Ok - firstly thanks to everyone who has tried to help with this, on and off list. I hadn't realised about the 0 being needed as shown in the message below, so that was helpful. What is still annoying me though is the fact that it STILL isn't working!! I can only conclude that it must be a setting somewhere - I got the results I wanted on a different machine earlier today - the only differences being that the other machine was W98 and Outlook, whereas this is XP and Outlook Express. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated - otherwise I'll shut up about it - but it would be really helpful to be able to do this - and it should be sooo simple. Have also tried changing Jaws keyboard layouts but to no avail!!
