Renette Are you only doing a single click with capslock 8? Does it work if you simulate a double click by holding down Capslock and pressing 8 twice quickly? Cheers Chris -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Renette Bloem Sent: 06 March 2007 09:34 To: jaws mailing list Subject: following links in an e-mail Hi Everybody I am using Jaws 8; Windows XP Home and Outlook 2000. When I receive an e-mail containing links and this e-mail is in plain text format, I am unable to follow the links directly from out of the e-mail by entering on it or doing a left mouse click (caps lock +8 - I am working on a laptop). However, a sighted user can do it by doing a double left click with the mouse. If I receive an e-mail containing links and the e-mail is in html format, I have no problem accessing the links from the e-mail. Now, my questions: 1 Can anybody please explain to me why a sighted user can follow links in an plain text e-mail, but I cannot do it with Jaws? 2 Except for using copy and paste, is there a work around for me to follow the links when the e-mail is in plain text format? Thanks.
