So right you are George. That's the way it has been for years and will
probably remain for years to come. If you are happy with the 2013 version,
then I say stick with it for as long as you feel this way.

Mike,
I really like my Outlook 2013 and it is very powerful for all my business
and personal needs.
I have suggested this before on other lists and received a tepid return,
possibly due to blind people being low on funds or having a "jumping over a
dollar to grab a penny" attitude but Dan Clark does a terrific webinar at FS
on Outlook. When I took it the cost was $29 but now is about $70 but still
a huge bargain for 3 1.5hour webinars on Outlook where you can download the
class audio and a plethora of materials. He does the same for Excel and
Word.
The other thing to consider here is that JAWS 17 is still on the verge of
release and even after it releases it always takes FS an update or two to
figure out the latest Office Suite and that it is just the way it is and
always has been.
So, all of the little niggly things with JAWS and the new Office 365 are to
be expected and will mostly go away after an update or two into JAWS 17.

Dan,
I am not really an Outlook user, as I haven't used it in many years. I have
been considering returning back to it however. I really need to read some
tutorials or other training material to be able to understand how the
program works now. So, I really cannot answer your concerns at this time. I
would suggest this, on the Office.com web site, you can click on the "See
what's new" link, and it gives you a quick run down on what the major
changes have been, plus, it has some links that lead to training materials
and other support resources. Maybe some of this information would be helpful
to you to see what the differences are and how to address them.

Hi mike,
Just upgraded to office 2016. In outlook 2016 when scrolling messages jaws
16 says *from* mike and *subject( xxxx
Why the extra noise now? How do I stop jaws from saying *from*mike to just
mike
In outlook 2013 next to my inbox jaws used to read aloud the number of new
messages i.e inbox10. In 2016 jaws says inbox closed.
Any thoughts?

Hi Dan,
Yes, I have fooled around with it a bit, plus I asked before installing the
upgrade if this was an issue, and Microsoft Accessibility told me that there
were no issues between JAWS 16 and Office 2016. So far as I can tell, they
are telling the truth. The Office applications actually seem to load faster
than the Office 2013 apps did, and no hiccups so far. I created one new
workbook in Excel2016, and opened and edited some other types of documents
with Word, Powerpoint, and Access with no trouble. After you install the
upgrade, Microsoft has some links available with training on the new
release, as well as general Office training too.

I just upgraded my Office 365 subscription from 2013 to 2016. Everything
seems to be working well. The applications open very quickly and so far no
troubles. I have read about the new features now available in the different
applications, but have not tried any of them out yet. I will be doing some
of this within the next couple of days. Running Windows 10 by the way. There
seems to be no complications with JAWS 16, I checked on the compatibility
before upgrading, and was told that there should be full compatibility.
