Hello Kelly,
I am posting this to the list, as I think there are several of us working
with Outlook, and parts of this application need a bit of gymnastics to work
with JFW. I think if we can get together, we can make the whole thing JFW
friendly, or at least doable. My boss wants me up to speed with the
scheduling stuff, and I think it's going to take some work.
There are two ways to create a rule in Outlook98. You can do it from the
Tools menu of outlook, or you can select a message for which you want to
create a rule, i.e. a message from the JFW list, press enter and go to the
Actions menu and use the create rule dialog. The trick to both methods is
to have your graphics verbosity set to say all graphics and to make
judicious use of your Jaws cursor.
During each step of the rules wizard you are presented with lists of
options, such as "check messages on arrival". To select one of these
options you must click it's icon. To do this activate the PC cursor, use
the arrow keys to get to the option you want, route the Jaws cursor to the
PC cursor, press left arrow until you hear graphic xxx and press the numpad
slash to left mouse click it. If you do a say word you will notice the
graphic has changed. I don't think labeling these graphics will help, as
they are different every time I use the wizard on my systems.
Here's the step by step to create a rule for the JFW list.
First you must create a folder where you want your list messages to be sent
after they arrive. Start from the Inbox, as the menu options are different
when you are in other parts of the program, like replying to a message.
Press control+shift+E and follow the prompts.
Once you have created your folder, select a message from the JFW list and
press enter to open it in in a message window. Press alt+N for the actions
menu and C for create a rule. The Rules Wizard will come up, and it will
have already filled in some of the perammeters for you.
It has filled in the choice to apply this rule after messages arrive. Jaws
will say something like "Which condition would you like to check. From
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 of 25." This is what you want, so route
Jaws to PC left arrow twice to the graphic and issue a left mouse click.
Now activate your PC cursor and start tabbing. The first thing you will
encounter is the list of conditions that make up your rule. Here you can
use the arrow keys to select, and press enter to edit the values. Leave
them alone, cause they are what you want, and tab to the "<next button" and
press enter. Now the wizard wants you to choose an action to take. You
should be on move to folder, but if you aren't, find this with the up and
down arrows. Route Jaws to PC, left arrow to the graphic, left click,
activate the PC cursor and tab once. Down arrow to the move to folder
perammeter and press enter. A dialog pops up and you can select the folder
you created for the list mail, and press enter. Back in the wizard, tab to
the "<next button" and press enter. Now you will be presented with an
opportunity to make exceptions to your rule. Hit the next button again to
skip this step. The wizz will prompt you for a name for your rule, he'll
even suggest one. Press finish, and check your mail to see if the rule
works.
I hope I've covered all the steps, if not write me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I'll take another shot at it.
Best regards
gator

Subject: Rules wizard in outlook
Hello there. Has anyone had success setting up rules in Outllook 98? This
wizard is a bit tricky to use with JFW. Could someone let me know how to set
it up so that my list messages are put into a separate folder? Private
replies might be best to save the list. Thanks in advance.
Kellie.
