Good morning everyone, topic title says it all. I'm trying to send an attachment with windows 8, and It is stumping me... I'm running jaws 15. Any help would really be appreciated, as I'm trying to get school work done.
Thanks so much,
Chris

I’ll assume you already know how to start and address a message.
To add an attachment to a message you’ve started press Alt +I.
This opens up the item picker or selection place.
Mine opens up to the camera roll, or where I have my pictures stored.
Note, where you leave it when you finish, is where it will be the next time.
If I want to choose something else I tab down twice until I get to the item picker button.
Mine says pictures, but if I press the spacebar I can select from different areas on my computer.
If I arrow up and down, first is my Sky drive this PC, Home group, network, and sound recorder.
If you goof, press tab again until you get back to the item picker.
I’ll choose This PC. If I enter on that it opens up where I find the items under it.
I’ll choose my documents.
To open these you must use the spacebar, not enter. I don’t know why, but on my computer the enter key won’t open the folder.
Now I find all my documents.
I arrow to the one I want and select it by pressing the spacebar.
Once I have it, I tab until I find attach.
If the document I want is inside a folder, I have to use the spacebar to open that folder.
Now I have what I want attached, so I press alt + S and send my email.
The next method.
If this is the only mail client on your PC, find the document you wish to email.
Press the alt key or shift F10 to open the menu, and arrow to send to.
Right arrow and arrow down or up to choose mail recipient.
Now you can address the email and type your message and send it as you normally would.
I hope this helps.
