Hi, here they are, from the JAWS help system. Hope this helps. Outlook Helpful Hints The following are some helpful hints for using Outlook with JAWS.
Outlook Reading Pane When using JAWS, the Outlook Reading Pane must be set to the bottom of the window or disabled. If the Reading Pane is set to the right, it forces the Message List Headers into Two-line mode, and only the first line is announced. To set the Reading Pane to the bottom of the window, or to disable it, do the following: Open Outlook. Press ALT+V to open the View menu. Choose the Reading Pane sub menu. Select Bottom to set the pane to the bottom of the window, or select Off to disable the reading pane. Outlook Options While working in Outlook, you can press INSERT+V to change your options. Select an option with the arrow keys and then press SPACEBAR or use the Execute button to cycle through the available settings. Press ENTER to accept your changes and close the dialog box. For information on the standard JAWS options that are not described in this section, see Adjust JAWS Options. Announce Header Fields with Message If this option is set to "Yes," then JAWS automatically reads the From and Subject fields when you open a message. If you change this option to "No," then JAWS does not automatically read this information. Announce Frame and Link Count When opening an HTML message, JAWS gives you a number of frames and links contained within the message. If you do not want to hear the count, set this option to "No." Read Messages Automatically If you want JAWS to automatically read the message body from beginning to end, change this option to "Yes." If you do not want JAWS to automatically read the message body after reading the message header, then leave this option set to "No." Tip: When reading messages automatically, the cursor may move faster than JAWS speech. If you stop speech with CTRL, you should press CTRL+HOME to move to the beginning of the message before continuing to read. Auto-Complete Announcement When you type an e-mail address into the To, CC, or BCC edit boxes, Outlook searches for matches in your address book and then automatically completes the entry for you. JAWS will now announce the address that Outlook automatically inserts into the edit box. To disable this feature, press INSERT+V, select "Announce Address List Auto-complete," and press the SPACEBAR to choose "Off." Message Attachment Notification Turn this option on if JAWS is not detecting and announcing the presence of file attachments when you select a message. Announce Information Bar Messages In Outlook, the information bar frequently displays useful status information. For example, this bar informs you when attachments have been removed from a message, which account a message will be sent from, when you last replied to the current message, when the appointment/meeting you are creating conflicts with an existing appointment, when an appointment time has passed, and so on. If you want JAWS to automatically announce the contents of the information bar when reading messages, leave this option set to "Yes." Read/Unread Message Verbosity Choose "Say Unread" if you want JAWS to announce, "Unread," when you select a message that you have not yet opened. If you change this option to "Silent," JAWS does not indicate unread messages. Indicate Meeting Requests If this option is on, JAWS indicates when the currently selected message is a meeting request. Turn this option off if you do not want JAWS to indicate whether a message is a meeting request. This option is only available in Outlook 2002 or later. Forwarded Flag Announcement Turn this option on if JAWS is not indicating messages that you have forwarded when you select them. Replied Flag Announcement Turn this option on if JAWS is not indicating messages that you have replied to when you select them. Message Flag Announcement If this option is on, JAWS announces when the currently selected message has one of Outlook's message status flags, such as Important, Business, Follow up, Personal, and so on. Turn this option off if you do not want those flags announced. This option is only available in Outlook 2002 or later. Block Quote, Frame, Heading, List, and Table Announcement You can turn off block quote, frame, heading, list, and table announcement when reading HTML formatted e-mail messages, just as you can when viewing Web pages. To change these options, press INSERT+V, select the option you want to enable or disable, and press the SPACEBAR. For more information about these options, see HTML Options. Optimizing Outlook The following are choices and suggestions for optimizing Outlook options for use with JAWS: Calendar TAB from the Folder List view to Calendar. From the View menu choose the Current View submenu. Choose from the following list: Day/Week/Month, Day/Week/Month with Auto Preview, Active Appointments, Events, Annual Events, and Recurring Appointments, By Category. All of these list views work well with JAWS. Note: For best results with the Outlook Calendar, it is suggested that you use the Windows Classic theme for your system. This can be set through the Display option in the Windows Control Panel. In Day/Week/Month view, use LEFT and RIGHT ARROW to move between the days of the month. Use UP and DOWN ARROW to move between the different time slots for the current day. Press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to cycle through your appointments for the current day. To open an appointment, select it and press ENTER. Tip: If JAWS does not read time slots or appointments in Day/Week/Month view, press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Z. Contacts TAB from the Folder List view to Contacts. From the View menu choose the current view submenu. Choose from the following list: Address Cards, Detailed Address Cards, Phone List, By Category, By Company, By Location, and By Follow Up Flag. All of these views work with JAWS. Journal TAB from the Folder List view to Journal. From the View menu choose the Current View submenu. For best results, use one of the following lists with JAWS: Entry List, Next 7 Days, and Phone List. List items By Type, By Contact, and By Category can be used, but are not recommended. Notes TAB from the Folder List view to Notes. From the View menu choose the Current View submenu. Choose one of the following lists: Notes List, Last Seven Days, By Category, or By Color. Icon view can be used with some trial and error. Tasks TAB from the Folder List view to Tasks. From the View menu choose the Current View submenu. Choose from the following list: Simple List, Detailed List, Active Tasks, Next Seven Days, Overdue Tasks, By Category, Assignment, By Person Responsible, Completed Tasks. List item Task Time Line can be used with some trial and error. Note: Turn Preview Pane and AutoPreview OFF for best results. To turn OFF the Preview Pane, go to the View menu and press the DOWN ARROW key to move to the Preview Pane choice and press ENTER on the option to toggle the check mark OFF. To turn off the AutoPreview feature, do the same, but choose AutoPreview instead of Preview Pane. Reading MSAA Information If you find that the selected item is abbreviated or not read completely by JAWS, press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+M to read the MSAA (Microsoft Active Accessibility) information for that item. MSAA provides more details to JAWS, so it can read all the information available. Visual Basic for Applications JAWS only partially supports Visual Basic for Applications when launched from within Outlook. Replying Directly to Senders on Mailing Lists Users that subscribe to mailing lists have the ability to reply directly to the message sender's address, rather than the mailing list address, by using the Reply Directly To Sender command, INSERT+SHIFT+R.
