Hi,

Open the address book press control shift B, or try the alt period command, and press alt enter and press the tab key and you can start re-editing the contact, keep on tabbing to the email edit . . .

and make your changes and press alt S to save.

Or, hightlight a contact and press the content menu and arrow to delete-enter, must confirm the deletion press spacebar.

Or select properties-enter from the content menu. and make your changes and save

HTH,

Adrian,

I am not brave enough to try what you are proposing, and I would not think it would work, as Outlook uses essentially a table for all the information.  In your situation, I would use the notepad file as a reference and then go into each contact to edit it.  If it’s helpful, I have my Outlook Contacts set to Business Card view.  You can arrow through the contacts and use first letter navigation to jump to the first contact starting with that letter.  In Business Card view. Hit enter on the card you want to edit, and tab through the fields.   I did not have much luck with list view in the past using Window Eyes, but maybe others have suggestions on their preference methods.

I find the contacts list in Outlook hard to read and edit with JAWS. I just now experimented by making a copy of the entire Outlook contacts folder and pasting it into Notepad. Now I can read it easily, and I see it needs some editing.

Here’s my question: Can I copy a Notepad file with my revised contacts list into Outlook’s contact folder? Will it completely replace Outlook’s existing folder, and if so, will Outlook work with it?

Thanks.

Mine says the same thing. I understand with a subscription, the software is automatically updated. I wonder when the update to office 2019 will come through.

For Office 3365, INS+CTRL+V says “Microsoft Outlook Supscription Version 16.0.10730.2008. For my Outlook 2016, it says “Microsoft Retail Version 16…” (I didn’t bother to get all the digits).

Hi I have office 365 and I am using outlook 2016.

So how do I then know that I am using the 365 outlook or the outlook 2016 that I have had before making the change to 365?

I have checked under accounts and it says I have 365 but then when will outlook updated to a newer version?

I have Office 365 and I am not doing anything with the cloud. The software is loaded on my computer (Windows 10) and all of my files that I create and edit are on my hard drive. I have found the only difference is that in Outlook 365 I have to use SHIFT+F6 to get to the folder list, whereas on my work computer that has Outlook 2016, I can still SHIFT+TAB to get into the folder list. Otherwise all the same. I also do not use my Office 365 for much other than e-mail, a few Word documents, and an occasional Excel file.

Hey Mike.

I hear you on that, and that’s why I got Office 2016 fairly recently as well.

I read a couple of FAQs and I’m still slightly mystified. But yeah, you download components of Office 365, but I think it’s smaller than a regular office download, and although I’m not quite sure how the subscription offers work, it is supposed to be cheaper than 2016/2019 as well.

Sounds like you want Office 2016 then. Office 365 is supposed to be “cloud-based” and subscription-oriented.

I have Office 2016 and it works well – better than Office 2010 did for the most part.

Glen, is what you’re saying is that I have to show someone else my credit card so I can get them read to me?

 

What happens if I don’t have a reading device or if I can’t read Braille.

 

When they send me my bill, it’s in Braille, and the bank says, they send it to me because they have to send something to me via the mail.  Personally, I don’t mind because I can look up the bill on the net at my bank’s website, but even on my bill, the credit card number is not displayed in full, the expiry date is not displayed, and the security code on the back of the card sure as Hell isn’t displayed anywhere but on the card.

 

Are you saying that I could show this information to someone, regardless if I’m paying them or not?

 

So those rich people who paid people to handle their finances had people who did that, and they weren’t even blind.  I’m sorry, but a card reader is exactly what blind people need, whether you teach that or not.

 

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if people who use this types of things could speak up on it’s accessibility with Jaws and how legible is it when read, and while we already got that earlier review, is there a review of one that has the ability to read cards with chips on them?

Victor,

With all due respect, I teach independent-living skills, and there is no excuse for a Blind person to not have this information available, either in Braille or on an audio recording, or in an encrypted file on the computer.

So to have such a device for a low-tech solution is either laziness or a lack of imagination, in my opinion.

Glen, no offence, but your view is fairly short sighted.

 

The fact is, a great many blind people don’t have sighted help with which to get the information on the card, and having one of these readers would be crucial, especially when entering information onto a purchase form, or some other information, like a transit pass or something like that.

 

Personally, I wouldn't want anyone else knowing my numbers, short of family, and yet, I would imagine there are people who would not even trust their own family.  In the end, card readers are a necessary thing for some  blind folks.

What is the point of having a credit card reader if you don't have a business?

The only one I can imagine having is the PayWithChip one.

http://www.paywithchip.com/

which is a site for those who have difficulty handling on-line transactions, because of lack of computer skills.

It is a bit like using Sero to make purchases, they send you a card reader for free so you can make on-line purchases through them.

But I keep track of my card numbers, so I don't need to use a device like that for knowing my card information.

I would think that these devices you buy are units that were used by merchants to make transactions, mostly in kiosks and small businesses, and they would probably not reveal your card information, you would not want the business having a record of that information.

I think it stores the information in their software for like 15 minutes or so, in case there is a problem with the card.

What type of card reader are we talking about? Is it something about half a hand width or is it one of those jobs with the chip, touch screen, and keypad? I've got the half hand width job and it is accessible. You plug it in via USB and it basically acts like a keyboard. And here's why I have one.
When I get a new credit card, I want 3 things off of it. I'm looking for the card number, expiration date, and name on the card. One item I know, the other 2 I don't. So I plug the card reader into an available USB port, pop open notepad, then scan the card. Something like this pops up after the card is scanned.
%B3820194571100334%Smush, Bubba R%1225%83295021113556
The %B designates this as a bank,  the numbers after that is usually the credit card number. Then there is a percent sign followed by last name, first name, then middle initial if present. After the next percent sign is the expiration date, in this case 12/2025. The rest is numbers which probably have meaning to the bank, but not to you or me.
All  that to say that they most certainly can be accessible. I'd be more concerned about the software used to run the thing. Is it a web interface or proprietary software developed by the business for their specialty? If it's a web interface, who are they using as their credit card processor? Is  the card processor's web site accessible?
If proprietary software is being used, has anyone looked at it to see if it will work with Jaws, or any other screen reader? If not, is the business open to having someone evaluate the software? Are they open to making some changes if need be?
Lots of questions here but you need these answers in order to make an informed decision. Hope this helps.

Hi, as well as turning off the reading pain as someone has already mentioned you need to go into view menu, arrangement menu, then add columns. In there you can choose what is shown in the list as you arrow up and down it.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, I have a client that when she opens Outlook, the subject of the message doesn’t show when arrowing down the list. Is there a way to reset Outlook so it displays the message?

We get instead, click here to download pictures, Outlook blocked some of the downloads of this messages.

This is coming up all the time.

How can we fix this error message within Outlook.

Thanks.

Actually, you might be surprised what OCR can do. Do you have a newer iPhone or a phone with a high definition camera? If so, will your phone allow you to install an app called Seeing AI? If so, you might want to give it a shot and see what happens. If you've got a steady hand and patience, you might be surprised at what you can get it to recognize. It won't get the card number, but you might be able to get everything else including the CID.

Shane

I can see that.  Whenever we get a new card I get my information for it from using the optacon.  Too bad OCR isn’t up to the job.

Hello,

I have been following this thread, and here is what I’ve always done.

Once I’ve read a message, I simply hit escape on my keyboard and it takes me back to the message list. If I no longer want the message I just read I hit delete. If I want  to save it for some reason, I hit my applications key, arrow up to move option, arrow right once, and here is a list of the last few folders I’ve moved a  message to. They are listed in descending order from most recent  to more distance ones. At the bottom of the list is an “other” choice and all the way to the bottom a copy to folder choice. Selecting either of these two takes me to a tree of email accounts and folders. I can move or copy the message anywhere I choose in that tree or if it  does not apply to any choice I can create a new location.

Anyway just thought I’d pass this along.

Al

Thamks much.

This is very helpful.

Tom Behler

George:

But, the problem with the txt format is that it doesn’t save links.

In other words, I’m trying to save e-mails with embedded links so that I can access them later if needed.

So far, I’ve found that only the .msg format works for this purpose.

Am I missing something?

Tom Behler

Tom,  if, you had follow the prompts while tabbing, it states, what format you want to save the doc, use your up/down arrow to select, I think it’s arrow down twice to the .TXT format.

Sorry, I didn’t write that in my reply like Adrien…

Take care,

George:

When using this method, what format is the e-mail saved in?

Tom Behler

Tom,

Another way is to press F12, tab once and rename your doc and tab to the save as or save all attachments, if there’s more then one attachment you want to save.

The file will save in the this PC/my computer.

the file will store in the document  folder in this PC menu.

OR, whereever, you save your work.

Now, you can re-edit the doc and move it.

Also, you can forward the file back to yourself and re-edit, whatever you desire and send it out. When you receive the file back you can save it.

HTH,

Adrian:

These are great alternative instructions, and I will definitely try them out!

Thanks for sending them along!

One question I have is this:  Lately, I have been saving more and more messages in .msg format.  I find that this is useful if you have links in a message that need to be accessed.  However, when you do this, you loose the ability to edit the message in any way if you want to add a clarifying note of some kind.

If anyone has additional thoughts on this matter, please post.

Tom Behler

Hi, Tom.

I have an alternative method that uses most of your steps but that has a big advantage.

First, instead of keeping the message open, close it with escape and place focus against it in the message list.

Press alt-f for file, then a for “save as.”

In the initial field, type not only the name you want for the document, but also the path beginning with c:\ (assuming you’re saving it to the hard drive).

Now, as in your instructions, tab once to the file format list and arrow up or down to the format you want. I typically select .TXT.

Tab to save and press spacebar.

What is the advantage of this procedure? If you want to create a single text file for all the messages, say, in a folder, you can do so by first pressing control-a for “all.” Then the “alt-f, a” (for “save as”) will include all the messages you want saved into that single file.

To elaborate a little, suppose you don’t want to include all the messages in a file folder in that single text file, but only some. I create a new Outlook folder, then move the messages I want into that folder. Now I move focus to the new folder, press control-a, and continue from there.

Copying a series of messages into a single text file can be very useful. True, you’re stuck with all the headers, which is when your MS Word editing skills come into play.

Michelle:

When an e-mail message you want to save is open, go to the file menu in Outlook, and arrow down to the Save As option.

When there, hit enter, and you will be put into the file name field.

Tab once, and you should find a file types option, where you can specify what format to save the file in.

I usually do either a .msg format, or a simple .txt format.

Then, go to your folder and file  list tree view, and specify where you would like the file to go.

I’m sure there are other ways to do this, but this is the process that works best for me.

Hi all.  Can anybody give me simple instructions on how to do this?  I can save attachments but don’t know the steps vfor saving messages outside the acturl program itself – say, in Documents.

Hi,

Shift plus up or down arrow is used to select the messages and press the delete key, or press shift delete to delete them to oblivient!

Or, press control shift V to move the selected messages to a folder  in the treeview list.

HTH,

I am using JAWS 2018 and Office 2016.  HOLDING Control, arrowing up and down and hitting space on the messages you want to select still works for me.

Hi all.  Have things changed in either of these programs when it comes to selecting emails?  I was trying to select various emails from y Sent box in order to delete them, but every time I pressed control up arrow and then space (I was going from the bottom up), JAWS would say “not selected”. Do I have the wrong command? Shouold I have been pressing shift instead? 

Thanks.

Adrian,

I am not brave enough to try what you are proposing, and I would not think it would work, as Outlook uses essentially a table for all the information.  In your situation, I would use the notepad file as a reference and then go into each contact to edit it.  If it’s helpful, I have my Outlook Contacts set to Business Card view.  You can arrow through the contacts and use first letter navigation to jump to the first contact starting with that letter.  In Business Card view. Hit enter on the card you want to edit, and tab through the fields.   I did not have much luck with list view in the past using Window Eyes, but maybe others have suggestions on their preference methods.

I find the contacts list in Outlook hard to read and edit with JAWS. I just now experimented by making a copy of the entire Outlook contacts folder and pasting it into Notepad. Now I can read it easily, and I see it needs some editing.

Here’s my question: Can I copy a Notepad file with my revised contacts list into Outlook’s contact folder? Will it completely replace Outlook’s existing folder, and if so, will Outlook work with it?

Thanks.

I am using JAWS 2018 and Office 2016.  HOLDING Control, arrowing up and down and hitting space on the messages you want to select still works for me.

Hi all.  Have things changed in either of these programs when it comes to selecting emails?  I was trying to select various emails from y Sent box in order to delete them, but every time I pressed control up arrow and then space (I was going from the bottom up), JAWS would say “not selected”. Do I have the wrong command? Shouold I have been pressing shift instead? 

Thanks.
