[blindlaw] Multi Column Word Documents with a Screen Reader

[Farber, Randy]

Marc - I think you are better off using a table format either in Word or Excel, because you will want the information in the three columns to line up.  I don't think there is much difference between using tables in Word or Excel.  I would use whichever one you feel more comfortable with.

Subject: [blindlaw] Multi Column Word Documents with a Screen Reader

I am taking a class on Discovery and pre-trial preparation. We have a 100 page deposition transcript that we need to summarize. The instructor has asked us to prepare a multi-column document with the following information.

Column one: page and line number from the deposition transcript Column two: summary of the witness testimony Column three: my comments or interpretation

I am using Microsoft Word 2010 on a Windows machine with a screen reader. I have figured out how to open the dialogue box to create the document with multiple columns. However, I cannot figure out how to know which column I am currently typing in or how to move from column to column.


1.       Am I better off creating a table and inserting the text into different cells?

2.       Am I better off using Microsoft Excel?

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
