Rowena,, that is a quote Bear Trap" of a question... a good question, but I am a poor person to ask. But here goes... Basically,, it is a program in DRAGON NATURALLY SPEAKING which allows a sighted person to place the mouse where ever . They desire. It divides the screen into sections like a tic-tac-toe game, with a starting number one in the upper left corner in the last section in the lower right corner number 9 number 5 of course is in the middle. You use it by calling up a number. An example would be the command "mouse grid 5". This would bring up a box) or the center of the tick tack toe) in the center of your screen. This box in turn would appear divided into nine sections, and so on and so on. Thus, a person who is unable to use their hands would be able to utilize the mouse feature on a computer. I hope this roughly explains how the" Mouse Grid" function operates...

When my Microsoft Outlook first comes up, it is not in focus. I just used these three commands: 1. "Mouse Grid" 2. "Mouse Click" 3. "Press Home" The first command ensures that your mouse is not going to cause a change that you don't want, the second command brings Outlook into focus, and the third moves the cursor to the first message.

I have tried:- 1. The command ‘Open Outlook’ 2. Navigating through the start menu using the mouse and also via speech commands Outlook is in focus when it loads but once fully loaded it loses focus. Does anybody know what could be causing this issue? The software installed is as follows:- Dragon 9.1 SP1 Jaws 7.10.500 J-Say 4.03 I also have the following issues / additional questions:- 1. After reading a message when I speak the ‘Close Message’ command Outlook inserts the words ‘Close Message’ into the body field instead of closing the message. I have made sure that there is a period of silence before I issue the command. What is going wrong? 2. What is the best method to switch between applications. For example, if I have both Outlook and Word open and Outlook is the selected application how do I switch to Word? Cheers Mark ----- Original Message ---- From: Ed.

See if it opens with focus, or not. Then, try launching Outlook by navigating through the start menu using your voice (as opposed to the Jsay start command) and see if it launches with focus or not.

When I start Outlook, which has been configured to startup in the Inbox folder, I am unable to use the program until I issue the ‘Check Application’ command because it is not in ‘focus’. I have configured Outlook so that the emails are ordered by date, the reading pane is set to off and auto preview is set to off. What do I need to do to resolve this problem? 2.
