Okay, sorry about that. I do recall that later versions of JAWS don't work with 
older versions of Office. Have you considered installing an older version of 
JAWS on that machine, to allow you to use Office 97? I think you can install, 
for example JAWS 5 with JAWS 11 already installed.

Anyone else have advice on this suggestion?

  No no sorry. It's microsoft office 97. Oh hell. How to say this. Well the 
version of word is 97 and that doesn't work with jaws 11. I'm guessing if word 
is 97, the rest of it is too. But no. I have windows xp. I just don't have an 
updated version of MS office.

    Oh.  You're saying that the Operating system  (Windows 97) and your version 
of JAWS do not work together. That's actually the issue?

      97 and Jaws 11. It's my mom's computer that I got and they never needed 
anything better.

          My version of office won't work with my version of jaws, 
unfortunately.

            Samara,

            Many people use MS Outlook for such tasks. Have you already tried 
that?

              Hey guys. I was wondering if there was a program that was 
accessible with jaws and was a calendar. A calendar where I could store 
birthdays and events, scheduled tasks and such, and that had an alarm that I 
could set to go off when these birthdays or tasks came up. Anything?
