Yesterday was a very interesting morning. I had been studying about
Window-Eyes on the Friday before and so expected things to go on as
usual.
I booted up, and nothing in my email would read. I noticed when I
booted up and was about to log on, that it said something about size.
But I wondered if something was up with the screen.
I called a friend, and she laughed and said my screen was turned
sideways. I'd never heard of such a thing. She tried a few things, but
nothing happened.
We finally called the Office of Information and Technology (known as
OIT) and the man remotely logged on to my computer so he could take a
look. It's amazing to me how one person in one building can log on to
another computer across the complex without blinking.
Anyway, he tried different things, and couldn't find the "rotate" option
in the control panel. He tried several times and couldn't find it.
Finally, he updated my video card, I rebooted, and things looked sort of
ok. He found the option he was looking for, did some other things, and
I was back in business. My friend said she was glad, because her neck
hurt, trying to look sideways!
She mentioned about something up with Window-Eyes, and I said that was
my department, and, if necessary, I could call for support.
Went into the email (we use Microsoft Outlook here) and still couldn't
figure out what was up. Kept outlook on the screen, and went into WE
control panel. went into "General", thought I'd press V and see what
happened. Trumpet sound! I could read again! I have the keyboard
voice off as I can't stand letters/words being told me as I type.
Anyway, all turned out well, and I was happy.
Now, I have a small question. The We Manual has no detailed section
about email. I couldn't find it anyway. How does one find and open
attachments in outlook with Window-eyes? I'm going to email myself and
attach something, and see if what I'm thinking works. I'll let you
know. Meanwhile, maybe someone has an idea or two.
Thanks all! Sorry to be so long, but I thought it'd be an interesting
story to tell!
