Hello: I use MS Outlook XP, but I recall Outlook 2000 working the same way. You have myriad options available to you. Yes, you should be able to type the email address or contact list name, and Outlook will auto-fill. Go to "tools" and "options" and double check to make sure you have this option checked. Even JAWS 5.084 works. If you still have version 4.51, however, I would try it. The video bug in 5.0 could be a problem with your specific video driver. As far as Outlook is concerned, this functionality should be there if you have checked all the right boxes. In a list of messages, where you see (or hear) only the identity of the sender and the subject, you should be able to hit delete without opening. Within a message, press Control plus D to delete. You can tell Outlook either to open the next message after a Control Plus D or bring you back to the message list. You could be confused by the "preview" function in Outlook. Be sure that is turned off. It just confuses.

First, I have the box checked to automatically finish the e mail addresses but I still have to type the full address unlike Outlook Express. Is this a bug in 5.084 or with XP Home or is there something else I should check? Second, when reading a list of messages, Outlook Express let me hit delete after reading the message body and the next message in the list would open in the body of the message. Neither of these techniques work with Outlook. I have to exit the message to delete it and I also have to arrow down to the text of the message. Is this normal or is there a more efficient way to handle long lists of messages? I am going through the tutorial cassettes on Outlook with XP I just got from the Iowa School but have not found answers to these 2 problems yet. Thanks for any help.
