[blindlaw] Track changes via JAWS

[Kelby Carlson]

I didn't know about that; that combination didn't show up in any 
of the materials on hotkeys that I have for JAWS and Word.

A surprising amount of this cannot be found directly through the 
JAWS help topics.

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has been marked for deletion, and what it has been replaced by.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
