Office 365 works pretty well with Jaws. And both Microsoft and Freedom Scientific are always working to improve accessibility with the Office Suite since it is constantly evolving much like Windows 10. I am currently using Office 365 Home which includes Outlook 2016 as well as Word and Excel and a few other applications. However, these are the three I use daily and successfully along with Jaws 17.

I would go for that if I didn't have what I have currently, although office 365 keeping it on topic so david will not hit me with a wet noodle, I heard is accessible to a degree but don't quote me on that. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Zoe Fiogkos Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 3:12 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: defending myself hope this is ok I live in Ontario, as for email clients I'm still trying to figure out wich one I'm going to go with. I have used wlm in the past, maybe 7 years ago, not sure it's been so long. I'm going to have a look on the weekend at the stores to see how much the Microsoft bundles go for. I have literally thousands of save documents in the word format so I'm thinking I may go for the office bundle for that reason. I'm still debating it. Regardless of the debate going on about the reading/preview pain I guess I'm one of those who uses it and I love it. I've never had a problem with viruses or jaws and I want to continue using it so outlook looks like the way I'm going to go. I know it sounds like I've made up my mind, but it really will depend on the prices at the store. From what I gathered my husband has no problem spending the money if it's going to make my life easier. Another reason why i'm considering the Microsoft package is because I guess I will half to spend more money but I use word in another language and I have the Greek spell check etc. I do a lot of writing in Greek and having a spell check is essential. Sorry for rambling but it's nice to see people care. Thanks for everything, take care for now Regards Zoe -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Pinky Sent: March-10-16 2:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [Bulk] Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: defending myself hope this is ok Hi Zoe, Wow, that quite a deal you have their in Canada. What province do you live in. I am going to move there. As far as your previous questions go have you tried using WLM again and see if it will work for you. A lot of people use it and as far as I have heard most people think it is the easiest email program to use. Just a suggestion instead of spending big bucks to just buy Outlook.

The truth of the matter is that I was a little nervous about telling my story because I didn't know how people would see it. You know I live in Canada, and in the province I live in blind people are entitled to free software, computers, cctv's, brail equipment, etc. for free every 5 years, so if I really can't afford something I have the option to wait until my 5 years is up and get everything for free. So this so called expert who claims to want to help blind people so much should get his facts straight before he so easily accuses people. Anyhow I am just glad that everyone now knows who I am and where I stand so there are no more misunderstandings when it comes to my name. Again thanks so much for understanding and confirming my intentions as you read my emails.

You hadn't installed illegal software. If it was illegal, it wasn't you who had installed it. You aren't even sure it is illegal. However, you wanted to make it legal, and your question went beyond that. The software's possible illegality was a necessary foundation for why you were asking your real question. If anything, it was a great illustration for why we should always use legally obtained software. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Zoe Fiogkos Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 9:38 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] defending myself hope this is ok Sorry everyone, but I feel like I have to defend myself. I made an innocent comment on this list that obviously was misinterpreted by someone. I want the owners of this list to know I am not an advocator of illegal software. I asked for help using outlook on a windows 10 laptop and someone suggested I use my old outlook cd from my windows 7 laptop to install it now on my windows 10 laptop. I stated that someone installed it for me a long time ago and I don't have a cd and don't know if it's a legal copy. We all have been there, being new to technology and letting one or more people help us with something we have no idea about. I remember being so new at computers that when I got my first one, it just sat there for months on a desk, because I had no idea even how to turn it on. I remember hearing the terminology desktop, task bar, etc. and me scratching my head and saying to myself huh? If my outlook copy is legal or not, I have no idea. I certainly can't be held responsible for what people did to help me over 7 years ago. I sent emails to this group asking for help on how to navigate the office.com website so that I may purchase Microsoft word and or outlook. Apparently I was kicked off another list without warning because supposedly I use illegal software. For the record this is not true. My family just spent this Christmas 850 dollars to buy me a new laptop, I continued to spend 300 dollars to upgrade my jaws licence, I spent 100 dollars to by the code factory vocalizer expressive voices for NVDA, and if I need to I will spend money to buy outlook and word. I hope this clears up to anyone on this list who I am, and my intentions. People shouldn't be so quick to judge and accuse. If people use illegal software that's their choice, I am choosing not to go that route, and for someone to refuse me help and label me that way is unfair and unjust. This topic maybe irrelevant to the list and I'm sorry for that but I wanted to clear my name so that I don't get kicked off anymore lists unfairly. Please all accept my apologies and thank you for listening.
