Re: [JAWS-Users] Need To Re-enable Hyperlinks In Outlook E-mail

[Brian Lee]

Yes, Tom said he was using Windows 7.  Here is his original message:

"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."

Hello Tom,

 

I don't use Outlook 2016 but apparently the problem of hyperlinks ceasing to 
work is a known problem to Microsoft.  There is a Microsoft fix that can be 
used.  Further down in this message is a link to the Microsoft site, which you 
can select and copy into the address bar of Internet Explorer.  After the link 
to the fix I am pasting information I found on the web with suggestions for 
getting the links working again.  

 

It seems that if you recently changed your default browser to Chrome or Firefox 
this problem can arise.  One thing you might do first is reset your Internet 
Explorer.  You can do that by going into Internet Explorer, pressing Alt with 
T, using up arrow to find the Internet options and pressing enter to open the 
options.  Use CTRL with tab until on the advanced page.  Tab to the reset 
button and use spacebar.  Follow the prompts.  After resetting Internet 
Explorer close Outlook if it is opened and reopen it or just open it if it is 
not running.  Check to see if hyperlinks are working.  

 

You might also consider doing a system restore to a point before the problem 
started.  

 

A couple other suggestions include uninstalling Chrome or Firefox if you 
recently installed them and try reinstalling.  

 

A couple of the methods shown in the article include working in the Windows 
registry.  If you are not comfortable doing so then you should likely avoid 
those suggestions or at least treat them as last resorts.   

 

Here is a link to the site with the Microsoft fix it tool.  There is a download 
button for the tool on the page.  When the page loads press B until you find 
the download button and use it to start the process.

"How to fix hyperlinks not working in Outlook

 

We will start with the easiest troubleshooting steps that take the least time 
and effort, so it makes sense to follow the below methods in order and after 
trying each solution check whether you can open links in Outlook again. These 
solutions work for all versions of Microsoft Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 and 
2003.

 

Use the Microsoft Fix it tool

 

Luckily for us, Microsoft guys are aware of the "hyperlinks in Outlook not 
working" issue and they've already worked out a fix. So, the first thing you 
should try is download and run Microsoft's Fix It tool for your version of 
Windows. The fix for Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista and Windows XP is available 
here.

 

And even if you are "I will make it myself!" kind of person, I'd strongly 
advise that you let Microsoft fix it for you in this particular case. Firstly, 
because it's a faster way, secondly, because it is much safer and thirdly, if 
something goes wrong, you know with certainty who to blame : )

 

So, give it a shot and if the fix has worked for you, congratulate yourself and 
you can close this page. If you are still unable to open links in Outlook, then 
please keep reading and try the other methods.

 

Set Internet Explorer and Outlook as default programs

1.On Windows 7, you can set the default programs by going to the Control Panel

[JAWS-Users] List View NOT DETAIL View

[Jorge Rivas]

Hi, Using Win 10 Creator, I cannot get list view to work only the detail
view, in detail view you have to tab to move around in your documents and
other situations, I always have used my up/down arrows, which makes most
tasks comfortable to perform.

First letter quick navigation works well, I preform the command alt V and
tab down the list and the only view is detail view.

Thanks in advance,

Tom,

Try one method for creating links and another for clicking on links, as
follows:

When adding a link to a message, be sure to press the return key right after
the link's last character. I believe Miriam made this suggestion yesterday,
and I've been doing it for a long time. Links are not shown as links without
the return character at the end.

When trying to open a link, right-arrow over the link's first character
before pressing enter. I've found that Outlook fluctuates between this extra
step being needed and not needed, though why it should be is beyond me.

Separately, I'd be interested to know if Fernando's suggestion works for
you. I hope you'll post the result.

The problem seems to be in e-mails that I have sent  and received quite

Once again, I want to stress that my e-mail is clearly set in HTML format.

I am between things here, and won't have enough time to try this and all of
the other suggestions I have received for addressing my hyperlinks problem,

Tom,

Try one method for creating links and another for clicking on links, as
follows:

When adding a link to a message, be sure to press the return key right after
the link's last character. I believe Miriam made this suggestion yesterday,
and I've been doing it for a long time. Links are not shown as links without
the return character at the end.

When trying to open a link, right-arrow over the link's first character
before pressing enter. I've found that Outlook fluctuates between this extra
step being needed and not needed, though why it should be is beyond me.

Separately, I'd be interested to know if Fernando's suggestion works for
you. I hope you'll post the result.

[LeDon]

I posted this comment earlier it didn't seemed to get picked up. So I am
posting it again.  Here it is: I haven't been following this thread. So if
what I have to say doesn't apply, then please ignore it. I was having
trouble with hyperlinks in my email. I am using Outlook 2010. With some of
the hyperlinks that I would get in my email , email from AFB, for example,
when I would click on the link it would take me to a page that would say
something like, sorry that link was broken. Or something like that anyway.
But the thing is that that kept happening but not to all of the email links
that I would receive in my email. So I call Microsoft because one of the
emails that they sent me wouldn't work. After some investigating, the tech
found that the problem was that email links were too long and Outlook 2010
couldn't handle email links of that length.  If I would get an Outlook
version that was not so old the email links would work. I found that If I
forwarded my emails to my outlook dot com account and open them in the Mail
app all worked . So I suppose that I will have to update my Outlook 2010 to
a newer release. So, like I said, this might not be what you have been
talking about. But if something like this is happening to others, this is
the answer. Get a later version of Outlook. Good fourth of July to all of
you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Need To Re-enable Hyperlinks In Outlook E-mail

[Brian Lee]

Hello Tom,

 

I don't use Outlook 2016 but apparently the problem of hyperlinks ceasing to 
work is a known problem to Microsoft.  There is a Microsoft fix that can be 
used.  Further down in this message is a link to the Microsoft site, which you 
can select and copy into the address bar of Internet Explorer.  After the link 
to the fix I am pasting information I found on the web with suggestions for 
getting the links working again.  

 

It seems that if you recently changed your default browser to Chrome or Firefox 
this problem can arise.  One thing you might do first is reset your Internet 
Explorer.  You can do that by going into Internet Explorer, pressing Alt with 
T, using up arrow to find the Internet options and pressing enter to open the 
options.  Use CTRL with tab until on the advanced page.  Tab to the reset 
button and use spacebar.  Follow the prompts.  After resetting Internet 
Explorer close Outlook if it is opened and reopen it or just open it if it is 
not running.  Check to see if hyperlinks are working.  

 

You might also consider doing a system restore to a point before the problem 
started.  

 

A couple other suggestions include uninstalling Chrome or Firefox if you 
recently installed them and try reinstalling.  

 

A couple of the methods shown in the article include working in the Windows 
registry.  If you are not comfortable doing so then you should likely avoid 
those suggestions or at least treat them as last resorts.   

 

Here is a link to the site with the Microsoft fix it tool.  There is a download 
button for the tool on the page.  When the page loads press B until you find 
the download button and use it to start the process.

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/310049/hyperlinks-are-not-working-in-outlook

 

Here is the info from the page showing different possible resolutions.  

 

"How to fix hyperlinks not working in Outlook

 

We will start with the easiest troubleshooting steps that take the least time 
and effort, so it makes sense to follow the below methods in order and after 
trying each solution check whether you can open links in Outlook again. These 
solutions work for all versions of Microsoft Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 and 
2003.

 

Use the Microsoft Fix it tool

 

Luckily for us, Microsoft guys are aware of the "hyperlinks in Outlook not 
working" issue and they've already worked out a fix. So, the first thing you 
should try is download and run Microsoft's Fix It tool for your version of 
Windows. The fix for Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista and Windows XP is available 
here.

 

And even if you are "I will make it myself!" kind of person, I'd strongly 
advise that you let Microsoft fix it for you in this particular case. Firstly, 
because it's a faster way, secondly, because it is much safer and thirdly, if 
something goes wrong, you know with certainty who to blame : )

 

So, give it a shot and if the fix has worked for you, congratulate yourself and 
you can close this page. If you are still unable to open links in Outlook, then 
please keep reading and try the other methods.

 

Set Internet Explorer and Outlook as default programs

1.On Windows 7, you can set the default programs by going to the Control Panel 
> Default Programs > click Set your default programs.

Go to Control Panel > Default Programs to set your default programs.

2.Choose Internet Explorer in the Programs list and click the Set this program 
as default link.

Set Internet Explorer as default program.

3.Find Microsoft Outlook in the Programs list and set it as default too. 

On Windows XP, you can do the same by going to Control Panel > Add and Remove 
Programs > Default Programs > Set your default programs.

 

An alternative way to access the "Set your default programs" dialog is by 
clicking Internet Explorer's Tools icon > Internet Options > Programs tab > Set 
programs.

You can also set your default programs by using the Internet Explorer options.

 

Restart Outlook and check whether hyperlinks are working. If they fail to open 
again, proceed to the next method.

 

Reinstall Chrome or Firefox

 

If links stopped working in your Outlook after you had uninstalled Google 
Chrome (or Firefox) while it was set as your default browser, try setting IE as 
default before uninstalling another browser to prevent the problem. Here is 
what you do:

1.Reinstall Chrome or Firefox, whichever was set as your default browser 
earlier. The download links along with the detailed instructions are available 
here: Download Google Chrome

Download Firefox

 

2.Set Chrome / Firefox as the default browser.

3.Check if hyperlinks work in your Outlook.

4.If you can open Outlook links now, then you can safely set Internet Explorer 
as the default browser. To do this, open Internet Explorer and click the Tools 
icon > Internet options. Then navigate to the Programs tab, and click the Make 
default button. Click OK and close Internet Explorer.

Set Internet Explorer 

Re: [JAWS-Users] Need To Re-enable Hyperlinks In Outlook E-mail

[Adrian Spratt]

Actually, this is where Justin's idea comes in. If I can't get a link to work 
in an email message, I'll press JAWS key+F7 to bring it up in the links list. 
Doing this seems to place focus exactly where it needs to be for the link to 
work.

I already have HTML set for my messages, and JAWS/Outlook didn't give me any

may or may not apply in Outlook 2016.

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 use Outlook 2010 and the length of a link makes no difference. What will make 
a difference is if the link is split.

I haven't been following this thread. So if what I have to say doesn't apply, 
then please ignore it. I was having trouble with hyperlinks in my email. I am 
using Outlook 10. With some of the hyperlinks that I would get in my email , 
email from AFB, for example,  when I would click on the link it would take me 
to a page that would say something like, sorry that link was broken. Or 
something like that anyway. But the thing is that that kept happening but not 
to all of the email links that I would receive in my email. So I call Microsoft 
because one of the emails that they sent me wouldn't work. After some 
investigating, the tech found that the problem was that email links were too 
long and Outlook 10 couldn't handle emails of that length.  If I would get an 
Outlook version that was not so old the email links would work. I found that If 
I forwarded my emails to my outlook dot com account and open them in the Mail 
app all worked . So I suppose that I will have to update my Outlook 10 to 
 a newer release. So, like I said, this might not be what you have been talking 
about. But if something like this is happening to others, this is the answer. 
Get a later version of Outlook.
Good fourth of July to all of you.

Nathaniel and Tom,

Checking my notes, I'll give what I believe will enable HTML format. Note, 
however, that although I went through these steps, I can't confirm they worked. 
I already have HTML set for my messages, and JAWS/Outlook didn't give me any 
kind of confirmation. Note also that these notes refer to Outlook 2010. They 
may or may not apply in Outlook 2016.

In a new, reply or forwarding message, press alt-o, then t, then h.

If this doesn't work, Tom, please repost.

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.

Hi everyone,
Just to let you all know that if you hit the space bar after the link it
will make it a hyper link. I have a little vision and I can see after I
paste the link and hit the space bar after I paste the link it will turn it
into a hyper link.
Just for you all's information.

I should also let you know, being able to access a link in outlook depends
on how it was created through the emailer's Message.
 Once you paste a link into a messageyou need to press enter.
For example,
With pressing enter you get,

Tom,

Try one method for creating links and another for clicking on links, as
follows:

When adding a link to a message, be sure to press the return key right after
the link's last character. I believe Miriam made this suggestion yesterday,
and I've been doing it for a long time. Links are not shown as links without
the return character at the end.

When trying to open a link, right-arrow over the link's first character
before pressing enter. I've found that Outlook fluctuates between this extra
step being needed and not needed, though why it should be is beyond me.

Separately, I'd be interested to know if Fernando's suggestion works for
you. I hope you'll post the result.

Hello Tom;

Hello Tom;
I also forgot to mention, when placing a link into a message, one needs to
press enter after the link.
So, perhaps the reason why links aren't working for you is because of the
way they're put into a message.

With a press of the enter key one gets,

Here's what's really interesting.

In your last message, you said:


For example,
With pressing enter you get,

without pressing enter you get,
http://www.jaws-users.com/help

In my Outlook, both links read identically.  In other words, there's no
hyperlink designation with either example;  just the raw text of the link.

This leads me to believe that there's something going on with how my Outlook
2016 or Jaws is reading e-mails.

I think we're slowly getting to the bottom of this.

I need to head out now, but will try some of the other suggestions I

Try one method for creating links and another for clicking on links, as
follows:

When adding a link to a message, be sure to press the return key right after
the link's last character. I believe Miriam made this suggestion yesterday,
and I've been doing it for a long time. Links are not shown as links without
the return character at the end.

When trying to open a link, right-arrow over the link's first character
before pressing enter. I've found that Outlook fluctuates between this extra
step being needed and not needed, though why it should be is beyond me.

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

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.

I should also let you know, being able to access a link in outlook depends
on how it was created through the emailer's 
Message.
 Once you paste a link into a messageyou need to press enter.
For example,
With pressing enter you get,

without pressing enter you get,

Re: [JAWS-Users] starting jaws manually

[Mike O'Brien]

Hi

Our experiences are the same.  When you install JAWS there is no hot key for
that version.  So you have to edit the JAWS shortcut to add a hot key.  What
I meant was that you cannot just edit the shortcut for the version of JAWS
you installed using a combination of keys that is assigned to another
shortcut.  Although I haven't made that mistake for a long time, it used to
be that using the same key combination would mean that neither shortcut
would work.

Mike, for the record, this is not my experience. Each new version of JAWS
I've installed leaves the shortcut field blank in the shortcut dialog. Also,
an earlier version to which I've assigned control-alt-j retains that
shortcut. I'm surprised our experiences differ.

Hi

As was stated below, you can control whether JAWS starts automatically with
the JAWS Startup wizard or in the JAWS basic settings.  Control+alt+j is
probably the most used hotkey for starting JAWS.  But a hot key is always
assigned to a version of JAWS while it is installed.  So assuming you're
going to install JAWS 18 now, next fall will bring JAWS 19.  So to again use
control+alt+J with JAWS19 to start JAWS, you have to manually change the 
control+alt+hot
key or delete the hotkey or uninstall JAWS 18.  

Rather than assigning hot keys to start JAWS, I prefer using the run dialog
to start JAWS manually.  To use the run dialog, press Windows key+r and when
the run dialog appears type jaws18  or jaws19 etc. and press enter.

Hi Mack,

When you complete JAWS installation, after the Activation dialog, it opens
the JAWS Startup Wizard. Amon other initial settings, you can specify wetter
or not JAWS starts automatically on Logon screen and/or after you log in, as
well as if JAWS will be displayed as a window on the taskbar (the window
have a menu bar for accessing various settings and utilities) or as an icon
in the system tray (right side near the clock at the bottom of the screen);
in that last case, items of the menu bar are shown as sub menus on a context
menu. To quickly access that set of options and utilities, regardless the
way in which displaying of JAWS program window is configured, press
INSERT+J.
If you dismissed the Startup Wizard or you accidentally configured something
in a wrong way, despite the fact that those options and more are available
in various JAWS dialogs and utilities like the Basics dialog or the Settings
Center, you can reopen this wizard by going to the Help menu or sub menu
(ALT+H) and then pressing Z to quickly go to Startup Wizard.
If you want to configure automatic starting without following the wizard, go
to the Options menu or sub menu and then to Basics. In this dialog, tab to
the Launch JAWS at Startup button and press SPACEBAR to open a second dialog
box in which you can configure automatic starting up on both stages as you
wish. Note that setting up launching on the Logon screen or for all users
require administrative privileges; therefore, if your user account is a
standard one, you'll only see the combo box to specify if JAWS will start
automatically on that account.
If you have Windows Vista or newer, you can also control these settings
through the Windows Ease of Access Center that brings up by pressing
WINDOWS+U, specifically through the Use the Computer without a Display 
WINDOWS+link
for the current user, and the one that says Change Administrative Settings
for setting up the behavior in the Logon screen.

Unlike other screen readers, although JAWS automatically adds a Desktop
shortcut, that shortcut does not include a keyboard shortcut by default. To
add it one, find the shortcut in your Desktop, press ALT+ENTER to open the
shortcut's properties dialog, tab to the Shortcut Key hot key edit, press
the hotkey you want, tab to the OK button and activate it with SPACEBAR.

Hope it helps!

George:

I tried following your instructions, but have now created another problem
for myself.

When I press the applications key plus J, I inadvertently get into a
situation where my personal g-mail address, and the person I'm replying to
gets blocked, and the associated message goes into my spam folder.

How can I reverse this to that my personal e-mail address and other e-mail
addresses are no longer blocked?

In other words, I wan to unblock what has been blocked.

This is getting way too complicated, and one of the reasons why I'm
seriously thinking of dropping Outlook as my main e-mail management tool!

Hello; here's just a thought, I'm wondering if Outlook may be disabling the

To access the option for preventing phishing links from functioning, click

Remove the check mark from the box labeled "Disable Links and Other

Nathaniel and Tom,

Checking my notes, I'll give what I believe will enable HTML format. Note,
however, that although I went through these steps, I can't confirm they
worked. I already have HTML set for my messages, and JAWS/Outlook didn't
give me any kind of confirmation. Note also that these notes refer to
Outlook 2010. They may or may not apply in Outlook 2016.

In a new, reply or forwarding message, press alt-o, then t, then h.

If this doesn't work, Tom, please repost.

Tom,
Here is how to check on the format that your Outlook is using when creating
email and how to change it if you want. 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.

For some reason, I have recently lost the ability to directly access links

Regarding the creation of hyperlinks in e-mails I send out, I used to be

Does anyone know how I can enable the huyperlink function in Outlook e-mail?
