this task if it is possible? Can one publish in multiple accessible formats?

Many of the major word processing programs now offer templates for creating accessible docs and, due to people now working and learning from home, there have been many recently updated guides to producing documents in accessible formats. Here's a list of resources.
Templates that help you make your content accessible to everyone are now available on Templates.Office.com. You can find them by searching for "accessible templates" or you can use the following query:
