Hi Chip,
Thanks for pointing Peter towards GW Micro's How Do I do That? video tutorials for more information on how to use Outlook 2010. I wanted to respond to your comments about the links for downloading the tutorials not being setup clearly. You are correct that when activating the link for the MP4 version of the video, the video will start to stream in your browser instead of bringing up a file download dialog. With that being said, this behavior is not dictated by the HTML markup and coding used to create the link but instead by the settings of your web browser. Here is an excerpt from a knowledge base article on the subject: "With most media files, if you click a link to them you will be prompted to download them. For media files associated with some plugins (Acrobat, Quicktime, Windows Media and Flash files, for example), they will open automatically inside a browser window or in an external player instead." If you wish to change this behavior, you would need to customize the options in your web browser. In Firefox, you can go to the Options dialog and then the Applications page. From this location, you can customize what actions are taken by Firefox for each content type by selecting the content type from the list and then changing the selection of its associated action combo box.

However, I should mention there are several outlook related tutorials on the GW web site at: http://www.gwmicro.com/Training/Tutorials/#hdidt including one on how to use outlook's calendar. you can listen to it there using their own player, or, there's a link for downloading the .mp4 file. It's unfortunate though, but I think the link for downloading the audio isn't at all clearly setup; if you click it (as most people will do) to get a download, you won't get the download. You have to right click this link and choose to "save target as" from the context menu in order to be able to download the .mp4 filel clicking the download link just starts it playing using Windows Media Player on your pc. There are likely helpful articles in the GW support page knowledgebase on use of Outlook as well. I also think Access Technology Institute sells an e-book with audio tutorials on how to use Outlook 2010 with Window Eyes. GW had partnered with some other company to create similar e-books, and I know they had one ready for use of Word 2010, but I don't know if the one for Outlook 2010 is ready, and it's very hard to locate this info on the GW site (at least last time I looked). I can't remember the company's name, as it wasn't one which stuck with me, but I'm sure GW support can provide the missing info. I suspect buying either of these books will be a good investment for your future, as almost every employer uses MS Office and Outlook. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Wolfe [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 1:35 PM > To: gw-info > Subject: Outlook 2010, sharepoint and share drive help needed > > Dear all, > > > Can somebody or anybody give me general advice in dealing > with Outlook 2010, Sharepoint 2010 andf Sharedrive 2010 with > the latest version of Window-Eyes on a Windows XP computer? > Right now my home computer is unoperational and I'm at my > internship site in D.C just don't have a lot of time to look > up this information.
