Hello Ron, and others,
The way I have always opened links is to position my curser on them.
Then do a JAWS Key F7
Tab once .
This "Moves to Link"
Tab again
This "activates" the  link
then hit Enter

I have opened links like this since JAWS 3.3

I appreciate all your help.

Still having probs, but it's better.

All these upgrades and changes in technology don't help screen readers at
all do they?

Thanks Barbara, it worked!  But is there any way we can set the computer
to
open it the same way as we do when pressing enter?

I've looked for  the security settings Christine, but can't find them to
check.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Ron
Use your JAWS cursor and arrow past the http:. or at least that is what I
do
until I come to the www and hit the left mouse button and then it should
work.

Hi all.



I'm using Jaws 9 with Vista home and can't open links when I enter
on them from within an open message in Outlook 2003.  When I press
Enter/return it just pings and nothing happends.



Can anyone please tell me how I can rectify this?



Many thanks in advance.



Ron
