[blindlaw] Track Changes

[Dan Beitz]

First, in case you didn't know, control shift E is a word toggle to turn on and off track changes.  Then, it is easier if you hit the jaws key, insert z, to turn quick keys on.  Then, you can hit the r key to jump from revision to revision.  You can't type in information with Quick keys on, it is like using internet explorer.  So you have to hit insert Z again to toggle quick keys off.  Insert Z is a toggle.

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.
