I have spoken to both Fs tech support and Microsoft accessibility support without any success. The problem is that when I open Outlook 2007 in Jaws 14 or 15 beta Jaws will read emails properly for a while, 3 to 5 minutes or so. However at some point Jaws stops reading emails that are in html format. Jaws presents them in a strange format with many garbled text and the html commands such as t to move to tables and h to move to headings do not work. Instead the letter t or h will appear in the body of the email. And the cursor key (+ on the numpad) says pc cursor rather than virtual pc cursor which it says when Jaws is working properly when reading open html emails. If I close Outlook and reopen it Jaws will work properly again for a few minutes and then revert to not displaying html emails correctly. Fs tech support has been unable to duplicate this problem on their computers and have received no reports from other Jaws users with my problem. FS had me completely uninstall Jaws 14 and do a clean reinstall but that did not eliminate the problem. they also checked all my Jaws 14 settings and they seem to be working properly. Microsoft support says it must be a Fs issue since my Outlook 2007 installation looks fine to them. They checked all my settings for Outlook 2007 and nothing they did eliminated the problem. I also ran the Office diagnostic from the Outlook 2007 help menu and it found no problems with my Outlook 2007 program. So I am wondering what could be happening on my system to cause this to happen.

Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes
Hello Flor, Yes, this is true most of the time, but now an then I have run across combo boxes that when opened if you arrow down it activates the selected item.

For example, caps lock plus F12 does not give me the time. If I press F1, without holding down anything, JAWS says Windows F1 and it acts as though I were holding down the Windows key even though I am not. If I press F2 or F3, it says MK wheel click. If I press F4, it says Windows P. This problem only effects the function keys (F1 through F12). If I use a external USB keyboard, everything works normally.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word 2007 Checkboxes
Hello Muhammad Babar Shahzad, I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish? Do you want the document to be read only, or do you want to password protect? If password protection is what you want pressing alt F then E, followed by E will bring you to a password protection dialog box in which you can put in a password and press enter and you will then be prompted to confirm the password. A bit of caution though, if you put a password on a document and then forget the password you will not be able to get into your document. If making a document read only is your goal, then follow these steps. 1. Press f-12 for the save as dialog. 2. press the letter L for the tools menu, then down arrow and press enter on general options. 3. To check the read only check box you can press alt E or tab to the box and press the space bar. 4. If you have already saved the document you will want to save it again now with another name to make it read only. If you want to make a read only document no longer read only follow the previous steps and step 3 pressing the alt E key sequence will uncheck the read only check box. I hope this helps!
