Hi,

The setting you are likely talking about is document presentation.  It has two settings of simple layout and screen layout.  You can get to it from the quick settings you mentioned with ins+v.

Here is the description of the feature.

This option controls how JAWS formats virtual documents.
Select Simple Layout to have links, form fields, buttons, and other page controls display on a separate line. This is the default setting if Smart Navigation is not enabled. 
Select Screen Layout to have pages rendered in the virtual buffer in a way that is similar to what a sighted user sees on the screen. If page controls visually appear on the same line, then they will appear on the same line in the virtual buffer. In addition, all items in a single table row display on the same line. Table cells are separated by a vertical bar.
Screen Layout is used when Smart Navigation is set to Controls or Controls and Tables and cannot be changed while Smart Navigation is active.

Subject: [VICUG-L] looking for the name of a setting in JAWS

I'm looking for the name of a setting in JAWS so that I can change it. It relates to how tables are displayed, at least on the Internet. Right now, all the columns are shown on the same line, but I'd prefer each column to be shown on a separate line.  So right now, it's set to show the screen in kind of the way a sighted person would see it.  This may just be a Braille setting, but I'm not even sure about that. I've tried doing an ins-v when in a table in Firefox and checking for the word "table," but none of the settings that get displayed are what I'm looking for.  Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance.
Rachel
