Hello; Try the following; Note, I'm going from memory here! Well, I'm not using outlook2007 at the moment, So this will be from memory; Try the following; Turn Off On (enable/disable) Auto-Numbering in Outlook 2007 1. On the Tools menu, enter on Options. Alt+t=tools, O=options. 2. In the Options dialog box, on the Mail Format tab, click Editor Options.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Keyboard On Laptop Stopped Working
With frequently used keys, they can get stuck over time, have dust debris under them, or slip off their base depending on the use. I would recommend gently popping the troublesome keys off, clean under them with a qtip and reset. If this does not work, I would simply use an external keyboard.

friends, if the driver got corrupted you could get a similar effect, yes get a USB keyboard, then run the diagnostics for the keyboard and its driver in device manager, and go from there. the other suggestions are valid... I'm not debating this, but I would check the software first since it's fixable, run a chkdsk to make sure the drive is working correctly and then run a scandisk to check the main OS files as best as one can if your used to the small laptop style keyboard they do make ones that are similar to it for sale.

They aren't very expensive for the basic ones. Next, plug it in and make sure that the Jaws setting for keyboard is on Laptop, not Desktop. Now, if you did spill something in there as some of the other members have indicated, tha keyboard may be the only way you can make the computer function. If it doesn't work, you might have shorted out some of the primary control circuits. Tbhat would be like holding down a key permanently since the contacts open when you press a key. If that has happened, that USB keyboard might not work. But Donny, it is certainly worth a try. Been there, done that if you know what I mean.

Re: [JAWS-Users] For those wanting to leave google search engine, here is a great choice
I kind of like it. It works a lot easier than Google. Is there a way to adjust the settings to get more than 10 searches? Also, there seemed to be more porn crap in the listings, is there a filter that is suggested? I recently upgraded to I E 8 and maybe there is a filter setting here that I forgot about while in I E 7.

[JAWS-Users] daily information
Daily Tip: Word: Change Save Format By default, Word 2010 saves to the DOCX format. If you regularly save documents to a different format (such as DOC, the format used by older versions of Word), you can make that format the default. Click the File tab and then click Options. Click the Save tab and then click the drop-down menu next to Save Files In This Format. Finally, click the OK button. Daily Term: user account An individual set of parameters and profiles designed for one user of a multiuser system, such as for each family member using a home PC. It often consists of information about the user, such as the user's name and the password required to access the system, in addition to information about which files and programs the individual can use.
