[blindlaw] Track changes via JAWS

Yes, if you hold down the windows key while you press the semicolon key, it
brings up a list of all comments, footnotes, endnotes, and revisions,
separated into those respective categories. A rather handy feature.

The Windows key moves to the start menu.  Do you use it in 
conjunction with something else?

I have similar issues with using track changes.

Hello,



I know this topic comes up from time to time, but I'm wondering 
if anyone
can provide any guidance on effective use of the redlining 
feature with
track changes turned on in a MS Word document, in combination 
with JAWS? I
find that I have a rudimentary command of the track changes 
feature, and
that I have no problems navigating among and reading comments 
posted in
balloons within the text.  What I have trouble with is reviewing 
redline
revisions, where people mark specific blocks of text for deletion 
or
replacement.  Even though I'm able to navigate from revision to 
revision
within the text, I often find it disorienting to locate what 
particular text
has been marked for deletion, and what it has been replaced by.  
Am I missing
something fundamental, or does anyone else struggle with this as 
well?



Just to avoid rehash, or perhaps because it may be instructive to 
some on
the list, here are the commands that I know and which constitute 
my
repertoire as far as track changes for now:



Control Shift E - Toggles track changes on and off

Quick keys (JAWS key plus Z) - M to move to the next comment, R 
to move to
the next revision

Windows key; - Provides lists of all comments, footnotes, 
endnotes and
revisions

Alt R A - Accept revision

Alt R J - Reject revision





Beyond this, if anyone has any guidance to help me master and 
make more
effective use of redlining, or can point me to any articles or 
online
resources that are helpful, I'd be most grateful.



Thanks,

Andrew
