Cy, What I've noticed with MS Outlook (and reported to FS) was that the status bar get cluttered with pieces of text from the various messages that appear there. It requires restoring and maximizing the screen to clean this up. However as soon as a new set of information appears it starts happening again. This has been going on since MS-Outlook 2007 came aboard and with all versions of JAWS. Here's an example of my status bar right now: 1 Itemsms This fThis fol PrSSWaitAll folders are up to date.Trying Connected to Microsoft Exchangeto MicrosOut of Office As you can see, it's a mess. If I just restore/maximize I now get: 1 Item All folders are up to date. Connected to Microsoft Exchange Out of Office But it will get messed up again real soon. I just turned off my Out of Office status and now it reads: 1 Item All folders are up WaitAll folders are up to date.MicrosoConnected to Microsoft Exchange Anyone else noticed this behavior? It's almost as though the off-screen object model is not correctly picking up the changes, but since it's actually on the real screen, it may be a problem with MS-Outlook. Happens with XP Pro, Any JAWS, Outlook 2007. And yes, it's been reported to FS long ago with no result. Dave
