Hi Phil Sounds as if you still have Thunder installed because with that program you do need to tab into messages in O.E. in order to read them. Try checking if Thunder is still in your programs list.

Since then I have had probhlems in OE whereas when I try to read an email message I have to escape and go into it again then tab into the message window. Before it used to go straight into the message window. Does anyone know what has happened? I have checked the Options but everything looks fine. I would appreciate assistance as this is driving me mad. I use XP with Office 2003 with Jaws 5.0. Regards. Phil
