Hi, You can do this by using the read status line command. This is the Jaws key plus the page down key (or the Jaws key plus the three key on the numeric keypad). This will read the total number of messages in your folder plus the number of unread messages. I hope this helps, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Salvas,Michel [NCR] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 11:39 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: JAWS 8 and Outlook 2003 Hi, all,` Is there a way to make JAWS say the number of unread messages in Outlook 2003? Ex: I would like JAWS say "Two items, one unread". Thanks at the advance. Michel Salvas P.S. I'm using JAWS 9.
