[nfbcs] Outlook Autocomplete and JAWS

Hi,

There has been some discussion here regarding JAWS automatically reading the
suggestions when typing in an address in an Outlook email.  The speaking of
address choices stopped because Microsoft changed how this information was
communicated but an update to JAWS corrected the problem.  However, this
reading has again stopped for me on two computers.  I also can't get the
reading of suggested addresses to work with Narrator or NVDA, either.  I am
using Office 365, so I am suspicious that this is another Microsoft change,
but I wondered if anyone else has seen this.  I noticed that both my
background and Microsoft themes had changed somewhere along the way, so
perhaps there are certain settings there that might affect this.  I have
changed my settings to use no background and I've tried both a "black" and a
"white" theme without success.  I have verified that the autocomplete option
on addresses is checked.  Has anybody else experienced this?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
