Hi Pat, Why are you mousing to get to Contacts? This seems a little silly. Just press Alt-G for Go, then arrow down to Contacts.. Or if you want the real quickie quick way, from anywhere in Outlook, press Control-3, and you will land straight in Contactts.
Control-1 is Inbox, Control-2 is Calendar and Control-3 is contacts.

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. Pat Ferguson At 10:26 PM 9/25/2009, Jo Taliaferro wrote: >Hi! I've been waiting for a response for a couple of weeks now so my rear >is getting stiff!
