Hi. I'm familiar with saving the attachments, but she wants to open not save them. As I have said, pressing enter on the attachment doesn't give her anythjing, not even the confirmation dialog about opening or saving attachments. Thanks, Ray Campbell, Help Desk Technician Adaptive Technology Center Chicago Lighthouse for People Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired 1850 W. Roosevelt Road Chicago, IL 60608 312-997-3651 (Voice/Relay) or 888-825-0080 (voice/Relay) ray.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AIM Screen Name: tclhelp -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jyotsna Kaki Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 12:40 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Problem Opening Outlllk Express Attachements for JFW user Hi, There are two ways: 1. She can use the arrow key and once she starts hearing the attacment title, she can click enter and it should open the attachment. 2. go In the attachment window, go to the file menu (alt + f) and select 'save attachments as' then click enter. A save as window pops up. She can go ahead and select the file name etc. and then close the email and access the file from the location she save it in. Hope this helps.
