Hi Jamie,
 
Yes, the attachments in Outlook is a particularly frustrating problem. 
 
I now use the Save Attachments from the File menu, and get round it that
way.
 
With best wishes,
 
Keith

Ken,
 
I've had much the same as well.  I have a suspicion that it may be to do
with Word 2000 now becoming a bit dated but it doesn't make it any less
frustrating.
 
I've tried updating all my Office 2000 components but to no avail.  I also
get similar problems reading the names of attachments in Outlook 2000 when
there are more than 1 attachment.
 
I guess that Jaws 9 is not really interested in looking back too far and it
may end up being a case of using Jaws 8 for some things and Jaws 9 for
others.
 
Cheers,
 
Jamie

All
 
Using XP, Word 2000, and Jaws 9.
 
The interactive part of dialogue boxes in Word are all saying blank, even
when I know there is something there.  This is most noticeable when I select
"Save As".  It says the file name is blank, but I know there is a name in
the box.  This is particularly tricky if I want to edit the existing name,
eg to create version 2 of the same file.
 
Also noticed the same problem in tables, when the number of rows and columns
in the tables set up box reads as blank, but these always have some actual
value there.
 
Can anyone suggest what I need to do here?
 
Thanks,
 
Ken
