Sounds more and more as if Outlook 2007 simply sucks with speech-rather
a shame, given the suite's overall fine performance. I've gotten some
feedback indicating that some of my sighted colleagues aren't exactly
thrilled with it either.

Same here from me using Outlook 2007. I think that JAWS in general has
problems with Outlook 2007, as even back to JAWS 9 I have had issues
with the Outlook 2007 calendar sometimes crashing.
The crashing of the calendar continues with JAWS 11 and in addition,
JAWS 11 is very fragile when creating a new message or replying to
messages. I have had several crash sessions. I also note that the
spell-checker in Outlook 2007 is very hesitant and slow, much more so
than JAWS 9.
All said, JAWS 11 is apparently more unstable with Outlook 2007 than
with any other application.
BTW, using 11.0.1430.

Hi,
I'm using Jaws 11 on my Dell home PC running XP Pro and on my
Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. In both cases, I've got
pplenty of processor power and lots of RAM. Jaws 11 is running just
fine.
On the other hand, I am experiencing problems on my work machine
running XP Pro. It's a Gateway with a slower processor and only a gig
of RAM. On this machine, Jaws gets sluggish or goes quiet while I'm in
Word or Outlook 2007. I don't necessarily blame it on JAWS 11, though. I
think the Office 2007 and JAWS 11 combination is more than that system
can comfortably handle.
