Hi Lenny, Try going to your contacts folder in;
C:\Users\NameFolder\Contacts\ 1. Open the contacts folder. 2. Tab to the organize button. 3. Now, right arrow to, New Contact Group button & follow the steps below from there . 1.Tab to the Organize button, which is the first control on the Toolbar. 2.Press Right Arrow until you get to the New Contact Group button, and then press it. 3.A Contact Group Properties dialog opens. This is a two page dialog, and it opens on the Contact Group page, which is described in detail in the Editing Contact Groups section below. However, the following steps describe how to name the group and add existing contacts. 4.Type a name for the group into the Group Name edit box. 5.To add existing Contacts to the group, Tab to the Add to Contact Group button, and press it. 6.An Add Members to Contract Group dialog opens, which has a similar layout to the standard Vista Open dialog. By default the view of the Folder view is Tiles, so the first time you use this dialog it's worth setting the view to List. To do this, press Shift + Tab twice to move to the Folder view, but do not select any files. Open the context menu, then open the View sub-menu, and choose List. 7.In the Folder view, select one or more Contacts or Contact Groups, and then press Enter to press the default Add button. 8.You're returned to the Contact Group Properties dialog, where the focus is the Add to Contact Group button. Because the focus is a button, you can't just press Enter to press the default OK button. Instead, either Tab all the way to the OK button and press it, or just Tab to a control which isn't a button or a link, and then press Enter. Sending messages using your contact groups In a similar manner to using contacts, you can send messages using your contact groups either in a New message window, or from your Contacts folder. In a new message window, you can type in the names of contact groups, just as you would the names of contacts. When the message is sent, the name of the group is replaced by all the addresses of the contacts. Alternatively, in your Contacts folder: 1.Select a Contact group. (In fact you can select more than one contact group, and contacts as well.) 2.Open the context menu, then open the Action sub-menu (access key A), and then press Enter to choose the first menu item which is Send E-mail. 3.A New Message window opens. All the contacts in the contacts group are already entered in the To edit box, and the focus is at the end of the Edit box. Editing Contact Groups To edit a Contact Group in your Contacts folder, select it and press Enter. A Properties dialog for the Contact Group opens, and you can then change and add information in this dialog. The Contact group properties dialog is used both for creating and editing contact groups. The dialog has two pages: Contact Group and Contact Group details. The latter contains controls for optional data that you might want to give about the group. The controls on the Contact Group page are: .A Group Name edit box. .An Add to Contact Group button for adding existing contacts or groups to this group. This was described above in the Creating a new contact group section. .A Create New Contact button for creating a new contact and adding it to the group. .A "List of group members" list view. .A Remove Selected Contacts button. However to remove one or more contacts, it's easier just to select them in the List of group members, and then press Delete. .Contact Name and E-Mail edit boxes, and a Create for group only button, for adding a contact to the group but not to your Contacts. Hope this helped. Take care. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Becky Buckner To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 2:30 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] windows mail Hi all.

I do not know what was changed. If I use shift control c while a message is opened the contact list is presented with the first entry already selected and I can only go through the list. If the email is closed the key combo brings me directly into the add an individual contact where I am first to enter the name etc. I somehow lost the ability to add a group. -----Original Message----- From: David Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2012 7:18 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] windows mail Hello there; If you're wanting to create a contacts group in windows-mail try the following; 1, open windows mail. 2, bring up the contacts with ctrl+shift+c=contact.
