Bob:
I know you addressed this to Sue, but having just entered an appointment in
Outlook, I thought I'd answer.
From pretty much anywhere in Outlook (other than inside a message, task,
appointment, or the like), just press control-shift-A. "A" is logical since it
is an "appointment" you are creating.
You will be asked for Subject and Location. Those are the first two edit
boxes. There is a combo box that follows, but I always skip it.
Then comes the start date. The present date will come up as a default. Just
edit the date and hit tab.
The next field is the start time. Mine is set to jump by half hour increments.
So, arrow up and down until you have the start time. If the time is an odd
one, e.g., 11:45 instead of 11:30, just edit. Be sure to indicate A M or P M.
You can freely edit these fields.
Tab again and you will hit the end date. Unless the appointment runs for
several days, just hit tab because this field should have the same date as the
start date.
Hit tab again, and you are in the edit field for "end time." You can edit this
just like the start time. Mine defaults to duration of half hour. So, if I
have a meeting starting at 11:30, the default end time will be 12:00.
Again, edit up and down to increase or decrease the end time. Again, be sure
to check the AM/PM.
There are some other fields that are not important. Just tab until you come to
"reminder." Mine is turned on by default. If it isn't, check it to turn it
on. Tab again to get the advance time. Mine is set, by default, to remind me
15 minutes in advance of the appointment. This too is an edit field. Use up
and down arrows to increase or reduce the reminder time by Outlook's set
increments, or just type in the amount of time for a reminder. You can edit
the reminder "sound," but I just use the default.
For me, there is only one other useful field, and that is "Notes."
Keep tabbing until you come to "Notes." It is a free form edit box. Type
anything you want in the way of reminders, e.g., be sure to bring the Smith
trademark files or Don't forget to ask about Pete's daughter who is a freshman
at Yale.
Type in anything you like.
Then, press Control plus S to save and Escape to leave the appointment.
To reach the calendar to review it, press Control plus 2 from just about
anywhere in Outlook.
There are alternative ways to do the above. The above works for me. Hope it
is useful for you.

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?
