[NFBCS] Jaws and Outlook

[Curtis Chong]

Hi Tracy:

 

Sometimes, when my Outlook misbehaves, I find that recycling JAWS with the
JAWS key plus space followed by F4 will fix the misbehavior problem.

 

Most everyone has JAWS start up automatically. I have chosen not to do this,
favoring instead to use Narrator during Windows login and placing a shortcut
to JAWS in my shell:startup folder. Thus, JAWS starts up a little later
after logging in, giving me a somewhat cleaner system. I got this suggestion
from José in Vispero Tech Support.

 

Kind regards,

 

Curtis Chong

Hi Curtis.

No, I’m not subscribed to MS365, nor do I want to be, really. 

It’s never worked since I installed Outlook, except in certain circumstances
which I can’t replicate and don’t understand. I’ve had a Jaws update since,
but nothing changed.

It is annoying, because I have to manually read each thing as I arrow
through, which takes a lot more time and repetitive keystrokes.

Hello Tracy:

 

When, exactly, did this problem start? Was it after an Office update or a
JAWS update?

 

When you say you are running Outlook 2019, I assume you are not on the
Microsoft 365 subscription. Is this accurate?

 

I feel your pain. Not being able to hear a message summary while arrowing up
or down through the list of messages is frustrating.

 

Kind regards,

 

Curtis Chong

Jaws does not automatically read message titles when I arrow through my
Outlook inbox most of the time.  I am running the latest Jaws and Outlook
2019. 

I have tried maximizing the window, but that doesn’t help. 

The only times it does read when I arrow is after I’ve had a Teamviewer
session open to have AIRA help me with some web page.

However, I tried starting Teamviewer today, without anyone connecting to it,
and that didn’t have the same effect.

 

I looked in Startup, and I only see programs I expect there. 

 

Anyone have any ideas?  I can call FS, but I don’t know if they’ll have a
solution. 

Tracy
