Hi Doug, Sorry, not as quick as Control-G but very close? I would say that's about four keystrokes to get to it. Not nearly efficient enough. I don't like the timespan approach for a single date, surely you could hook Ctrl-G in there with the interface running?
All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: Doug Geoffray [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday 27 January 2009 14:02 To: [email protected] Cc: 'Sandra Fouts'; 'Chip Orange'; [email protected] Subject: Re: Window-Eyes Outlook Calendar Steve, Actually you can do both things. First, if your regional settings in the Regional and Language Options from the Windows control panel is set to show the date as dd/mm/yy then you can enter that. Since you live in the UK I'm assuming your Regional settings are set this way so it will just work for you. In fact, when we show the date(s) currently being displayed in the appointments lisview, the date(s) are show in your regional format. As for the goto date, we don't have this as written. But we do have the custom timespan. If you select custom then you can tab to the start and end date. If you don't fill in the end date then we assume the single day from the start date. So if I were viewing some day but wanted to go to say January 5, 2009 I would press alt-s (for the custom timespan), tab to start and type my date which in US would be 1/5/09 or in the UK it would be 5/1/09. After typing the date I could press alt-P to get to the appointments listview and press f5 to refresh to my new appointments. So yes, not as quick as alt-g date and enter but very close. Also, remember our custom timespan allows for a range of any timespan which you can't even do with Outlook itself. Regards, Doug Steve Nutt wrote: > Hi Sandra, > > It's all in the Window-Eyes manual.
