Jennie, I've had something similar going on ever since I switched to JAWS 11 from JAWS 9, using MS Outlook 2007. The status bar becomes filled with text fragments of the various messages it accumulates over time, until it's almost unreadable. I restore and then maximize Outlook to reset back to a meaningful message. I don't have the select issue that you report, however.

I had the same problem after installing JAWS 11. Maybe someone with more expertise than me can tell you the steps for fixing it, but I do know it has something to do with needing to reset the skeme, which tech support helped me with over the phone. It has something to do with how the video card recognizes color changes I think. They insisted it was not the fault of JAWS, but funny how this only occurred after upgrading to JAWS 11. Things get shifted in the install I suppose.

Also, JAWS does not always speak the ctl+X and ctl+C commands when going down the list of messages. The commands do, however, work but you wold never know it from JAWS. I do have the same configuration, JAWS 11, Windows 7 and Office 2007 professional. I am using Microsoft Outlook for my email.

I have the same issue with JAWS saying "not selected" when arrowing down a list of messages. If I want to have a message selected, I have to arrow up again. This is indeed not very convenient. Bert From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alex Stone Sent: 25 March 2010 10:57 To: Alex Stone Subject: an irritating Outlook 2007 problem I have jaws 11 and Outlook 2007 under Windows7. For some reason recently, all the items in any of my mail folders say not selected before the item is read out. This in itself is not a major issue. However the status bar is also not spoken, although the item for the status bar is checked in the view menu. This rather irritatingly means I can't tell how many items there are in each folder. The appliation is maximized, so it's not that. An help would be very gratefully received.
