Hello John, There are a couple things you might want to try to activate the link. If you are using Word as the editor in Outlook 2003 then you might try using F11 to move to the hyperlink field and press enter key. Focus should be right on the field if you move to it that way. You can also try listing fields using JAWS key with F5, moving down to the hyperlink field you want to use and pressing enter key. Focus should be placed directly on the field and you can try pressing enter key. Try moving the cursor a character to the left of the link and then use right arrow to move on to the link. If JAWS reads the entire link when you move back to the cursor then the field might actually be in focus and you can try pressing enter key. I just noticed in your message that you said that you are able to activate the links using the application key, so perhaps these possible workarounds are not what you are wanting. I am not sure why JAWS wouldn't be working like it should in a HTML message. You are obviously viewing the message in HTML format as the hyperlinks work using Windows keyboard and mouse functions. When in a spell checking dialog box, the JAWS key with f7 is used for having JAWS speak the misspelled word and suggestion.
Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of john R. Vaughn Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 7:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2003-not able to activate a link David and list, On my sony laptop, using the laptop keyboard configuration, I am using latest build of Jaws 11, windows 7 and outlook 2003. in the message below(as well as in many other messages), jaws reads me the link to the web site, but when I enter on the link, nothing happens and I hear a ding. I can only activate the link by using the Jaws curser and doing a manual mouse click(jaws key plus number 8 on the numbers row). This issue has perplexed me as some other messages I receive, I can activate the link with the application cursor. On pages like the one below, if I try and bring up a list of links, Jaws says "not in spell checker". appreciate some help here.
