Re: Need some help with Outlook 2016

You can do this in your email account settings:

 

  1. Open Outlook backstage (ALT-F)
  2. Focus is on the “Info” category, navigate into the options with TAB and SHIFT-TAB
  3. Focus on and activate “Account Settings”
  4. This opens a drop-down list. Within the drop-down list, activate “Account Settings”

 

This opens the Account Settings dialog.

  1. Within the dialog, navigate with TAB and SHIFT-TAB until focus is on the list of email accounts
  2. Use UP and DOWN ARROW to select the account you’d like to edit
  3. Press SHIFT-TAB until you locate the “Change” button and activate it with SPACEBAR

 

This opens the settings dialog for the selected email account

  1. Locate and activate the “More Settings” button on this dialog
  2. This opens the “Internet Email Settings” dialog
  3. the first property sheet in the dialog is the “General” property sheet.
  4. The first control of the “General” property sheet is an edit field through which you can change the name of your email account
  5. Input your name and save the changes with the OK button
  6. Save the changes in the individual email account settings
  7. Activate the “Close” button of the Account settings

 

Close Outlook backstage and you’re done! The text you specified will now appear in the From field when you send email.

Re: How To Turn Auto-Numbering And Lettering Off In Outlook 2016

CathyAnne Murtha <cathy@...>
 

1. Open Outlook backstage (ALT-F)

2. Navigate the list of options with UP and DOWN ARROW and activate "Options" (T)

 

This opens the Outlook Options dialog. Within the dialog:

  1. Navigate the list of categories with UP and DOWN ARROW and focus on “Mail”
  2. The options for “Mail” are displayed on the right side of the dialog
  3. Navigate into the Mail options with TAB and SHIFT-TAB. Focus on "Spelling and Autocorrect"
  4. Activate the "Spelling and Autocorrect" button with SPACEBAR

 

This opens the "Editor Options" dialog

 

  1. By default, focus is on the "Proofing" options. If you want to make sure you're focused on "Proofing," use UP and DOWN ARROW
  2. When focused on “Proofing,” the proofing options are displayed on the right side of the dialog
  3. Navigate among the Proofing options with TAB and SHIFT-TAB
  4. Locate the "Autocorrect Options" button and activate it with SPACEBAR

 

This opens the Autocorrect dialog.

 

This dialog contains several property sheets. Navigate among the property sheets with CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB. The “Autoformat as you Type” property sheet is the third property sheet so you should only have to press this command twice.

 

You can make sure you're on the right property sheet by  using SHIFT-TAB until focus is on the property sheet tab. You want to make sure focus is on "Autoformat as you Type." There is also an "Autoformat" property sheet but it isn't the same.

 

when focused in the “Autoformat as you Type” property sheet, navigate among the options with TAB and SHIFT-TAB. Locate the following two options:

  • Automatic bulleted lists
  • Automatic numbered lists

 

These are checkboxes. Toggle the checkboxes on and off with SPACEBAR.

 

Activate the OK button to save the changes and close the dialog.

 

This returns focus to the Editor options dialog. Activate the "OK" button to save the changes and close the dialog. Repeat the OK button activation for the Settings dialog and you’re done!

 

They buried it a bit, didn’t’ they?

goes silent. I have to load Narrator to enter my PIN and Jaws comes
back to life.
Also it doesn't show up in the system tray and pressing JawsKey-J does

Hi Everyone,

 

I am having a lot of trouble making this fillable PDF accessible. (Both attached and at this link: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/oni/article/661427 )


Three JAWS users have said it’s not screen reader accessible. Specifically, that JAWS just says “document processing” and does not read the text.   

 

  I’ve added tooltips to the form fields, tagged the text, and adjusted the reading
  order. The “Read Out Loud” feature in adobe reads everything correctly. I’ve done a lot of research online, including using several guides to create accessible, fillable PDF forms and I’m still stuck.

 But when I run the accessibility checker, it does show *something *is off. it asks me to “caption” an “image” and it’s referring to all of page one!

 

I’m wondering if I tagged something incorrectly or the file size is somehow beyond the capacity of JAWs (which seems unlikely).   

 

Do you have any ideas about what went wrong or how to make it right?

 

Also, we are hoping to find a company who can create accessible documents and forms so that we know they are accessible the first time, every time. Does anyone have any suggestions for companies that do good work?

 

We would especially love to use an organization that prioritizes the lived experience of people who need/use assistive technology and one located in or near Portland, Oregon. But we’re open to any suggestions.


 Thanks for anything you can offer. I really appreciate your expertise and skill.

Re: What is the trick with multiple attachments in outlook 2010?

Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
 

Hi Debbie,

 

Maybe this is different in Office/Outlook 2010, but in the current 2016 version pressing first Alt when focus is on an attachment and then down arrow does what you say, however, it puts you into the “actions” and I have to arrow to the right to get to things like quick print, Save As, Save all attachments etc.

If I use Alt+Down Arrow as a single key combination as in pressing and holding Alt then pressing the down arrow, it opens into more of a context menu and I can down arrow to get to all these options, also doing it this way Jaws doesnot speak all the ribbon shortcuts. Like I said it could be different between these two versions of Office.

Sieghard

I could be completely off here, but whoever is having problems getting the alt + down arrow to work, make sure you are pressing alt and then down arrow. The alt puts you on the attachment tab on the wonderful ribbon, and the down arrow puts you on the attachment menu/choices. It does work in Microsoft 2010. That is what I have on this computer.

If you’re in File Explorer, you can change the sorting in the View Ribbon:

 

  • Open the view Ribbon (ALT-V)
  • Activate the “Sort” command (O)
  • Within the drop-down list, activate the sorting option you’d like to use. In your case, “Date Modified”

 

The drop-down list closes and the documents are sorted by the selected criteria.

I found myself lacking a few things for my contribution to Thanks Giving.

I thought I would order from Instacart and have the missing items delivered to me at work so I had them when I go home.

What an ordeal!

The web page was only navigable with the tab key. None of the quick nav keys worked. It kept edititing the search field when I tried.

I couldn’t seam to get the buffer to come back.

I tried it with Chrome, IE, and Jaws 18 and Jaws 2018.

I have auto forms mode turned off and it is set to manual.

 The escape key would not do anything to allow me to read the page. You have to tab your self silly!

And when you press on the very verbosely labelled button for add, a window popps up with the picture of the item.  You have to get that closed to move on. Don’t hit alt f4 because it closes the browser.

Has anyone used this with success? I was getting so frustrated I asked for help to finish.

Is it just me or is that site built badlly?

Is there a trick? I thought this might be a really nice and convenient thing but if it is that hard to do, no way!!

I tried it on the iphone with the app and it was also horrible.

if you just want to get to the bookmark list after it goes to the search box then press tab to change to the list.

Control plus I takes you to a search box, you may need to arrow up and down to get the automatic form field option to kick in.

One thing I truly love about favorites in Explorer is that I can have a
shortcut for it on my desktop. That shortcut takes me right into that
structure
that you, Jed, was talking about. I can cruise around in there, create new
folders, move shortcuts all around as I like to have them, even change
folder
names and favorite names to make them clearer as to why on earth I've saved

them. Is that method possible with Firefox? That's at least one of the
reasons
I've been hanging on to IE, even though people agree it's on its way out.

ok then how do you get to your master list of bookmarks? This is what

i don't get. It makes no sense what so ever. I tried control shift

B, and it said show all bookmarks, but none of them are there. The

only way i can seem to get to them is go to bookmarks, then just arrow

down through all 300 plus of them. What am i missing. Can you go

through step by step, cause obviously something isn't right. All i

see is all these bookmarks toolbars and other useless junk that

doesn't get me to where i want to go.

Re: getting to bookmarks in Firefox

Gudrun Brunot
 

Hi: I understand. With IE, I can actually hit my keystroke from anywhere, not just from Internet Explorer itself, and instantly be in my favorites structure. So, for example, I'm browsing a cooking store website, and I find an item I want to consider, think about, get back to later. I hit alt-a and save it in the default directory, favorites. I go on, get more items, then, I go to another similar website, do the same thing. I finish up by just hitting my hotkey that I created, I'm there, and I start moving the items into directories that correspond to the particular website, or to gifts 2017, or whatever I have set up. The I have the impression that, with Firefox, you have to go into Firefox and go to the bookmarks and arrange them. You can't just do them with just the Windows file browser as I'm doing with Explorer. Am I wrong?
