开云体育

Hi All,
?
A friend is having the problem below and asks the following.? He's running Windows 10, J2020 latest and Outlook 2016.
?
?I have a JAWS + Outlook question for you. Do you have any information on how I can make JAWS and Outlook interact more smoothly? Each time I arrow up or down in the inbox, I have to press the JAWS key + the up arrow in order to get it to read the first line of the message before I decide whether I want to open it or not. Is there a way to get it to read just by arrowing up or down? Thanks for your help with this.??
?
I don't use Outllook 2016 and can't help him.? If anyone knows how to fix this, would you please give him a hand?? It would be greatly appreciated.? Thanks much.

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

I have 2 suggestions for your friend:

1. ?Make sure the Reading Pane is turned off. ?This can be done in the Ribbon by selecting the View tab, then tabbing to the Reading Pane button, and selecting Off, or by using the keyboard-sequence, ALT > V > PN > O.

2. ?Turn off MessagePreviews. ?this can be done in the Ribbon by selecting the View tab, and then tabbing to the Message Preview button, and selecting Off, or by using the keyboard sequence, ALT > V > TL > O.

HTH.
