[gui-talk] stupid JAWS tricks

[albert griffith]

The key here is not to set Word as your editor.  You only have to set it
once too.  I don't mind making settings changes when you only have to change
them once.  However, I don't think you have a choice in Outlook 2007.

Clear Day
If a user sets Outlook to use Word as the editor, and they use Smart
Tags, often times a title is set to stupid phrases as :"draft v", "clear
day", or other strangeness.

when the email is opened in Outlook, for some reason, JAWS reads that
stuff at the start of the email, for example the first line of this
email.

My point is, why does JAWS read that, and for God's sake why must
Outlook include such information?
What would I do with it?
What would an email client do wit it?

I expect if I screw around with JAWS verbosity configuration settings I
can make this stop, but my opinion of setting custom settings for
regular daily work is not a high one.

Anyway, if any of the rest of you wondered what the heck some of those
stupid phrases were in the start of your emails, and where they were
coming from, that's it, now we know--not much good though, is it?

Sigh, glad that mystery is solved.
Back on my head.
