Hi Steve and fellow window-Eyes users,
Steve I had emailed you some time ago, regarding an issue I was having with
Outlook not reading the body of emails I either open or create. Well, it took
quite some time, but I've found out why that was happening. All that trouble
was occurring because my current copy of Office, (actually, Outlook itself),
was outdated. I found out, that the Home and Student version of Office only
gives you the trial versions of Outlook and Access. This would explain why
Window-Eyes wasn't reading the body of the message. If you haven't yet, if you
can afford to, I'd recommend that you guys upgrade to the pro version of
Office. It does give us extra programs to which we'll probably never use,
depending upon your jobs or school situation, but I found that things are a lot
more accessible now then when I had Home and Student. Now, if only I could
figure out how to get around using Microsoft Access with Window-Eyes, I'd be
all set. It can be used with a screen reader to a certain point, but for any of
y
ou who should need to use it, you'll need sighted assistance. Honestly,
Microsoft Access, makes Excel look like child's play. (smile)
