Hello there; Well, if you had the virtual ribbon feature on, You could have,
1, alt+v=view, 2, down arrow until you heard, Layout sub-menu, Right arrow to open, You then would have seen/hear, Using the arrow keys, Navigation pane button drop down, Reading pane drop down, The to do bar, button drop down. I set navigation pane to normal, Reading pane off, And to do bar off, There are also keystrokes to perform these tasks. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Alan Robbins Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 8:58 AM To: Jaws-Users-List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Frustrations Well hoping to get a few pointers here or at least headed in the right direction. As I've been saying, I am migrating from Office 2000 to 2010 and thus far Have managed to deal with the ribbons etc in Word & Excel. I have mastered the basics of those programs to do what typical tasks I do. now on to Outlook. I got that installed ok last night and when it first opened I was impressed that it seemed to bring all my info over automatically from 2000. All my folders, contacts, settings etc seemed to be there. From that point on it was all downhill. I kept all default settings to try to get the hang of the basics. I am using FS JAWS ribbon feature. I played with it for almost 2 hours and could get no where. I was able to navigate the folder tree and figured out how to expand and collapse messages. However I could not get my mail to come into the inbox or read any messages in there. From the tree I could tab to what I am assuming is the message pane. I could use the arrow key to go up and down to hear who a message was from but if I hit enter to open the message I could not read the contents with standard JAWS reading keys. I have a lot of mail to deal with during the day and somehow need to learn some basics before using this. I finally ended up uninstalling for now and reinstalling Outlook 2000 until I can be confident I can at least get mail, read it, adjust some settings to keep mail on the server, etc. From first impressions it appears to be a giant learning curve from 2000. Any helpful tips, tutorials, etc? I am going to look around myself too and see what is available. Just finding what you want in those ribbons an overwhelming.
