Patricia,
You say the person is blind/visually impaired and that person wants
plain text. What that indicates to me is that they are not using a
screen reader and instead rely primarily on viewing the screen using
specific fonts and/or colours. If you send a plain text email, the
colours and fonts are dictated by the recipient; if you send an HTML
email the colours and fonts are set by you. Maybe that's the issue, but
as someone else said, perhaps you could ask the person involved why they
need plain text.
Regarding your Outlook question, I can think of two options. First is to
move to another folder and then back. second is to use the shortcut Alt
+ I; this is a toggle that can be used in place of F3 to turn the Find
pane on and off.
I can't help with Adobe Acrobat; I only use the Reader. I suspect that
is true of the majority of people, which may explain the lack of
response to your original question.

Subject: two odd questions
okay, this is either going to seem stupid, or just plain weird, I'm
assuming
the former.
I just found out on another group that I am on that there is a person
who is
blind/visually impaired. when I wrote a message to the group (replying
to
that particular message) I got a response back asking me if I could
resubmit
that message in plain text, because all that person could see was their
message and the original message posted. I did both of these messages
from
the gmail website. why is it that this person needs messages in plain
text?
can't all screen readers read html? (I saw that we had to have things
set to
plain text on the JAWS list information e-mail). why is this, if JAWS
seems
to read all text in html just fine? or at least, it does for me.
now, an Outlook question. whenenever I want to find a message (by doing
f3)
I get the list of messages that I want, as per usual. my question is, do
I
have to close the program and then re-open it just to get back to all
messages from everyone not just this person?
and this final question isn't so odd. I had made a post awhile back
about
Adobe Acrobat and JAWS and its acessibility but didn't get any response.
how
accessible is Adobe Acrobat and JAWS? I've seen the help file which
talks
about Acrobat/Acrobat Reader, but there is no distiction between the two
or
so it seems in the help file.
Thanks for any help.
P.S. as I suspected, my show hidden files was enabled, and I still don't
have an application data folder. weird, but I've delbt with it for this
long, I guess it shouldn't be a problem to deal with it some more.
