Hi Marcia,
The college I attend has Groupwise as its e-mail package and I am trying to
complete the CLAIT Plus set of certificates.
The JAWS keystroke help does not cover the area of work I am doing. For
example:
I have to print two pieces of information together on the same page that are
on different screens (you have to tab at least 17 times to move from one
piece of information to the next). Even sighted students have difficulty in
doing this with the mouse. I still have to use the calender function so I
am anticipating more problems.
The module was clearly written for Outlook and the problems have arisen
because the college IT help desk have refused to put Outlook on the system,
they prefer to use Groupwise as their e-mail system.
However, pressure to change to Outlook from some tutors may soon pay
dividends. If not, I will seriously consider
make a claim for discrimination against the college.

Phil,
Thanks for the info, I'm sure the tutor at college is aware of this but I've
passed it on anyway. Part of the problem seems to be the number of
different versions being used at the college. Some machines have got
Groupwise 6.5 and others have ver 7.0 on them. They are still on JAWS 7.1
Anyway thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated.

Hi Jim,
I don't use GroupWise myself but there is a section on GroupWise in the Jaws
help, under "popular applications with Jaws".
You haven't mentioned which version of Jaws you are using but I think that
this entry has been in the Jaws help for a number of older versions as well
as the latest.
You can find the information as follows:
JawsKey+j (JawsKey is insert on a standard keyboard);
Press the letter j to open the Jaws help topics;
Press the letter p to navigate to "popular applications with Jaws" and
cursor right to open the sub-menu;
Repeatedly press the letter g until you arrive at "GroupWise";
Now, press enter then f6 to place the Jaws focus on the information panel;
Here you will find three links, namely:
JAWS Commands for GroupWise, GroupWise Getting Started and GroupWise Helpful
Hints.
Following these links will give you some idea of the setup required for
GroupWise with Jaws as well as Keystrokes etc.
HTH,
Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] Outlook versus Groupwise
Hi All,
Does anyone in the UK use Groupwise e-mail with JAWS?
I'm trying to complete a CLAIT Plus course in College and the IT Helpdesk in
the college refuse to allow me to use Microsoft Outlook to do that module,
they insist all students use Groupwise which has had me and the tutor nearly
pulling our hair out in frustration at the lack of continuity in Groupwise.
I'm almost at the point of considering complaining to the DRC over this
matter.
Any advice welcome.
Jim Williams
