David: As I think I said in an earlier post, I ultimately got sighted assistance last night from my wife, so auto-numbering is now turned off for e-mails in Outlook 2016.
So, at least for the time being, I don't think I want to mess with anything. However, I'm going to save your revised instructions here, so that if I encounter the problem again, I'll know how to address it, hopefully independently this time. Thanks again for all your help.

Yes I did say it's a little tricky within the last step. Tom, 1. From the File tab, click Options. Alt+f, t. 2. Select Mail and click the Spelling and Autocorrect button. You can press letter "m"=mail, or down-arrow to mail. Do not press enter. Tab. Enter on Spelling and Autocorrect button 3. In the Proofing section, click AutoCorrect Options. Tab enter on, AutoCorrect Options 4. Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. Now hears where you need to navigate a little differently. Tab around until you get to the ok button, now tab once to cancel, and then tab once more, note jaws will not say anything, if you left arrow, you will hear jaws say, Auto format as you type. You now can use the tab key until you find your auto numbering, Note, if you right or left arrow, when your two tabs past the ok button, You will see various settings. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2016 10:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stopping Auto numbering In Outlook 2016 continued Adrian and all: I swallowed my pride, and got my wife's sighted assistance with this issue. It turns out that for whatever reason, Jaws was not tracking my options and selections correctly. For example, even though auto-numbering was indeed in the next column right after auto-bulleting, hitting my right arrow key once simply was not getting me there. Nevertheless, I'm going to save these updated instructions for future reference, should the problem recur. At least I was close to the options I needed to pay attention to.

I notice his original didn't include the right arrow step to reach auto numbering. I'm working in Outlook 2010, but it looks as though the steps haven't changed from 2010 to 2016 because David's 2016 instructions work on my system. One question that remains for me is whether it's necessary to tab over to "Okay." I did so just in case, but it would be nice if we didn't have to. 1. From the File tab, click Options. Alt+f, t. 2. Select Mail and click the Spelling and Autocorrect button. You can press letter "m"=mail, or down-arrow to mail. Do not press enter. Tab. Enter on Spelling and Autocorrect button 3. In the Proofing section, click AutoCorrect Options. Tab enter on, AutoCorrect Options 4. Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. 5. In the Apply as you type section, un-check Automatic bulleted lists, then right arrow once and check Automatic numbered lists. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2016 5:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Stopping Auto numbering In Outlook 2016 continued Ah, ok, Adrian. You may be right. When I get some time later tonight, I'll give things a try again, especially with regard to your latest suggestion, and will let you know how things turn out. I appreciate your and everyone's patience!

When you land on the bullets checkbox, don't tab. Instead, right arrow once. Then automatic numbering turns up. Not exactly intuitive, I agree. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2016 2:38 PM To: 'Jaws users list' Subject: [JAWS-Users] Stopping Autonumbering In Outlook 2016 continued Hello, everyone. I have tried the steps sent to me by Kimsan, David, and Joseph, and still can't get auto-numbering to be turned off in Outlook 2016 e-mails. I am not sure if this is a Jaws issue, because when I get to the auto-numbering as you type options, I can find auto-bulleting which I have unchecked, but can't find auto-numbering. Again, I must point out that I'm using Outlook 2016 with Office 365 and Windows 7 here. This is extremely frustrating, and should not be this difficult.
