Dear Joe,
Once you have Sinked your cell phone via the USB port to your
computer, you will see Active Sync come up, and it takes a few
minutes for it to Sync with your computer. Window-Eyes will read the progress.
Then, you can open Outlook 2007. It's not the most accessible
software in the world, and you will have to use your Window-Eyes
Mouse. When you mouse up the screen, with the numpad-8, or down, with
the numpad-2, when you find the word Contacts, you press the left
mouse button on the numeric keypad.
To add a new contact, you press control-shift-C. Window-Eyes doesn't
read the fields correctly, and so it's kind of weird. I mostly use it
to backup my cell phone, which it will automatically do when you plug
in the USB cable to your phone and computer. Be sure to read any
prompts before answering yes to them. You don't want it to delete
your contacts like I did last fall. I was quite upset when I did
that. I didn't read the screen first, and I answered yes to a prompt
that I shouldn't have.
You will see all your contacts, and you can arrow up and down with
the arrow keys.
I suggest that when you add contacts, you do this with your cell
phone, as I found it to be actually easier, than with Outlook 2007.
I will be very happy, when Window-Eyes and Outlook 2007 are
compatible, as I would switch from Eudora to Outlook 2007, if they
were. I hope that GW Micro and Microsoft can solve this problem.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi! I've been waiting for a response for a couple of weeks now so my rear
is getting stiff! Using Windows Xp and wanting to get into my Outlook
contacts and edit them, deleting and updating them so as to synch them with
my cell phone. I can't figure out how to do this and have all of my
contacts with all their info in a list so I can go through each contact and
make corrections, etc. Can someone put me out of my misery??
Control-shift-b isn't getting the job done. Neither is control-3. I just
get a box with no list of contacts in it and if I tab around I get the
Search query stuff.
Pleading politely for purposeful post,
