I would like to add some email contacts I receive to Microsoft Outlook 360 address book?

What are the key strokes to make that happen?

I have tried to find adding to address book in the menus but cannot find how.

Hi Andrea,

Is there a link for this disability facility? Don't think I am able to call that type of number from Australia.

It's possible that the license may first need to be removed from the
first computer in order for it to be activated on the second one. I
have never tried to install 365 Personal on a second computer to see
what would happen but 365 Personal is only licensed for one Windows
computer at a time. 365 Home, however, shouldn't give you this
problem. It's possible that the retailer may have acquired this
license from the gray market and, if this is the case, this type of
problem can occur. However, that being said even a license bought
directly from Microsoft still has restrictions on how many devices can
be activated. A call to Microsoft should clear up the mystery but I'd
be interested to know if others on this list have alternative ideas.

This is with NVDA.? Jaws is pretty close to this.

While in outlook

Press control shift b to go to address book

Press alt f then e

Select the entry type – new contact

Tab to put this entry in contacts

Tab to OK and press space bar

Untitled contact ?full name

Tab and put info in fields you want

Keep tabbing to where it says email edit ?blank

Press alt s to save

Press escape to get out of that.

?

?

?

I would like to add some email contacts I receive to Microsoft Outlook 360 address book?

What are the key strokes to make that happen?

I have tried to find adding to address book in the menus but cannot find how.

Hello Chelsea,
Please please, never, never ever use tabs or spaces for formatting!
It's actually the first commandment of a person learning document
formatting.
That is because if you do that, different monitors and/or different
printers will definitely mess the things up.
fortunately, Word is an extremely powerful software and it offers us
everything what we need here.
If you need to make first line indented by half an inch, open the Home
ribbon, select Paragraph, and then Paragraph... again.
This dialog is what you need. Here you can see a combo box called
Special. Press Down Arrow in it until you hear "First Line", then
press Tab. In the "By" field enter 0.5 and make sure your measurement
units are set to inches (if not, please tell me, I'll guide you
through).
Next. If you want to align all of the document left (which is the
default setting, by the way), you may select all by pressing Ctrl+A,
then press Ctrl+L. This is a Word command, but if you use JAWS, you'll
hear "Aligned left". If you hear "Justified", press the keystroke once
more (the recent versions of Word seem to toggle alignment).
If Word crashes upon selecting the whole document, size might be
the problem, yes. Then you need to select it part by part and apply
your changes. By the way, if it's 1 inch from the left, then probably
you have custom indentation there and you need to go to this Paragraph
dialog again.
And lastly, the difference between left aligned documents and
justified ones is the following: When you align left, the first
letters of your lines are on the same vertical level. When you justify
however (in some languages, for example in Russian, it's called "Align
by width"), Word makes your text so that first letters are on the same
vertical level and last letters are on the same vertical level. That
can lead to larger spaces between words on shorter lines.
Hope that helps.

Hello,

When formatting an exercise for my potential job, I need to indent the
first line of a new paragraph to 0.5 inches. No problem, just press
Tab, right? Well, when I did that, the person reviewing my work said
the margins got all messed up. When I did an insert F, things sounded
normal, though.

Also, how do I get everything moved over to the left in a document?
When I do an Insert F on another document I'm working on, it says left
indent of 1 inches. It's only part of the file, but I want to select
the whole thing to make it universal. I tried, but MS Word crashes.
It's a big file. Could that be a problem?

And what's the difference between justified and left anyhow?

Thanks,
Chelsea

Hello again Chelsea,
I might be wrong but it seems, there's no usable way to compare two
Word documents if you're blind.
What you can do however (and it's a more correct way to proceed, I
should say) is to ask your editor or whatever person changing your
document to turn on track changes. That can be done either on the
Review ribbon, in the Tracking submenu, or just by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+E.
Thus, when he or she sends you the document back, you will hear
different revisions in the document. That works great with JAWS, but I
heard NVDA also does work.

Hello,

Another crucial part of my job involves running compares on documents.
I have my completed work, and I receive another document with

Here's a note I've save, hope it helps.

From: Adrian Spratt
I use the paragraph dialog for this purpose. “Paragraph” is one of those misleading MS terms because this dialog can be used for an entire document or
for selected passages. Here’s how it works.

?

?
It sounds like you want all paragraphs in your document to be indented automatically by half an inch. So??

?

Control-a for select all.??

?

Applications key, or shift-F10.?

?

P for paragraph, even though you’re formatting the entire document.?

?

Tab five times to a list you access via the up and down arrows. Right now, it is likely set at 0.0. Up arrow five times until you hear “0.5.”?

?

Press enter.?

?

That will ?work for the current document. If you want to make this format your default for all future Word 2010 documents, keep open or reopen the paragraph
dialog and tab until you get to the default checkbox. Here, I wouldn’t end by pressing enter, but keep going until you reach the Okay button.?

?

In this same dialog, you’ll find spacing, margins and many other essential format features.?

?

Another nice feature of this dialog is that you can change the format for specific paragraphs or passages within a document. For example, if you have a
quotation you wish to set off separately from the rest of the text, highlight that passage, press the applications key, then p, then go through the options.
In this case, I bring the paragraph indentation down to 0.0, indent both the left and right margins by 0.5, and select single spacing. I then tab to Okay.

?

Adrian??

Take care.? Mike.? Sent from my iBarstool.? Go dodgers!
