Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening attachment and fixes?
Thanks Mike, I don't know how to save the attachment. First of all, it is a document from a friend. Initially I got a message, when I tried to open it that I could go on line to find a program to open it. I tried one of the suggestions but did not know how to use it, and I kept getting a message to buy something. Then, I clicked on the other option, when trying to open it, to use programs I had on my PC. I clicked on Acrobat reader then got an error message that the file might be corrupted or something. Now, I don't get any option when trying to open it, to use an existing program or go on line to search for one. Again, how do I save the attachment? When I get to the attachment section my choices are to open, or cancel. I've looked in the menus and applications, but do not get an option to save. I am able to copy/paste the message body in word pad, but not the attachment. How frustrating. Thanks for any help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening attachment and fixes?
Hi Richard, Here some notes I've saved on saving / reading attachments in WLM: From: David Hello there; You first need to have WLM allow attachments; 1, open WLM, 2, alt+f=file, 3, O=options, 4, S=safety options, 5, shift+tab once to options tab, 6, right arrow until you hear; Security tab, 7, now tab and uncheck the box; Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus. Now tab to okay press enter. To read an attachment, 1, open the message which contains the attached file, 2, now shift+tab, You should see the attached file, Press enter. You should hear; Do you want to open this file? If you do, just tab to open. You also have the option to save the attachment, 1, open the message which contains the attached file, 2,press alt+f=file, 3, S=save file, Down arrow and enter on save attachments, Now you will first hear the name of the attached file, Tab once you'll see/hear, the destination of where the file will be saved, Now tab and enter on the save button. Hope this helps. David From: Dean Masters hit alt + f then s then a A dialog will come up which includes a browse button if you need to change where to save the attachment. Dean From: Cornelius First, open the message which contains the attachment. Then, go to the file menu, and the save sup menu. Look for save attachments. From there I guest you know how do do it.
