Can you explain in more detail what you mean by “Network area”? I just went to Settings > Network and Internet” and Jaws reads many things when tabbing through these different categories although I am using Jaws 2019.

Yes, a good example of where one needs to launch Narrator since Jaws through 2019 seem to be mostly useless in there.

Have you tried Microsoft Acccessibility? I don’t ever recall that a message I replied to was not telling me “Replied” when I arrowed down the messages in my Inbox.

Hi,

  Yes, I have the same issues.  Recent updates to Outlook have improved but not fixed the problem.  Sometimes the reply designation works and other times no. Like you, have not found a consistent reason or fix.

Hello, everyone.

I am not sure if this a Jaws or an Outlook problem, but I am experienceing strange and inconsistent behavior in Outlook with regard to  noting e-mails that I have replied to.

Up until recently, if I replied to an e-mail, and decided to keep the original e-mail in my inbox, that e-mail would have a “replied” designation associated with it.  I find this to be quite handy, especially when I have e-mails that require multiple responses or action steps.

However, within  the past week or so, I no longer consistently receive these “replied” designations.  In other words, sometimes I receive the designations, while other times, I do not.

This is a problem, since I sometimes can’t recall whether I’ve initially replied to a message, and have to go back into my sent file to find out for sure.

Does anyone know how to consistently restore the “replied” designation on e-mails to which I’ve already responded?

I’m currently using the latest build of Jaws 2019 with the Office 365 version of Outlook 2016, and Windows 10.

Thank you!

I do not have a sheet with conditional formatting, but I did just fill a cell with red.  You are not the first person I’ve heard say there was an issue with JAWS reporting the background color in Excel.  I’m still on JAWS 2019 1810 here at work and it seems to be working correctly on this version.  Not sure which update broke this function.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use Conditional formatting in both Excel 2016 and 2019. I choose to use a formula to decide which cells are formatted, choose cells in sheet 1 that do not equal cells in sheet 2, and choose to fill the cells matching the criteria with a red background fill. The conditional formatting is working, but using Jaws 2019, I have no way of knowing whether or not it is working, because Jaws reads “text color black, background color white” when I press Insert + F, and “Black on white” when I press Insert + 5 on cells that have different values. If I load NVDA and press Insert+ F on these cells, NVDA says “black on bright red background”.

Has anyone else noticed this? I am getting so frustrated with Jaws not being able to do basic things like this when a free screen reader like NVDA is able to do it with no problem!

Thanks for any feedback.

After you get into your calendar, try pressing control plus in. You should be able to then schedule your event.

Hello,

 

I’m using Jaws 2018 and Windows10. A few weeks ago I was able to schedule a appointment on my Outlook calendar. I would press control 2 to get to the calendar. I would then press alt and down arrow once time. The first thing would be new. I would press enter and I could enter the necessary information to schedule somethihg. Now the ability to schedule doesn’t show up anywer on the menu. Was something changed? Any thoughts of what key strokes I need to use?

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin
