[Trainer-talk] 2 questions--creating signatures in Outlook2013 and accessibility of CRM

[Nancy Coffman]

Hello Bonnie
My best luck with creating a signature for Outlook has been to do it in word, select, copy, and paste.

Each version is a lttle better, in terms of technical accessibility, 2013 is better than 2010...  It depends in part on how it is used, in part.  Overall though my experience is that it may be technically accessible, by and large, that is you can get to everything and identify it, but for a screen reader user, it is a usability nightmare.  The screens are busy, laid out differently from what most people are used to.  It gives you lots of options, but as documents and sites perliferate, the options multiply too.

Part of the problem is that when I am where I think I need to write the signature, it does not read what I write. Of course, it's possible that I am doing something wrong but it does say edit. Any advice or info will be greatly appreciated. I have rooted the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor with no results.
