[blindLaw] JAWS and Outlook Calendar

Fri Jun 3 18:38:10 UTC 2022

Hello Angie - I run into that problem also.  However, I have set my Outlook Calendar View to show the day.  That allows me to use the tab key to move from appointment to appointment accurately for the day.  I can use the left and right arrow keys to move through the days, but JAWS announcement of how many appointments you have is not always accurate; and that is why I always tab through the day.  You can also use CTRL+G to move to a particular day and then tab through your appointments.

**RECEIVED FROM EXTERNAL SENDER – USE CAUTION**

Thanks Nikki and everyone else who responded to my calendar question. I decided to play around with the settings in my Blackberry Work application (which is an iOS app, notwithstanding the name). I found a view in that app that seems to give me roughly the same functionality as I previously had with the iOS calendar app. This is a great improvement from the way the Blackberry Work app was set before (which required me to go through each day hour by hour to check my appointments). So I guess I will continue using that and not rely on JAWS and Outlook for an accurate representation of my schedule.

Thanks,

Angie

EXTERNAL E-MAIL - From blindlaw at nfbnet.org Hi Angie--I echo your experience, and I end up doing what Tai does. I am baffled why this happens though.

I am experiencing the same. I don't have any suggestions with JAWS, but I look at Outlook on my iPhone and can see all events.

Hello everyone,

For some time now, I’ve noticed that JAWS does not consistently report the correct number of events to me for a given day when I’m viewing my calendar in Outlook. I called FS tech support about this, but they did not have any suggestions other than to try different views and maximize the window, neither of which resolved the issue. Apparently, this is a known issue with JAWS and some versions of Outlook. So I thought I’d see if anyone here has a good strategy for dealing with this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Best,

Angie
