No, Peter, not that I can put my finger on; but sometimes the next message doesn't start reading properly or everything starts running slowly for no apparent reason. I usually find that if I go back to desktop, make sure all other windows are minimized and that Outlook is still maximized I'm fine. It's just a bit of an oddity which occurs from time to time. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 5:40 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: OUTLOOK 2002 V 10 Carol, do you have any trouble with Brian Hartgen's scripts? Ever since I loaded them I've had trouble in some ways. Opening configuration manager in some programs for instance, I get an uncalled function to script error. I had to uninstall them.

I don't use Journal though. I agree Outlook isn't quite so subsinct when it comes to reading, as was Outlook Express, but most of the time I can press DEL on the item, once I'd stopped speech with Ctrl and it will start reading the next item. This is with Brian Hartgen's scripts, by the way, and Version 5.1 of JAWS at present. My coolest feature that you didn't mention was the Goto: In the calendar you can go to things like Tuesday, three weeks, today, an actual date written with slashes, and other things I've tried out which it accepts. I couldn't believe, when I first played with it, how many different things it would accept and take you to that date. I usually Goto a date before putting in the appointment, because I find it less fiddley that way, then just Goto today when I'm done. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 8:31 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: OUTLOOK 2002 V 10 Hi Carol, I could read on this thread for ages. I'm really into Outlook these days and can't get enough of it. I was checking into my contacts and noticed that I don't really have to have a contact that has an email address. This contact could simply be a mailing address. You can enter all his or her details, all their phone numbers, birthday details etc, and quickly find any contact with a quick control shift letter e. If you have his or her address in full, Outlook has an option that states, create a new letter to this contact? I haven't tried it, but I imagine that Outlook will open MS Word and have my contacts name and address in the appropriate area of a business letter. Cool or what. To anyone who is still using Outlook Express, I used to jump from Outlook Express to Outlook and back, due to the fact that the Jaws scripts were never any good for Outlook 97 or using Jaws 3.7. But this new Jaws, version 6, is working just great with Outlook. I particularly like the Calendar. You can set up dates and appointments and have an alert sound from one minute or even two weeks before the appointment. Just great. Jaws 6 works great in the Calendar, so its easy to set them up. Another thing I like is the note options. You know when you're working away or reading emails and the phone rings and someone wants you to take down a phone number? In the past I had to open Notepad, type in the details and then save it as a document. I don't have to do that any more with Outlook's notes and Jaws 6. I simply move to the Notes folder and hit Control plus the letter N. Immediately a little notepad window opens for me to type in the details. When that's done and I hang up the phone, I simply alt F4 on the wee window and the details are saved! Brilliant. Also you can, using MS Word to edit emails, incorporate MS word as the, er, client window, if you will. This means that you write your emails in a document window from MS Word. I think this gives me great control over what the document looks like when I send in HTML, plus this method uses the auto correct spelling options of MS Word, so a word that is not spelt correctly is noticeable if you use a screen reader, not to mention that words like Saturday and January are automatically capatilised. Using the spell checker brings up MS Word's very own spell checker, so again it's a user window that you are familiar with. It can also check your grammar as well as your spelling. Turn the grammer check off though as it is a bit of a pain. Outlook also has a Tasks option which I haven't gotten into yet, as well as a journal option which I haven't gotten into either. There is one, and only one drawback with Outlook though. That is, when opening each email, you have to actually use the say all key to get Jaws to read it. This is a wee bit of a pain at first, but you do get used to it and, after a while, you can create a hot key for faster reading. Also hypertext links don't automatically activate on hitting enter on them, but the fix is easy and really not worth the mention. There are so many other great options of Outlook that you'd have to see for yourself. Your favourites are right there on board to launch your favourite website. If you have Outlook on your computer, why not set it up and give it a try. You'll never miss another birthday. The security features in Outlook are supposed to be much better, too. Getting into Outlook is only a little challenging with only a slight learning curve, Peter -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
