right now i can't find where in microsoft outlook 2003 where like in outlook express you can turn off the greater than sign to clear up the confusion what i do because there too many people who send me stuff with the greater than sign infesting their email to deal with it i went to the dictionary manager while in, outlook insert f2, d for dictionary enter tab to add button when it asks for a word i typed a grater than sign in then for a replacement i hit the spacebar once then control s to save the changes they are still there but jaws sees it as a space and don reads it to me any more if i am gonna send the information to some one else i do not do what the lazy lazy but heads do and just forward it putting even more of them in the email i'll will copy the message put into word and take out the offending greater than sign with control h for find and replace then paste into a new email to send on thats mah story and i am sticking to it, good luck ----- Original Message ----- From: Jouie To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2006 10:38 AM Subject: RE: Here I am once again! Hello Marissa, The ">" sign is placed all over the message. You know that, every word has that sign sometimes at the beginning of the word, at the end or sometimes the word is inside the two ">" sign. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marissa Manzino Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2006 4:00 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Here I am once again! Hey Jouie, How are you? I think you are talking about the signature option in Outlook. WHen you say a symbol do you mean a signature? I think you have to go into the options menu and shift tab until you hear Jaws say signature. Then you tab through the list until you come to zero. I don't know if that helps, or even if that makes sense. I hope I've helped. If I haven't, let me know and I'd be happy to try again! well have fun!

When I was using outlook express, somebody suggested me that I should go to the option that tells about your message format. The problem of mine that time was when I read messages, I'm getting irritated of the ">" symbol. They told me that the sender maybe sets that option. When I checked mine, it is not activated. Now my question is, now that I'm using Microsoft outlook 2003, where can I find that option ? The option telling that the message you are sending has ">" sign with it. I realized that my sent E-mails have that, because when I receive a reply from the list members, ">" sign is in my message. I don't want them to be irritated too. Can you read this message with your screenreader clearly? >I >>want you>> >to > help >me>>>>>>>> >on>>>> this>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>problem>>>>>>> >I'm>>> having>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >now>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Regards, E-mail me at: jouiecel27@xxxxxxxxx
