Hi Victoria,

Here is something you can try.  It sounds like you need to widen your, From 
column, so more characters will show.  Try the following;
1. Go to the view menu, by pressing Alt + V.
2. Press the letter C, for columns.
3. Arrow to / highlight the, From option, & Press alt W for the pixels wide 
edit field.
4. Jaws will read you a number, backspace out this number and try entering a 
larger number such
as 250.  I have experimented & this#,250, works just fine.
5. Now, press enter to okay & close.

Let us know if this helps.  If it doesn't, there are a couple of other 
options.  Take care.
Mike

  Brian, Would something like this, help me read the full email address of a
  person in Outlook Express? So often, I only can find their name and not
  their full email address. This is so annoying when I wish to write to just
  them and not the whole list.

  Many thanks! Vicky
