[blindlaw] Track Changes

[Johnston]

Hello.

I too have been unable to be very productive with track changes.  Maybe it's 
a JAWS shortcoming or maybe I have more learning to do.  One thing I found 
online is instructions for creating a shortcut that enables jumping to the 
next change.  It is something I need to do soon because finding changes can 
sometimes require moving line by line or even character by character.
