Hi Sandra,
It's all in the Window-Eyes manual. Alt-X for next day, Alt-V for
previous
day, Alt-R for current. The only thing missing I believe in the WE
interface is go to date. This would be nice. Say for example from the
WE
interfvace, it would be nice to hit Alt-G then type in a date in the
format
of your Windows language, in the UK today would be 24/01/09 and in the
US,
01/24/09, the only country I know that does it upside down <Smile>. But
in
any event, I believe go to date is not there in the WE interface to the
calendar. So you have to come out of it, go to a date with the Outlook
calendar and then go back in.
This would be a nice addition.
All the best
Steve

Okay. Insert-C will tell me what I want to know for today, but how do I
go
back a day or more?

Chip,
I suggest you give the Window-Eyes Outlook Calendar feature (insert-c) a
try. It is nothing like the native Outlook "active appointments" view.
The
native user interface (even when tried to make accessible as JAWS tried)
just doesn't cut it from the keyboard. Outlook's native interface was
designed for sighted users who can look at the entire view and use the
mouse
to click quickly to what they want with limited clumsy keyboard support
added. This is why we didn't waste time in trying to make the native
user
interface accessible (which we easily could have done). Instead we
designed
a very powerful and blind friendly accessible dialog making it much more
efficient for a blind user and even adding additional functionality that
Outlook doesn't provide along the way.
When you press insert-c, it will populate the listvew of appointments
based
on the radio button by Day, work week, week, month, year or custom.
Note,
this is already more powerful then the native Outlook user interface as
you
don't have this many options to view. The listview is much more
efficient
to navigate as well. The appointments which are used are based on the
calendars you have selected in Outlook. So if you want three of your
personal calendars and twenty other co-workers, you would simply select
the
calendars you want using the native Outlook interface as this part is
very
accessible. This is the same interface a sighted user would have to use
to
display the same calendars. Depending on the version of Outlook the
procedure is slightly different. Then when you press insert-C,
Window-Eyes
looks to see what calendars you have selected and shows all the
appointments
from these calendars. You can easily determine which appointment came
from
which calendar from our dialog if you need to know this.
I've only scratched the surface with our dialog but I hope this helps you
to
better understand the real power and potential from our dialog versus the
keyboard clumsy Outlook interface. Our manual describes everything in
much
more detail if you are interested in more.
Regards,
Doug

Sorry again John, my bad here.
I had switched back to jaws (I have to because of problems where
window
eyes doesn't read office "intellisense" so I can't do my job
using
it),
and so I didn't get the correct results from insert C.
I see now you want the list view (this is virtually the same, in
case
you don't know this already, as the "active appointments" view
available
in outlook).
So, one thing you could do is open the other person's calendar,
and
change the outlook view to be either "events" or "active
appointments",
which would give you this list format.
That's the only way I see for you to handle this; however, GW
could
now
easily implement this command as a script (and perhaps eliminate
their
com add-in for outlook). They could give you the info from the
currently displayed calendar, rather than the default one for
your
account, which when I tried it is what they're doing.
That is, even though I had someone else's calendar displayed, the
insert
C command gave me the info from mine.
This should be easily scripted, so if you're into scripts at all
you
could do this yourself right now.
hth,
Chip

John,
I'm sorry, but I *still* don't understand your question
then?
If you need to see someone else's calendar in outlook,
you
would follow
the steps I mentioned, then use the window eyes calendar
view you
mentioned to give you the view of the calendar you
wanted.
BTW, the command insert plus C gives me the error message
"word not
found" in outlook 2003.
I don't know what this command normally does, does it
open
the outlook
calendar folder for you, saving you the trouble of using
the
outlook
command control-2?

Thanks for this Cjhip, but it did not answer my
question.
I believe you have described the "native" Outlook
facility.
I was look for a way of using the Window-Eyes
calendar view
which you
initiate with <insert>c
Thanks.

Well, first, the other people in question must
give
you permision
through the outlook options, the "delegates" tab.
Once they've done this, you can see their entire
calendar via
the "file
| open" menu choices.
Or, you can see their calendar indirectly via
trying
to schedule a
meeting and including them. it will tell you if
they're
free or not.

The facility that WE gives of an easy
view
of the Outlook
calendar is
very useful and easy to use.
It would be better if I were able to look
at
other people's
calendars
as well as my own. Outlook itself does
allow
this.
Can it be done, and is so, how please?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, John.
