Hi Shirley,
I don’t know what the notification means, but press Windows Key and A to get to the Actions centre, then you should be able to find and read it.

Re: Can jaws work with shared calendars?
Van Lant, Robin
I have recently been referring to 2 additional calendars aside from my own in Outlook. Once checked in the left navigation pane, and assuming you are using the day view, the additional calendars will appear to the right of your personal calendar. I find it easiest to use Control G to go to the date I need, then tab through my own appointments for the day. Once I have reached the last appointment, the next tab takes me to the first appointment for the day on the next calendar and so on. I am not yet aware of a way to jump quickly to the next calendar.

Hello, I first think we’d need to know what version of Windows 10 you have. If it’s the latest—1803 and all that stuff--, you can probably access multiple calendars in Outlook by using sets. I’ve never done this, but the techtalk discussion where Mr. Joseph Lee talks about the 1803 update should help. As for adding appointments, here’s how to do this. When you’re in your outlook calendar—CTRL 2 after getting into outlook on the desktop, find your day with right/left arrow keys. Press CTRL n to start a new appointment and follow the prompts. You can save your appointment/s by pressing the escape key and answering yes to the save dialogue.

Re: Difficulty with the USPS.com site in the USA and Screen Readers

Sent: 21 May 2018 00:59 To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Difficulty with the USPS.com site in the USA and Screen Readers
Hi, As I indicated in another thread and again apologies for intruding into that one. I am experiencing an issue on the recently new and supposedly improved roll out of the web site. When one logs in and goes to create a shipping label or print a label as some browsers call the link the following problem occurs. After filling in all label information such as recipients name address shipping date and whether they need to receive an email or not you’re presented with radio buttons for choosing whether you’ll be using a flat rate box or will be using your own box and entering package weight. When the latter enter package weight radio button is selected with JAWS 2018 or other screen readers it registers that this radio button has been adequately selected but the edit fields for entering said weight information remain grayed out. This is the case whether one uses enter spacebar keep pass through jaws cursor or touch cursor under Windows 10 and in all browsers tried such as Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft edge, Google Chrome and Fire Fox 60 with all maximized. Thus it seems to me that this is an issue with web site code not necessarily screen readers but that’s just my own hypothesis at the moment. As I said I reported it to the USPS the day it was discovered May 1st via Twitter and via their own tech support number and it was escalated as a sighted tech support couldn’t manifest the issue it’s only occurring when screen readers are in play. Sadly I’ve heard nothing back from them yet. So if any other users have USPS accounts and experience similar results do report it to them in the interest of helpful advocacy. I hope that clarifies all that was tried before I reported it to them or mentioned it on list. Take good care. Robin

Re: Creating group address with Outlook 2010 and Jaws2018
Mike B. <mb69mach1@...>
Hi Kevin,
See if the steps below will help you:
From: Kimsan
Hello:
From within the address book, which you may navigate to by pressing CTRL shift B, activate the file menu with alt f and arrow down to new entry and press enter. In the list box, focus on new contact group and tab once to the contacts combo box and select the folder to which you would like to save your group. You can press enter or tab to the ok button and spacebar on the ok button. Next, you are in the contact group dialog. The first field you will have available is the name field, so type in the name of the new contact group. Now you must add members to your contact group, which You can select members from Outlook contacts, the address book, or add email addresses manually. For the sake of avoiding writers cramp, I will only explain how to select them by addressbook. Activate the home ribbon by pressing alt h then press m for the members list. In the dropdown list, arrow down to addressbook and press enter. Now, select the members, as many as you'd like. Keep in mind that you will land in a search field first, so tab to the extended list and arrow until you find who you are looking for and press enter and that person will be added to the contact group. Just repeat this process until you have everyone that you'd like to be in the group. Once you are complete, press alt s to save it. I hope this helps. Kimsan From: Mario Try the following: press control+shift+l to create a distribution
list and type a name.
tab once and you will hear the name of the list, press enter, to add a contact, press alt+h+t.
tab to the list of contacts, arrow to a contact you wish to add to the distribution list, tab to and enter on members button. contact will be added, tab to ok and press enter. Mario From: Gene I haven't played with distribution lists much but you might want to consider just doing something like the following because its so simple. Start a new message. Put all the addresses into the message that you want. then, in the to line or wherever you placed the addresses, use control a to select all. Then copy to the clipboard. Open Notepad and paste the addresses in. Then save the file with whatever name you wish. In future, open the file, copy all the addresses to the clipboard, then close the program. Start a new message in Windows Live Mail and paste the addresses into whatever field you wish. Using a distribution list may have advantages,
such as removing an address may be easier, I'm not sure. But I seem to
remember that there are quirks to working with distribution lists in the new
version of Windows Live Mail and my proposal may be easier and less
annoyance.
I haven't done anything with distribution lists in
the old Windows Live Mail so I can't comment on doing so.
