[blindlaw] highlighting in westlaw

[Tim Elder]

The last time I tried using this it was not a convenient way to accomplish
the task.  Assuming nothing has changed in several years, you had to select
the text and then change cursors to navigate to the combo box option for
print selection without changing focus in the virtual viewer.  This may now
look different in Westlaw Next.  Frankly, it seems so much easier to copy
the selected text to the clipboard and then append the citation to the
clipboard immediately following the quote (Windows key + insert + c).  You
can then append the page number to the clipboard if needed.  

I'm curious if anyone is using Westlaw's MS Word toolbar.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to, using jaws,  highlight text from cases on westlaw
and print the pdf containing the highlight?

Thanks,

Laura
