Need more information about the window, control, or option you are focused on? Use Context-Specific Help in JAWS.
Press INSERT+F1 in desktop layout or CAPS LOCK+F1 in laptop layout to open help for the current item. JAWS displays details in the Virtual Viewer, including what the item does and any related keystrokes.

The new Outlook and Outlook Classic have different layouts and navigation models, which can change how you interact with them using JAWS.
One helpful feature is switching between the Virtual PC Cursor and the standard PC Cursor:
• Toggle: INSERT+Z (or CAPS LOCK+Z)
• Check cursor: NUMPAD PLUS (or CAPS LOCK+SEMICOLON)
Use the Virtual PC Cursor to read emails or invites, navigate like a web page, and jump to elements with Quick Nav keys. It can make navigation faster and reduce tabbing.
