Thanks, Mike, for the instructions on widening the Subject field. I wasn't aware of that. My Subject line was set at 350 which must be the default.

If you haven't use the steps below to do so. These are steps are for XP / Outlook Express users. I don't know if they will work with Vista / Windows Mail or XP / Outlook. While in Outlook Express press the alt + V keystroke for the view menu. 2. Arrow down to " Columns " and press enter or just press the letter " C ". 3. Arrow down to " Subject " and with " Subject " highlighted press the keystroke alt + W. You will get a message stating how many pixels wide your subject line is currently set for. Back space this number out and type 400 or 425. I currently have mine set at 430. This will widen your subject line so more print will fit. After you type in your desired number of pixels tab to okay and press enter. Hope this helps. Take care.

In this list you are to post offer, wanted, taken or received plus the item and your town in the county. Jaws reads it with the pc cursor but if I try to read it with the jaws cursor it sometimes drops the last few words. An example of one of the subject lines is offer, gold drapes for cutting up the fabric, Shenandoah If I try to use the jaws cursor for next word it stops at the word for then reads the time as the next word. It also sometimes starts reading something from my address book. I am using jaws 11,, outlook express, xp home sp3 --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.
