Leslie, I'm still using Office 2003 at work, and I'm doing it through a VPN
connection to an XP machine located on the other side of the pond.  I am
able to use the Insert-A key command, and I find that the attachments are
listed left to right instead of one below the other.  That means I have to
use the right and left arrow buttons to get at them.  

If that doesn't work have you tried the Shift-Tab key from the body of the
message?  I don't like this method as it often takes me through all the
links found within the message before getting me to the list of attachments.


Conversely, if you use the JAWS command for getting the focus to the Subject
Line, Alt-5 you will then be able to Tab once to access the list of
attachments.  

Thx, Albert

Subject: [VICUG-L] Outlook 2003 help

I'm hoping my problem can easily be fixed here.

My workplace still uses Office 2003 (don't laugh at me). I have changed
locations, and things seem to be set up differently computer-wise.

At my old location, I had no problem opening attachments. I used the
traditional method of pressing the applications key on the message and
hitting h for "view attachments". I've also pressed insert-a while in the
body of the message. I personally don't like using this method, but it's
certainly doable and gets the job done.

Right now I cannot use the "view attachments" with the applications key,
which I really miss. I'm able to bring up a list of attachments with
insert-a. However, they seem to be presented in such a way that I am not
able to highlight the one I need to open. I was blaming others for the way
they sent attachments, but I don't think that is the problem. I sent myself
several attachments, and I can't use the applications key to open them
either. There must be some setting or checkbox that I don't know about to
fix this problem. Hopefully someone who still uses Office 2003 can help.
Thanks.
