Hey Brian,
Thanks for all your help so far.
I got into the address book, and I had to put the emails in one at a time.
I have all my email address from my other computer on here, but when I
imported it went to the live mail address book, and I can't get them to come
in here.
Do you know how to make another address folder, because I want to make one
called Jaws users?
Thanks again for all your help.
Patti
Hi Patty,
When you use CTRL+3 to move into your contacts try using tab key to move to
a tree view where "contacts" is announced. Unfortunately, I am not at a
system with Outlook 2003 like I was earlier, but if I remember correctly
then there will be a tree or folder view and you should hear "contacts"
spoken. Use up or down arrow keys at this point and find out if you have
either an additional contacts folder or a folder called "address book." If
so then after moving to the additional folder use tab key to the list and
check to see if your contacts and addresses are in that folder. Be sure
also to have either the address card view or the detailed address card view
chosen in the view menu. You said that you just started using Outlook. Did
you use the import function to bring your addresses into contacts? If not
then you might need to export them from the other system to a comma
separated value file or another type that you can import into Outlook, and
then import them. If you have exported them then while in the contacts part
of Outlook you can use the import choice in the file menu. Let me know how
it goes for you.
Take care.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for all this.
I got the size off.
I couldn't see who is in my address book. I did ctrl 3, and it said
contacts, but when I arrow down it said view cards checked. I tried to arrow
down, but it did nothing. I couldn't get out of there. I know I have some
contacts, because when I open up an email to send off I can do the first
letter of a name, and it is in there.
All you said to do about the links didn't work.
Do you have any more things for me to try?
Patti
Hello Patti,
I am using Outlook 2007, which is actually Outlook 12. However, I am quite
sure the steps for performing the functions you asked about are the same if
you use Outlook 11.
How do I make the link in an email work?
You can list links using insert with F7 and press enter on the link you want
to activate. If that doesn't work you can try tabbing to the link and
pressing enter key. If those methods don't work you should move the cursor
directly on to the link, press application key and arrow down to the "open
link" choice. Press enter on that choice.
How do I shut off the size of an email?
1. Press Alt+V to bring up the view menu.
2. Use down arrow to the arrange by choice and use right arrow into the
submenu.
3. In Word 2007 the menu choice for "custom" is in that submenu. Again,
not being at a system with Outlook 11 on it I don't remember if the "custom"
choice is in that submenu or in the current view submenu. If it is not in
the submenu of "arrange by" then use right arrow at the "current view"
choice and check its submenu for the "custom" choice. Press enter key to
bring up the "custom" dialog.
4. Press spacebar on the "fields" button.
5. Use tab key a few times and you will find a list box of available items.
Continue to use tab key until you find the "show these fields in this order"
list.
6. Use down arrow key until you select the "received" choice.
7. Use shift+tab to the "remove" button and press spacebar. This will put
the "received" item back into the "available fields" list.
8. Use tab key to the OK button and press spacebar. Continue to use OK if
necessary to close dialog boxes.
The location of the controls might be slightly different with Outlook 11 but
you should find them quite easily.
How do I see who is in my address book?
In Outlook you can use CTRL+3 to move directly into your "contacts" list.
Outlook uses "contacts" as your main address book. Use the keystroke when
focus is in a list of messages in an open folder.
Let me know if the above steps are not the same for your version of Outlook,
and if that is the case I'll check a system at work tomorrow that has the
earlier version of Outlook installed.
Take care.
