Hi again Steve
I tried setting the navigation pain on and this didn't make any difference.
What has made a difference, however, is pressing the "apply" button after
setting the long date format. I'd only pressed the "ok" button before.
As a slight aside, could someone tell me the difference between "apply" and
"ok"?

Irene,
If the change I suggested doesn't help, undo it and then check that the
Navigation Pane is on screen (you can do toggle it on and off from the View
menu or with the shortcut Alt + F1). It would seem that JAWS 7 likes having
that there, maybe because it contains the Date Navigator. Although I don't
think you can interact with the Date Navigator through the keyboard, I wonder
if this is where JAWS gets some of it's information.

Hi Steve
I've just tried that and it now only says the day, no date.

Tink,
What you need to change is your long date format. Here's how you can do it,
taken from a document I prepared for someone else:
Oddly, this change is not made within Outlook. Rather, you need to open the
Start Menu and go to the Settings submenu and choose Control Panel.
In here is an item called Regional Settings; press Enter on this to open a
multi-page dialogue box.
What happens next depends on whether you have Windows 98 or XP Pro. In Windows
98 you need to go the page labelled "Date" (you can usually get to this
quickest by pressing Control Shift Tab, as it is the last page of the dialog).
In Windows XP Pro, on the Regional Options page, Tab to and press the Customize
button to open a second multi-page dialogue box and on this one, navigate to
the Date page.
Once you're on the Date page, Tab to the Long date style Control and type the
following line exactly as it appears:
dddd, dd MMMM yyyy
You may want to check that one letter at a time to ensure you have it exactly
as it is written, and note any capital letters!
Once you have typed this in, you can Tab to the OK button and press it, and
then close the Control Panel. You will now find that in the Calendar, dates
are given as you prefer in full except for the year. As of the writing of this
document, I don't know of a way to get the year to be read as part of the date.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Outlook calendar not speaking day.
Evening,
Can anyone advise me on how to get Jaws to announce which day of the
week it is, as well as the date in Outlook's calendar?
Curiously this happens on my work machine, but I can't get it to happen
here at home.
The only difference that I can work out between the two machines is
that I have XP home here and XP Pro at work, and of course the corresponding
versions of Jaws.
Otherwise, it's Outlook 2003, with calendar in day view mode, Jaws
v7.0, with verbosity set to advanced.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Tink.
