Re: outlook calendar and sharing

In addition you can also press control-tab to move to the next calendar that is being shared and shift-control-tab to move to the previous calendar.

Depending on your perspective this may or may not be easier than pressing f6 or shift-f6.

When you're viewing someone else's calendar you might not see the name or title of their appointment but you will see when they do have appointments and your screen reader will hopefully identify whether they are listed as busy or tentative. I know this is my experience when I browse calendars that are shared by managers on my team. The inability to see the titles of appointments makes sense as a VP might want people who are sharing his calendar to know that he is busy but not necessarily who he's meeting with or what the meeting is about.

Marsha,

I¡¯m new at this too, but I just had some training on the calendar. The key f6 cycles between the tree view of all the calendars you can check and uncheck to show individually, the navigation bar, the ribbon, the status bar, and each individual calendar you are viewing. So my understanding is that if you cycle through with f6 and read the titles, you¡¯ll know where you are and won¡¯t have to look at multiple calendars simultaneously.

Subject: [office-accessibility] outlook calendar and sharing

If an individual uses a outlook calendar but then someone shares their calendar with them. How does one view their own calendar, with the new persons calendar layered on top? Or what if your looking at multiple calendars all at the same time. Or does one have to view one calendar and then another persons one at a time? This would make it hard to figure out what dates and times would work for a group. I know that other applications can be used for that, but I am also thinking about ease.

Thank you, ?
