This problem has been acknowledged by Microsoft to be a problem worth reporting to its engineering team. Here is a description of the problem and my suggested method for working around it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><h2>Problem Description<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>When attempting to save a document (or an email message in Outlook) using the "Save As" option, the "Save As" dialog does appear as expected. However, if a person navigates to and tries to activate the "Save" button, a Tools context menu unexpectedly appears instead of performing the save action.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This problem appears regardless of the screen reader being used.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><h2>A Possible Work-Around<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have come up with two ways to avoid this problem while still saving the message or file you want to save.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst style='margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Instead of tabbing to and activating the Save button, you can simply press Enter after typing in the file name since "Save" is the default button that will be activated when you do this.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraphCxSpLast style='margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>If you have already tabbed to the "Save" button, activated it, and by so doing, brought up the unexpected Tools context menu, you can press Escape to close this menu, Tab to focus on the next control, Shift Tab back to the "Save" button, and press Enter to activate this button.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><h2>Conclusion<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have no idea as to when Microsoft plans to implement any kind of a fix for this issue.
