Re: Navigating to attachments in Outlook
Tom Behler
I’ve actually noticed the reverse situation too at times.
It seems that whenever someone sends me an e-mail with an attachment, using an IPhone, Jaws does not announce the existence of an attachment, even though an attachment is cleary there and can be accessed via shift tab.
I’m using Windows 10, Microsoft 365, and the latest build of Jaws 2021 here.

Hello:
It is often the case that JAWS will indicate that an email has an attachment but in fact there is no attachment that we can open. This seems to happen with messages which appear as web pages more than email. It’s just one of those things in the modern age.☺️
Kind regards,

Hi All,
I think I started this thread, and I wasn’t using preview, so there was a glitch at some point that I encounter every once in a while. When it happens, shift tab and JAWS key plus A don’t work. I do know that it happens consistently if people embed the attachment in the email message itself.

Hi, Zel. Apparently, what they are doing is looking at the message in Message Preview, without actually opening the message. JAWS key plus A won't work in this case. I actually go into Outlook Options, under the General Category, and turn off Live Preview. This makes it necessary to press ENTER to see a message, and once a message is open, you can use either JAWS key plus A to get to attachments, or you can use SHIFT plus TAB to get to the attachments list.

Re: Has Windows finally developed a screen curtain like Apple has for Voice over
Bill White
Hi, Steve. All that is necessary is that the screen curtain be turned on, each time the operating system loads. Once done, the curtain could stay up, until unloading of Windows. This would give the user a screen curtain, and also prevent lack of video at load of OS.

For the purpose of entering sensitive data, the screen curtain is ideal since you can toggle it on and off very quickly.

You can use the "Screenshade" feature in JAWS to prevent others from looking over your shoulder when you type sensitive details. The Screenshade can be turned on or off with the keystroke, JAWS key + Spacebar, followed by F11. This keystroke is a toggle keystroke. Regards Sameer Latey
