Does anyone know how to get email attachments with Connect Outloud?

Wow, never thought of that. I assume it doesn't just let you open them, right?

You could do it the way we used to, go to file and down to "save attachment" and then open it in explorer. If I remember connect outloud will let you use explorer.

Hope this helps.

That works. However, this is the wrong board for such a question.

Nikos, connect outloud is a product produced by freedom scientific. It was supposed to be an affordable jaws.

It lets you use internet explorer, outlook express, notepad and the desktop, but not much else. I don't think it has been maintained in years, but it is cheaper than jaws.

The only reason I know anything about it is that one Friday afternoon my boss told me I'd be training someone on connect outloud the next monday morning. Guess what I did with my weekend.

I hated connect outloud.
