hello there; try the following; 1, while in MSOutlook, press insert+v=adjust jaws options. 2, press the letter "m" until you hear, messages automatically read, if it's off, press the spacebar, jaws should indicate the feature is now on. now, tab to okay, press enter, or, the spacebar. now, jaws should automatically read when you open a message. hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Drew Hunthausen To: Jaws list Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 3:00 PM Subject: changing how Jaws reads e-mail Dear list, I want Jaws to read my e-mails so that I can scroll through them with the arrow keys at my own rate. Right now jaws won't read the whole message unless I use the read all key stroke and listen to the whole message. Where do I change this setting to get to read the way I want?
