Sure, I'll help you out. JAWS has an extensive list of keyboard commands. Keyboard key combinations (called keystrokes or commands) provide quick and effective access to the entire scope of Windows features. Programs are opened, used, and closed. Letters are written and edited. Spreadsheets are compiled and calculated. Files are created, modified, and deleted. The Internet is browsed, and files and programs are downloaded. Through extensive use of keystrokes, the limitations of a graphical user environment are overcome. JAWS uses cursors to track system activity and speak the necessary information. JAWS keystrokes allow you to control what information - and how much of it - JAWS speaks at any given time by controlling the movement of these cursors. Most of the time when you use a keystroke, you are also manipulating a cursor. For this reason, many keystrokes behave differently for different cursors. In fact, some keystrokes do not work at all unless the correct cursor is selected. For example, if you try to restrict the JAWS cursor (INSERT+R) while the PC Cursor is active, you receive the message, "Before you can set restriction, you must turn on either the JAWS or Invisible Cursor." Some cursors only work in certain applications, or sections of them. The PC cursor cannot directly access every portion of the screen as it only goes where the system focus goes. The Virtual PC Cursor works in version 5 or later of Internet Explorer or programs that are tied into the core components of Internet Explorer such as Outlook, Outlook Express, and some help files. Outlook Express is a Web-integrated e-mail and news feature for managing multiple e-mail accounts. Outlook Express can be installed during the Internet Explorer installation. In order for Outlook Express to run, Internet Explorer must be successfully installed. Please visit http://www.microsoft.com for more information on Outlook Express. Note: The information in this section has been verified for Outlook Express version 6.x. The level of support JAWS provides for other versions of this product may vary.

In order for Outlook Express to run, Internet Explorer must be successfully installed. Refer to the product's online help system as required, using ALT+H to select the software's built in help topics. If you need assistance with JAWS keystrokes or want to know what new features have been added that JAWS supports, use INSERT+F1+F1. After installing Outlook Express, it is recommended that you specify your Inbox as the starting location of Outlook Express. To do this, open the Options dialog under the Tools menu. Move to the General page and check the box that reads, "When starting, go directly to my Inbox folder." For optimal functionality with JAWS, it will be necessary for the toolbar to be enabled. To do this, make sure that the Toolbar menu item is checked under the View menu. Text labels for the Toolbar also need to be turned on. Go to the Layout dialog under the View menu. Check the box that reads Show Text on toolbar buttons. You can also disable the preview pane in this dialog if desired. The Preview pane is used to view messages automatically as you move up and down the message list. Uncheck Use preview pane to disable this feature. If you want to leave the preview pane enabled, but do not want messages to be marked as read automatically as they are updated in the preview pane, go to the Options dialog under the Tools menu. Press CTRL+TAB to the Read page and turn OFF the Message Is Read After Being Previewed check box. The body of a message in Outlook Express is displayed just like a Web page. JAWS provides the same navigation and reading functionality in this window as it does in Internet Explorer. This includes the functionality of the Virtual Cursor. Please refer to the Internet Explorer help document for information about using the virtual cursor within html pages. Note: In Outlook Express, editing and composing mail is done with the PC cursor and reading mail is done with the Virtual Cursor. Outlook Express Options While working in Outlook, you can press INSERT+V to change your options. Select an option with the arrow keys and then press SPACEBAR or use the Execute button to cycle through the available settings. Press ENTER to accept your changes and close the dialog box. For information on the standard JAWS options that are not described in this section, see Adjust JAWS Options. Announce Header Fields with Message If this option is set to "Yes," then JAWS automatically reads the From and Subject fields when you open a message. If you change this option to "No," then JAWS does not automatically read this information. Read Messages Automatically If you want JAWS to automatically read the message body from beginning to end, change this option to "Yes." If you do not want JAWS to automatically read the message body after reading the message header, then leave this option set to "No." Tip: When reading messages automatically, the cursor may move faster than JAWS speech. If you stop speech with CTRL, you should press CTRL+HOME to move to the beginning of the message before continuing to read. Block Quote, Frame, Heading, List, and Table Announcement You can turn off block quote, frame, heading, list, and table announcement when reading HTML formatted e-mail messages, just as you can when viewing Web pages. To change these options, press INSERT+V, select the option you want to enable or disable, and press the SPACEBAR. For more information about these options, see HTML Options. Replying Directly to Senders on Mailing Lists Users that subscribe to mailing lists have the ability to reply directly to the message sender's address, rather than the mailing list address, by using the Reply Directly To Sender command. This command is not assigned to a keystroke by default. However, you can use Keyboard Manager to assign one. You have to be in an open or new message in order to see the view all headers. Maybe you weren't. If you are in a blank or open message and then click view, headers will come up. If you are just in outlook express itself and click view, you will not see the header field. Hope This Helps You Out, ---------------- "If you go without playing the trumpet for one day, no one knows, two days, only you know, and more than three days without practicing, girl you better look out, because everyone will know!" Today, I find myself constantly saying those words, just to get myself going, to not give up, and it works. Since I learned to play the trumpet at the tender age of 10, I have spent so much passion and much diligence with that instrument that I will not give up on it. Sometimes my instrument puts me into awkward situations where I feel like they won't ever end, but the trumpet gives me a lot of hope with the majestic, crystal-clear sound it brings to my ears. ---------------- Chela Robles E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx MSNWindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: jazzytrumpet ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Loran Bailey To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 7:51 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] O T Finding Email Addresses My switching my email from the AOL software to Outlook Express was recently discussed on this list because for some reason my emails had started to appear as black text on a black background. When I was getting my email on the AOL software I could look at the top of each email and read the email address of the sender if I wanted to. Now, I find that does not happen on Outlook Express. That makes it rather difficult to reply privately to someone on an email list. I think that it was Bob who mentioned here how he determines a person's email address using Outlook Express. It has something to do with making out like one is forwarding a message, but there must be more to it than that because simply doing that does not help me. May I please request that the technique be posted again or simply sent to me privately?
