[JAWSLite] Re: Finding Attachments in Outlook

MessageI use Outlook Express with Office 2003, but hope this may help.

When there is an Email attachment I hit control + home while in the body of the 
message to get to the top. Then I hit shift + Tab and that highlights the 
attachment or attachments. If there is more than one, I tab till I highlight 
the one I want to open and then hit enter.

  Subject: [JAWSLite] Finding Attachments in Outlook


  Hi,
  I'm helping an blind friend who has Jaws V7 with XP pro and MS Office 2007. 
My question about finding attachments in Outlook  2007. It seems that if 
objects like, word documents, pdf files, etc are attached  to a message then 
the "View Attachments" option is listed on the short cut menu and it's easy to 
scroll down the list of attachments to open them. However, if the attachment  
is an  email message then "View Attachments" is not listed on the short cut 
menu. When the message is opened JAWS reads the message header and announces 
that there is an attachment but we can't find a way of getting into the message 
header to open the attachment.
  Thanks  
  Howard
