Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Outlook 2003 and JAWS
Interesting. It shows you how varied and annoying computers can be. My experience is the exact polar opposite. Since I moved to plain text emails Jaws reads everything fine but in html things are much more unpredictable. I guess you have to find what works best on your system.

Jaws not reading all of a line in the message list. Jaws will only read what is on the screen so you might want to make sure that you are giving enough room for the whole line to be read. Go to the view menu and make sure that the reading pane is either set to bottom or off. Personally I have it set to off. If you have reading pane set to right then this will reduce the space for your email message headings and create the effect you describe. I also have auto preview turned off which for me makes navigating through the message list easier. 2. I do not use Microsoft Word as the editor and force Outlook to both send and receive messages in plain text. I do not have the problems that you describe so perhaps you should try these settings. 3. Auto complete not being read. Not completely sure about this but 2 suggestions. Firstly make sure that your email message window is maximised. Programs like Autosizer can automate this for you. If this does not work then experiment with screen echo settings You do this by pressing Insert plus s to toggle between all, highlighted or none. I have found that different installations of Outlook on different PCs like different Jaws settings. I have no idea why. Let us know if any of this works.
