Is there a keyboard shortcut (which I can then use by voice, by preceding it by: Press) for opening attachments to messages in Outlook Express 6?

John and Snoekie:

Thanks for the suggestions. I find now that saying: Press Tab seems to get an immediate response, although I need to say it about four times to bring the cursor down to the filename of the attachment.

I notice that John talked about my " macro". I often wondered what macros were, since so many experts on the various forums that I use talk about macros very freely, and I have never really understood what they were. I presume, from what John says, that they must be sequences of voice commands, which you either do yourself in a labourious ordered way, or else find a simple shortcut to achieve the same effect.

(I am always disturbed to see that DNS UK English insists on spelling labourious like this; in order to get it spelled correctly, according to my own education -- laborious -- I have to correct it.)

Anyway, I now realise that I have been using some kind of macro, without knowing it. I am just like Moliere's character, Monsieur Jourdain, who discovered, to his pleasure and surprise, that he had been speaking prose all his life.
