Hi I was not aware of the control+f1 keystroke to minimize/maximize the Outlook 2010 ribbon until that email came in. As far as the button being inactive, I can only guess that there might be an Outlook setting to disable the minimizing of the ribbons. You can try pressing control+f1, and when you hear inactive, press alt+h to see if the ribbons are still there. Sorry that I can't give a definite answer.

What exactly does this mean??? Is this the setting it should be at? What does the Inactive mean? Thanks always. ----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike O'Brien Sent: Sunday, February 09, 2014 1:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws not reading lower ribbon in Outlook 2010 Hi One thing to check is are the ribbons minimized. Press alt+h to go to the upper ribbon. Then right arrow until you hear Minimize the ribbon button. If this is checked, press space to uncheck it. JAWS won't read minimized ribbons. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Robbins Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2014 07:26 To: Jaws-Users-List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws not reading lower ribbon in Outlook 2010 Having a strange issue, looking for suggestions. I have Windows 7 64 bit home Premium running MS Office Home & Business2010. I have latest JAWS 15 and using virtual ribbons. All ribbon functions work fine in Word and Excel and used to be fine in Outlook. Don't use them often in Outlook but needed to the other day. When I hit the alt key it takes me to the top ribbons. The file ribbon I can up and down arrow through ok. I can also arrow across all the top ribbons. However when I go to go to the lower ribbon in any of them, for instance view, it says lower ribbon and then nothing. No matter if I arrow, tab, whatever there is no speaking by JAWS. If I use the JAWS cursor I hear them so I know they are there. I even tried other versions of JAWS with same outcome. Is there a setting or something I have inadvertently changed?
