> Outlook Helpful Hints
> The following are some helpful hints for using Outlook with JAWS.
>
> Outlook Reading Pane
> When using JAWS, the Outlook Reading Pane must be set to the
> bottom of the
> window or disabled. If the Reading Pane is set to the right,
> it forces the
> Message List Headers into Two-line mode, and only the first line is

>
> To set the Reading Pane to the bottom of the window, or to
> disable it, do
> the following:
>
> Open Outlook.
> Press ALT+V to open the View menu.
> Choose the Reading Pane sub menu.
> Select Bottom to set the pane to the bottom of the window, or
> select Off to
> disable the reading pane.
> Outlook Options
> While working in Outlook, you can press INSERT+V to change
> your options.
> Select an option with the arrow keys and then press SPACEBAR
> or use the
> Execute button to cycle through the available settings. Press
> ENTER to
> accept your changes and close the dialog box.
>
> For information on the standard JAWS options that are not
> described in this
> section, see Adjust JAWS Options.
>
> Announce Header Fields with Message
> If this option is set to "Yes," then JAWS automatically reads
> the From and
> Subject fields when you open a message. If you change this
> option to "No,"
> then JAWS does not automatically read this information.
>
> Announce Frame and Link Count
> When opening an HTML message, JAWS gives you a number of
> frames and links
> contained within the message. If you do not want to hear the
> count, set this
> option to "No."
>
> Read Messages Automatically
> If you want JAWS to automatically read the message body from
> beginning to
> end, change this option to "Yes." If you do not want JAWS to
> automatically
> read the message body after reading the message header, then
> leave this
> option set to "No."
>
> Tip: When reading messages automatically, the cursor may move
> faster than
> JAWS speech. If you stop speech with CTRL, you should press
> CTRL+HOME to
> move to the beginning of the message before continuing to read.
>
> Auto-Complete Announcement
> When you type an e-mail address into the To, CC, or BCC edit
> boxes, Outlook
> searches for matches in your address book and then
> automatically completes
> the entry for you. JAWS will now announce the address that Outlook
> automatically inserts into the edit box. To disable this
> feature, press
> INSERT+V, select "Announce Address List Auto-complete," and press the
> SPACEBAR to choose "Off."
>
> Message Attachment Notification
> Turn this option on if JAWS is not detecting and announcing
> the presence of
> file attachments when you select a message.
>
> Announce Information Bar Messages
> In Outlook, the information bar frequently displays useful status
> information. For example, this bar informs you when
> attachments have been
> removed from a message, which account a message will be sent
> from, when you
> last replied to the current message, when the
> appointment/meeting you are
> creating conflicts with an existing appointment, when an
> appointment time
> has passed, and so on. If you want JAWS to automatically announce the
> contents of the information bar when reading messages, leave
> this option set
> to "Yes."
>
> Read/Unread Message Verbosity
> Choose "Say Unread" if you want JAWS to announce, "Unread,"
> when you select
> a message that you have not yet opened. If you change this option to
> "Silent," JAWS does not indicate unread messages.
>
> Indicate Meeting Requests
> If this option is on, JAWS indicates when the currently
> selected message is
> a meeting request. Turn this option off if you do not want
> JAWS to indicate
> whether a message is a meeting request. This option is only
> available in
> Outlook 2002 or later.
>
> Forwarded Flag Announcement
> Turn this option on if JAWS is not indicating messages that you have
> forwarded when you select them.
>
> Replied Flag Announcement
> Turn this option on if JAWS is not indicating messages that
> you have replied
> to when you select them.
>
> Message Flag Announcement
> If this option is on, JAWS announces when the currently
> selected message has
> one of Outlook's message status flags, such as Important,
> Business, Follow
> up, Personal, and so on. Turn this option off if you do not
> want those flags
> announced. This option is only available in Outlook 2002 or later.
>
> Block Quote, Frame, Heading, List, and Table Announcement
> You can turn off block quote, frame, heading, list, and table
> announcement
> when reading HTML formatted e-mail messages, just as you can
> when viewing
> Web pages. To change these options, press INSERT+V, select
> the option you
> want to enable or disable, and press the SPACEBAR. For more
> information
> about these options, see HTML Options.
