The tools setting does. to instruct OE to open with a maximized window: 1. Go to the OE icon on the desktop. Press alt-enter. Note. If the icon isn't in the desktop, find it in the programs menu. As I recall, here you press the applications key, arrow down to the shortcut tab and press enter. From here, the next and final step should work. 2. Tab until you hear information about the window. JAWS will probably say "Normal window." Arrow down to "maximize" and press enter. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of dennis Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 8:50 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: jaws and outlook express does the setting stay that way? ----- Original Message ----- From: Farfar <mailto:dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 8:54 PM Subject: Re: jaws and outlook express Is your window maximized? Also when in the message, Alt-o for the Format menu, then arrow down to encoding. If it's not on Western, give that a try, as well. Whenever I get a message that is Unicode, I can never read it. These messages say "Unicode" in the title bar, so that gives me a clue. Another way to ensure that all messages will be read as plain text regardless of the format in which they were created: Tools/Options Read Page Check the "Read all messages as plain text" The downside of this is that if you receive messages with links, I think you cannot click on them to launch.

I have to keep clicking on the text in the message to make jaws read the text properly! It is kind of hard because I cant see where the mouse is! Any ideas how to fix jaws from doing this? I have windows xp-pro and jaws 10. I read all my messages in html not txt. Thanks Heather
