In Outlook 2010 quickly find a message by searching on an exact word or phrase from the header or body of the message you are searching for by following these steps:
1. Shift+Tab twice to move into an edit box. 2. Type or paste in an exact word or phrase that you know is in the message you are looking for. Capitalization does not matter, but everything else does. Sometimes less is better. 3. Tab or Shift+Tab until you are in the list view of the search results. The number of times you have to press either of these commands will depend on how you have your Outlook view set up. 4. Use up and down arrow to move through the list, Enter to open a message, ESC to close an open message, and ESC when in the list view to close the search. Comments: This searching technique also works in Notes and Calendar. There is a way to tell it to search in all folders, but I'm yet to figure this out. I'm thinking that there must be a way to search on a date, but again, I have not figured this out. Another way to find all messages from a sender if you can find one message in that folder from that sender is: 1. When in the list view for the folder in which you want to search, move to the message, but do not open it. 2. Press the applications key (or Shift+F10) to bring up a context menu. 3. Arrow to Find Related and press Enter or press F to open a submenu. 4. There are 2 choices on the submenu, arrow to "From Sender" and press Enter, or press S. 5. The list of matching items is presented. Use up and down arrow to navigate the list, Enter to open and read a message, ESC to close an open message and ESC when at the list to close the search results. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of david Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 6:38 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Last Month Expanded in Outlook 2010 Hello there; This may help some using outlook 2007&2010; Using Find In MSOutlook2007&2010 Using Jaws Locating All Messages By One Sender: This will work in any mailbox E.g., in-box, sent-box etc. 1.
