Hi, mainly, in the Jaws 12 help, there are some suggestions for adjusting the 
reading pane in Outlook.

However, I took it a step further and in the Layout Group Box, turned off the 
navigation pane, and the To Do Bar. There appears to be a feature called the 
People Pane, I turned that off as well.

Somewhat disconcerting are the problematic HTML messages and the way that they 
are rendered by Outlook, I find myself having to press Alt H, A V a lot.

Jim,

Do you have a resource that gives the suggested adjustments to Outlook 2010 
you're referring to?  I'd like to see it.

I am having no significant issues with Outlook 2010 and Jaws, either Jaws 11 or 
Jaws 12.

There are some adjustments that should be made to various reading and 
navigation panes, but it works just fine.  Occasionally, when a message is not 
rendered properly, it may be necessary to read a particular message in the web 
browser, but this is easily accomplished.


Also, Mail works beautifully on the Mac, in fact, it's a fantastic experience.
Here's a link to Vision Australia's various audio tutorials for different 
programs running on Snow Leopard.
