[blindlaw] Track changes via JAWS

Tue Mar 15 20:09:59 UTC 2016

Aser,

No, that's incorrect. Control + Shift + E is simply the command for toggling
track changes on and off, as already discussed. It does not toggle the view
in the way that Tim described.

I have previously seen reference to the feature that Tim described as well,
but have had trouble locating it within the ribbon. I just went poking
around in the ribbon again, and still didn't locate it. If one goes to Alt +
G + O, one comes to options for track changes, but I didn't see the option
to toggle between finished view and marked up view. Tim (or anybody), if you
can provide a more specific direction for this command, I for one would be
most appreciative.

Thanks,
Andrew
