Outlook 2010 with SuperNova

These instructions are designed to guide you through the process of opening an attachment using Outlook 2010 in conjunction with SuperNova.

1.From the Inbox, locate the message which contains the attached file/s and then press ENTER to open it.

2.Press SHIFT and TABuntil focus is in the attachments list. Upon doing this, SuperNovawill say "Attachments, read only edit" followed by the name of the currently selected file.

Note 1: If more than one attachment is present, you can press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW to move between them. When navigating between multiple attachments, you might notice a semi colon. This punctuation character separates one file from another.

3.When you have selected the desired file, press the Applications Key (this key is to the left of the CTRL key on the right side of the keyboard). Upon doing this, a menu will be displayed consisting of options applicable to the attached file/s. The currently selected option will be Open.

Note 2: If your keyboard does not have an Applications Key, then you can press SHIFT and F10 instead to display the menu.

4.From the menu, select the Open option and press ENTER.Upon doing this, the 'Opening Mail Attachment' dialog box will be displayed. This dialog box contains options for opening and saving the attached file.

5.Press UP ARROW to select the Open button and press ENTER. Upon doing this, the file will be opened with its associated program. The file extension of the attachment will denote which program will be used. For example:

.doc = Word

.xls = Excel

.pdf = Adobe Reader

.mp3 = Media Player

.txt = Notepad

Once the associated program has been started, and the attached file has been displayed, SuperNovawill say the name of the program and the name of the file in use. You can now read the contents of the file using standard reading commands.

Note 3: If you wish to save the file, press ALT and F to display the File dropdown menu. Then, choose the Save As menu option. Upon doing this, the Save As dialog box will be displayed. Focus will be in the File name edit box and the name of the file will be present. Make a note of the file name and then press ENTER to save the file and close the Save As dialog box. The file will now be saved in your My Documents folder.

6.When you have finished with the attached file, press ALT and F4. Upon doing this, the program will be closed and you will be returned to the open message in Outlook 2010.

7.Finally, press ESCAPE to close the open message and return focus to the Inboxfolder.
