Hi Robert, How to configure Window-Eyes for use with Outlook
First, you must install the set files for the most current version of Office or whatever version of Office you are using. This is done from the Factory Settings dialog, opened from the File menu within the Window-Eyes control panel. Indeed, Office 365 is the most accessible version of Office to use with any screen reader. At the time of this writing, Office 2016 is the most current version of Office, and it is the version included in Office 365. Then, install the Office Enhance app, and then the Outlook Enhance app, in this precise order. Even if the above two apps are already installed, you can reinstall them without uninstalling them. Note that a reboot is always required after installing the Outlook Enhance app. Next, make sure that the Outlook Enhance add-on isn't disabled within Outlook, as follows: >From the main Outlook window, press: alt-f, t, A twice, tab 4 times. Down arrow to disabled and tab to go and press enter. Next, arrow through, if something like Outlook Enhance is in the list, press space on it. Shift-tab to enable and press enter. Press Ok or close all dialogs you opened. Restart outlook. A point about the display of messages in the message window: Alt-Shift-V toggles the virtualization of messages, that is, the display of message content like a web page. This is the most convenient way to display messages since it allows the opening of web page links from within messages just as though you had opened them on a web page. Message virtualization can also be toggled from the Outlook Enhance app menu from within the Window-Eyes control panel. Further, from within the message window, the hot keys Alt-1 through 7 read the message headers, and, any of these, pressed a second time, will place the cursor on the corresponding header. Also, the hot key Control-Alt-A opens the Save Attachments dialog, where you can choose a location to save any or all the files attached to the message. Note that if the dialog does not appear when you press this hot key, the dialog may have opened, but you may need to Alt-tab to it. Attachments can also be save by choosing the File Attachments option from the File menu within the message window. Perhaps the easiest method of handling attachments is to press Alt-7 twice to focus the list of attachments, and you can tab through the various options for opening or saving any or all of them. Regarding the reading of headers or saving attachments, it is possible that these functions might not be available or perform as expected. In this case, it may be necessary to repeat the above configuration steps, or simply restart Outlook, or even reboot the system to reset all of the required components. This should get everything up and running properly. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert via Talk Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2017 10:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Outlook Not Reading Subject Lines in Email Messages Good Morning, For some reason Outlook has stopped reading the subject lines in email messages. I'm sure I've done something I should not have but I don't know how to restore the reading of subject lines in my Inbox messages. Any advice as to how to get the subject lines back would be appreciated.
