EXPLANATION:

The calendar has a day, work week, week and month views. Using the virtual viewer, by pressing insert f1, will help you get familiar with those commands; plus there are other commands there. Some of these commands are also in the view menu. Control 2 opens the calendar. Work week or week views are recommended for adding appointments and this lesson is based on that (work week view is control alt 2). Up and down arrows are used to move to the different times in the day, left and right arrows are used to move to different days. Time slots are ½ hour periods. Press enter on a time slot and you will be able to write an appointment in. Once an appointment has been entered, you navigate to different appointments with the tab and shift tab keys. To add more detail to an appointment use the application key and choose new appointment and press enter. That opens an appointment window. You can tab through items in that window to add a subject, location, start and end times…. There are also reading keys with JAWS to read start time, end time, subject.... For example, alt 1 reads the start date, alt 2 reads the start time. Press alt s to save an appointment. If you have an appointment that will occur several times, you can create a recurring appointment by pressing the application key and arrow down to new recurring appointment. You can go to a specific date with control g.
