Is there any trick to attachments?Hi,Bill;
I was trying to do that but when I got to certain areas, Window Eyes quit
talking. It wouldn't find or announce the advanced button. I'll get Ms to help
with that. Been so busy I haven't had time to deal with it yet. Too many
problems attacking me right now. I'll fix them all, one at a time. Thanks and
take care.

Lillian,
If you are referring to Outlook, for Comcast, (though I use JAWS) I can say
that Outlook is pretty easy to set and all fields read.
Can't speak for Winder Eyes, or Outlook Express.
Comcast uses some different codes, as they are more secure. Good luck.

Hi, David;
I sometimes have issues with file attachments when opening those sent to me
by other people. Not sure now, with gmail if I'll even see ones I send to
writers' lists since it doesn't put my own pieces in my inbox. That's a bit of
a bummer because I can't tell if something I sent arrived safely to that list
or any list I'm emailing pieces to from myself. If I'm sending a copy to a
specific member regarding that piece, then, I can see if it's there in its
entirety before hitting alt s to send it. That's one of the drawbacks to using
gmail for lists. I've been so busy with a multitude of things, I haven't yet
got a chance to get Ms to work with me to deal with setting up my Comcast
account in my Outlook program. I tried doing that myself and the screen reader
wasn't seeing certain buttons which are needed to manually set that up. If I
have too much difficulty with it, I'll see if I've got Windows Live Mail in my
Windows 8 computer and try setting it up with that one. Oh, this list is much
better. I can now read through my emails to you and others and find and check
errors before emailing it. Before, I wasn't able to do that because all I heard
was the word "blank" which I knew wasn't right because the s.r. announced
letters as I typed them. So, how could they become invisible? Take care.

Well, this may actually be two separate issues. The first is the "lost
focus" message which you get from JAWS. Freedom Scientific would likely say
that this is not a JAWS issue but is instead just JAWS's way of alerting the
user that you have, in fact, lost focus and that you're not really in an active
window. Admittedly, this can happen in Windows and is not screen reader
related. As an example, sometimes you press alt-f4 to close a program and the
operating system can't figure out what window to put you in and so it just puts
you in a sort of limbo state. In the past, a screen reader never indicated this
and if you pressed insert-T to speak the title the screen reader might say
"title is" without a name or something odd like that and doing an alt-tab or
Windows-M would usually place you somewhere. However, if it's happening a lot I
have a hard time determining whether the computer really is losing focus a lot
more or if it's a JAWS issue and, at this point, I don't honestly know. I admit
that I don't have Office at home and so Outlook is nowhere to be found in my
house. Here at work we do have Outlook 2010 and I suppose I should try using it
more with JAWS to see if I receive more of the "lost focus" messages than
usual. I know that, with NVDA, I rarely am placed in limbo but I don't want to
imply that this is a JAWS issue as there may be some issues on your particular
system that I can't verify. I suppose I should force myself to only use JAWS
for a few weeks at work to see if I notice this more than I should notice it.
For attachments, I usually save them by going into the file menu, choosing
"save attachments and then choose the OK button, which brings up a typical
"save as" dialog, similar to what you find in Word. By default, they should be
saved into the Documents folder.

Although I'm thrilled that pdf's seem to actually work as they were
supposed to and didn't for the longest time; I'm having regular difficulties
with attachments
I know David you said "save them". And that seems to work for me
frequently.
But, sometimes, and often when I want to open one, (say maybe a picture
or quick document) I can't seem to keep jaws from saying "lost focus.
Over and over and over going back to the window, and having jaws tell me
"attachments, 2 of 2 not selected" and when I hit insert up arrow to be sure
it's not in focus.
Any trick to keeping focus?
Thanks,
And thanks for the new list.
