[NFBCS] Image in email

[Tracy Carcione]

Thanks Curtis.  That worked.  The only bit that didn't work is that
apparently some of the codes were blue and some yellow, which didn't show up
in the OCR, so I still had to ask my colleague.  

But I am now notified that there are images, and I was able to read them, so
it's better than it was. I'm sure I'll need this kind of thing again.

Thanks.

Tracy

Hello Tracy:

 

Here is what you need to do. Right now, by default, in Outlook, JAWS is set
not to report any graphics at all. At least, it won't report graphics that
are not labeled-such as screen prints.

 

Go into Quick Settings by pressing JAWSKEY+V. Search for Graphics. Press
Space repeatedly until you hear All. Then activate the OK button.

 

I have been forced to do this myself because, from time to time, the place
where I live sends out menus that are, essentially, graphic screen prints.

 

Of course, once you have determined there is a graphic in the message, you
will probably then want to paste the message into Word, save it as a PDF,
and perform JAWS Convenient OCR.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong

I received an email about a report I need to write, and apparently it
contained an image or some sort, including some data I need for the specs.
But I saw no indication of any sort that there was an image, or where it
might be, except someone else referring to it being there.

How can I tell if an email contains an image?  If I suspect it does, do I
copy the whole email to Word, then save as PDF, then run Jaws OCR on that
PDF?  Is that the right process?

I sent the email to a colleague, and she saw the data no problem, but I
don't see it at all.

Tracy
