I've been using Vista Speech Recognition for a couple of days. Navigating most applications is easy, but Outlook 2007 seems impenetrable. NONE of the menu items respond to &quot;say what I see&quot; and when I &quot;show numbers&quot; I get nothing but the outer window controls and the three search boxes -- and when I select one of them, I can't dictate anything into them. (&quot;Enable dictation everywhere&quot; is enabled.) I can't figure out how to switch folders, start a new message, or even access the File menu. What am I missing?

How do I navigate Outlook 2007 with Vista Speech Recognition?

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
