Thanks, Rick. Donald and Jacob offered the fix but I did try everything you and others suggested. It is all trial and error and more trial. marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Justice" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2010 11:35 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] outlook express options gone
: Hi Marilyn, : Have you tried Alt + T, for tools, then O for options? : If these keystrokes along with control + Shift + O, work, : then options is there, Jaws just isn't reading it for some reason. : You can give this a try if you haven't already, : Open the menu bar with the Alt key, then right arrow to Tools, then press : the up arrow twice, : after you hear, send and recieve, the next one should be options. : Remember, menus can be context sensitive, so if you are in an open message, : options will not be available, : this holds true for a message sent to you, or a new message you are : composing. : HTH, : Rick Justice : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Marilyn Walker" <[email protected]> : To: <[email protected]> : Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2010 10:47 PM : Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] outlook express options gone : : : Jacob, since I have not memorized a lot of key shortcuts, I I go to the : menus such as file, edit, view tools and arrow to the one I want. When I go : to tools to find o esp tools, it says send and receive, etc. So I enter the : message and go to tools and get address book and its following items. My : start menu is still cluttered with too many items but I'm managing on that. : So someone mentioned control shift E and that takes me to options. But I : still think it is gone from tools menu.
