Thanks David, your directions worked like a champ. A strange place to hide that option. Many thanks. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Bailes Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2010 10:42 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Outlook 2010 and difficulity reading tables in a message Hi Phil, the option to display messages in plain text is well and truely buried: 1. Press the file tab button, arrow down to options, and press enter to open the outlook options dialog (alt, f, t). 2. On the trust center page of this dialog, press the trust center settings button. 3. In the trust center dialog, move to the e-mail security page, where there's a check box to read all standard mail in plain text, which is unchecked by default. If it's checked, then there's also a check box below it for digitally signed email. David. original message: I am running windows 7 64-bit, jaws 12, and office 2010 32-bit. If I receive emails that contain tables, jaws seems to lock up for a few minutes when I attempt to open them, and if/when it does open, jaws doesn't read the message very well. It typically skips over parts of the table. I can't get it to read the columns using any of the typical table reading keystrokes. I have looked through all the obvious ribbon choices in outlook 2010, and since I believe outlook uses word to display the contents of messages, I looked through words ribbon as well. Does anyone know how I can either get jaws to read the messages correctly, or to force the messages to be displayed in text instead of html? By the way, system access has no problem reading these messages. Many thanks in advance.
