Hi,

If you're using JAWS, when you're on the scheduler & focus is on any
of the editable fields:

1) Press Alt + JAWS key + W to virtualise the window
2) Read through the virtualised page until you here 'Suggested times'
3) Then you should find more details about availability of attendees
on the selected date

Unfortunately you have to keep changing the date to view availability
on other days, as JAWS only seems to read the availability for the day. HTH.

Regards,
LU

Scheduling assistant displays a chart of available times for meeting
attendees, so as the organizer, you can select a time that works best
for the schedules of everyone in the group. I have not figured out
how to make it work with a screen reader, since it is visual. Any
suggestions from this group would be much appreciated.

Well,

All I can say is I'm glad that using multiple people's calendars works
for some people.

When I open somebody else's Calendar and navigate between My Calendar
and that one, every time I do something like change days in the other
calendar I find myself back in my calendar.

This is still the most frustrating aspect of using outlook as far as I
am concerned!

One of my blind colleagues has some success with using scheduling

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.

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

other applications can be used for that, but I am also thinking about ease.

Hello, thank you for the information on creating a group for contacts.? I have tried the control 3 and it brought the list but, when I typed the H and then C and G all it did was take me to contacts with the first letter of C and G.? I am using Outlook 19 with Jaws 20.. Don’t know if your instruction work with what I have.

If you can let me know how to do this with Jaws 20, I would appreciate it.? Supposing going to Control Shift B, I thought that would allow me to create a Group but, it says no list.Thank you in advance for any help.? Andy and Shubert

Mike, I don’t call that lazy, for me it is efficient.

Control #3 for contact list.

Alt h, c, g name the contact group

Alt h, m a ?to get to contacts in your address book.

and down arrow through your contact list

press Enter on names you want to add to the group

Then tap to ok when finished with the entire list and

Alt s to save group list.

?

?

I’m lazy.? I type in the recipients of the group I’m going to send to often in a message.? Then I copy and paste the list into a notepad file and put it in a handy place with a memorable name.? Notably, I only do this with groups I regularly send to such as my Board of Directors or staff.

Hi Paul. For sure creating groups in outlook can be tedious. Here’s what I do. If I have a group that I post to on a regular basis I create a simple spreadsheet in excel with each persons email address going down the left-hand column. Start at row 1 column 1 and enter each address in a separate cell down the column. Save this sheet with the group name, or whatever you wish. When you want to post to the group, open the sheet and select column A by holding control Shift and pressing down arrow. Copy the selected cells to clip board. Next, open outlook and begin composing a new message. Paste the contents of the clip board in to the To field and go ahead with the rest of the message.

?

Hope this helps.

?

?

Using Outlook 2016, JAWS 2020.

I have created groups, however, people are saying it doesn’t work and/or I have had issues adding people to them.

The group is part of a team in Teams so perhaps the team email is the best way to go.

I need to reach this group with information and want to avoid having to remember and add in each person each time I want to contact the group.

Suggestions please.

Thank you.

Hello,
When checking what version of Microsoft outlook you have, you pressed Jaws
plus control plus v.
Hear Jaws use to say 2013 or 2016.
But now since I have office 365 I am told I have Microsoft subscription 16.
since I purchased this version I thought I had 2019.
So what version have I got.

Creating a filtering Rule in Outlook 2016 (but applies to a number of versions of Outlook)

Steps for using the Create Rule Wizard, Simple Options, based on an existing message in your inbox.

1.?????? Have focus on the inbox for the rule you’re about to create, then . . .

a.????? First gain focus on a message in your inbox that contains the “From:” address from which you wish to be snagging future incoming messages for processing.

b.????? Hit ALT+H,RR ,U.? [Home Ribbon, Rules, Create Rule]

c.?????? You are now in the Create Rule dialog for simple options, the first section of which is the selection criteria for messages to be snagged.? There will be three checkboxes:

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? i.????? From with the name or email address on the message you’d chosen.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ii.????? Subject contains, with an edit box prepopulated with the subject from that message.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? iii.????? Sent to, with your own name/address prepopulated

None of these checkboxes will be checked.? You need to check any one of them, which can be used in combination with each other, that you wish to use and fill in the edit boxes as appropriate.? For Groups.io emailing lists the most commonly used option is Subject contains and the edit box filled in with the group identifier for a given group, e.g., [office-accessibility], [nvda], etc.

d.????? The second section is for the action(s) you wish to take and is labeled, “Do the following.”? It contains three checkboxes plus additional controls for two of those checkboxes:

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? i.????? Display the New Item Alert window.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ii.????? Play a selected sound. This has an edit box showing the sound file that would be used if the checkbox is checked, a play button so you can preview it, a stop button so you can stop the preview, and a browse button to allow you to select a different sound file

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? iii.????? Move the item to the folder.? There is then an edit box that will initially read, “Select folder,” and the Select Folder button that brings up the dialog that allows you to do just that.? This is probably the most common action taken.

e.?????? After having done your selections noted above, you will hit the OK button.? You will get a message box that the rule has been created and named based on your selection criteria.? In this dialog box is a checkbox, Run this rule now on messages already in the current folder, and if you check this before hitting the OK button for this message box will cause exactly what it says to occur.? If you don’t, then leave it unchecked and only future incoming messages will be filtered.
