Still no hyperlinks.

I believe it also changes how incoming messages are displayed, but I can't confirm that. In outlook go to the File menu by pressing Alt _+ f. Arrow down to options and press Enter. Arrow down to Mail and press tab Arrow Down once and you will find a combo box that displays what format Outlook is currently using to compose messages. Arrow down in the combo box and three buttons will be available. They are plain text, Rich Text and HTML Arrow down to the format and press the enter key on the button of the format you want To confirm this change, you need to press the OK button at the very bottom of this list. You are still in a very long list of options. You can tab through all of these to get to the OK button. However, from where you are it is easier to go backwards through the items. Hold down your shift key and press tab until you hear OK. Release the shift key and press enter on that OK button. If you feel like you made a mistake in this menu, worry not. Hit the Escape key and the menu will vanish and no changes will be made. You will just have to start over. Note, my setting here was Rich Text and I had no issues with activating an HTML that was part of a message I was reading. In terms of inserting an HTML link, I usually just cut and paste these, but they do appear as active links to me and to the reader on the receiving end. so I can't confirm the typing method you described. Let us know if that works for you and which text option you selected.

I can certainly try HTML e-mail format if someone can tell me how to do it.

I don't remember the area to check this at the moment, but if somebody doesn't look it up I will check. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Monday, July 3, 2017 9:18 AM To: 'Jaws users list' <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Subject: [JAWS-Users] Need To Re-enable Hyperlinks In Outlook E-mail Hello, everyone. For some reason, I have recently lost the ability to directly access links in an e-mail, and have also lost the ability to create huyperlinks in e-mails I send out. Regarding the creation of hyperlinks in e-mails I send out, I used to be able to do this by simply hitting the enter key at the end of the involved link. Does anyone know how I can enable the huyperlink function in Outlook e-mail? I'm using Office 365, Outlook 2016, and Windows 7 here with Jaws 18.
