The only way in which you can apply underlining in Outlook Express is to first select the desired text, and hit ALT+O to open the Format Menu. Then press F for Font. Hit ALT+U to check the Underline checkbox (or find the checkbox manually and press SPACEBAR). Tab to or arrow down to the OK button and press ENTER to apply the effect. In order for this formatting to work, your OE message should be composed in HTML. This does not work in plain text. Furthermore, (depending on which JAWS version you are running with OE), the underline attribute may or may not read back when the JAWS INSERT+F keystroke is activated. Also, I have found that you can use the CTRL+B and CTRL+I keystrokes for applying Bold and Italic styles, respectively. For more information, see your JAWS and Outlook Express Help systems, along with any relevant JAWS TSN's on the FS Web site.--WH -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
