Hi,

Unless you're running some sort of customized hybrid, Microsoft did not sell 
an Office Outlook 2006. Read this for details.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Outlook

You can determine the version of Outlook on your computer by determining the 
version of Office on your computer.
1. Please press the Windows key to open the Start menu search box then type 
the following:
Office
2. After having typed the word "office" do not press enter simply press the 
down arrow to review the results.
3. Please convey if you come across items such as Microsoft Office Excel 
2007, Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, etc.
4. You can press Escape key to close the Start menu search box.

To answer some of your other questions, to upgrade from Office 2007 to 
Office 2010 you will have to pay as well as upgrading to Office 2013. I will 
also add that at this point Freedom Scientific suggests Jaws users consider 
sticking to Office 2010--you can always call and ask for their suggestions 
as they might be working on Jaws features which will help bridge the gap 
between what is not currently accessible.

As for the upgrade to Office 2010 being "necessary," I am happily using 
Office 2007 as it is very screenreader friendly as well as very keyboard 
friendly; I've not found the justification to upgrade to Office 2010 or 
Office 2013.

Joseph the free tech guy!

Hi, I finally found the information on the version of Outlook I'm using, and
it looks like it's Outlook 2006.  If I update to the latest version;
1.  Will it cost me anything? (I don't think so, but I'd like to be sure)
2. Will I have to reconfigure everything, like set up new folders, rules,
and stuff?
3.  Will I be able to retain all the emails I've saved in folders on my
current version?
4.  Does 2010 have changes that will make it worth the trouble?

I can live happily with what I have, but one is always curious.  I'm using
Windows 7 ultima and JAWS 14 (still).
