Re: Need help with using jaws on microsoft online package

Hello Russell,

I am now using the light version on microsoft online. quite similar to
that of gmail. Please, does the calendar work well with the light
version? are there no key stroke like Alt +I for inbox as we have in
gmail? how do I use word online?

I will be glad you help with these questions.

Thank you.

Thanks, Russell, I will try that. I had gotten the message "Bad request"
when I tried the manual method, but I had removed the question mark.
Thanks for that clarification.

Pam

Hi Pam,

I wasn’t able to find the Settings link either, but, by following the
below manual steps, it temporarily puts you in the light version. From
there you just need to look for an “Options” link, click on that, go to
Outlook versions, enter on that, and then check “Change to light version”
or something similar. You must then arrow up to the save button and enter
on it, log out and then the next time you log in, you should be in the
light view. Make sure you delete everything after the question mark (?) in
the URL, but not the question mark itself before you enter layout=light.
Good luck.

Manual method:
After signing in by whatever method (probably
outlook.yourinstitution.com<http://outlook.yourinstitution.com><http://outlook.yourinstitution.com>),
look at the address bar, it will probably start with something like the
following: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?blahblahblah
Just go and delete the blahblahblah part, and put in layout=light, so the
new address would be https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?layout=light

Can someone please tell me how to find the settings gear that is
referenced in these links?

I went back to using Internet Explorer 8 because the mail interface
changed so drastically and became too inefficient. It still works fine
there, but I would like to go to IE 11.

I am trying to change to the light interface using Firefox or Chrome in
order to test that, but I am not finding the settings.

Thanks for any help.

Pam

Hi,

Here are the instructions.
If the following websites instructions don’t work by changing it in the
settings, then try the below directions:

Hi,

Yes, I can second the advice to switch to the Light version of Outlook
web
access. My workplace also just moved from Groupwise to Outlook last week,
and thankfully a friend had told me earlier about the Outlook Light
version.
It works great.

Good luck.

Hello, I have found that by far, the most helpful and important option
to change is in Options, outlook version, and to use the lite mode.
Then, you are not presented with Tree Views which are highly difficult
to navigate, but a more typical interface, very similar to Gmail's
Basic HTML version, all check boxes and links are very clearly
labeled, and Outlook on the web in lite mode is very useable.
Thanks.
