Hi All,


At work, we use Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 from about 2017. My question 
is about how to read information posted to Calendar.


Our work assignments/locations change weekly though they can change more 
often. For example, I may be working Departments 1 and 2 this week, 
except on Wednesday, when I'm assigned to Departments 10 and 11.


My sighted colleagues tell me assignments are posted to the Outlook 
Calendar. They open outlook, click the Calendar icon, and see where 
everyone is working. I tried. I opened Outlook, pressed enter on the 
Calendar button, and haplessly arrowed around a month-view grid. I found 
a note/reminder about a staff meeting, but though the screen reader said 
this note was "2 of 2," I never found the day's schedule or my 
assignment, which was presumably "1 of 2." I was also not able to move 
around the grid consistently, so I'm not understanding how that works 
very well either.


Those of you who use the Outlook Calendar feature, how do you do it? I 
was using Narrator, but I can also run NVDA from a thumb drive.


Thanks for any wisdom.


Ciao
