I don’t like this approach. What if you get a document or book with the words Read Only in them?

 

You could limit it to Outlook, but what then if you get an Email with it in?

 

All the best

Hi, Pam. The solution that was offered was to put the words read only into the JAWS dictionary, and replace these words with a space character. This can either be done in the default dictionary file, (CONTROL plus SHIFT plus D), or in the dictionary file which is created when Outlook is open, and JAWS key plus D is pressed.

Hi,

 

Since upgrading to the latest JAWS, when I open an email in Outlook, JAWS now says “read only” before reading the email.  Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this?  It is a small thing, but gets annoying when going through a lot of email.

 

I think I remember seeing something about this on this list before, but can’t find it now.
