Hi Shannon,
The dialogs in Outlook for customizing the views of email lists are very complex and involved so don't take it personally that they are throwing you for a loop. With that being said, I wanted to provide you with the steps that you can use to reorder the columns in the current email message list. Please keep in mind that Outlook makes it very difficult to apply the current view to all email folders so this will only apply to the email folder that is current selected. 1. Select the folder you want to customize (e.g. Inbox) 2. Press Alt-V to activate the View tab in the Ribbon 3. Press V to activate the View Settings Item 4. Press Space on Columns button 5. Tab to the second list which includes the currently used columns (it will come after the Available Columns list) 6. Arrow to the column you wish to change the position of (e.g. Flag Status) 7. Tab to the Move Up button and activate it by pressing Space until it is moved to the top of the list (you will hear Window-Eyes announce Move Down button when you reach the top) 8. Tab to OK and Tab to OK Please note that you can use this technique to re-order almost all of the columns (i.e. from, subject, size, etc) but we discovered a bug in Outlook when attempting these steps. The Flag Status column can be moved up and down the list in the view settings dialog, but it will not actually change position in the email list column headers after you apply the settings. This will happen with or without Window-Eyes running which means that this is not a Window-Eyes issue but a bug in Outlook itself. Please don't shoot the messenger on this one! <grin> Thanks, Marc Solomon GW Micro, Inc.

I noticed that the indicator that the message is flagged is not spoken until the end of the line How can I move that information over to the beginning of the message line? I thought I could do it with the view settings but I can't understand what is happening in the section of the window to choose a view setting. I tried to create my own view that would appear to have that flagged indicator before the from field but I can't figure out how to apply the newly created setting. When in the area that would tell me what view is being chosen WE is saying a lot of information that I don't understand. Is there a way to change the way WE is reading this list box so it is more intelligible? Has anyone tried to change their view settings in Outlook 2010 and is hearing what I am hearing? It is very strange. Thanks Shannon If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
