Greetings all

Embarking upon this law school Journey has revealed to me that I have to
relearn how to do some very basic things as a person with low vision.
Specifically, effectively and quickly editing documents.
Usually, I magnify my screen to edit documents. However, this is beginning
to take up more time then I feel is necessary.
I use Microsoft ease of access software. Currently, that is working for me
and I don't feel the need to upgrade my software.
However, I have a question. Does anyone have suggestions as to the best
method of navigating, editing, and using Microsoft track changes when
drafting documents?
The trouble I seem to have is if I share my document with someone, they
make track change suggestions, yet the narrator we'll miss those
suggestions.
Also, is there another program or software that individuals who are blind
or with low vision use to draft and edit documents?

Last, are there any suggestions about formatting documents as an individual
with low vision?
I have issues with my depth perception. This means that my document could
be formatted incorrectly. Sometimes I can't tell because the screen is so
magnified.
My goal is to create precise and effective Publications without the
assistance of a sighted individual. Moreover, I desire to demonstrate that
I am not limited by my sight impairment. I am certain that with some
training I will produce a product that reflects my intellect without
demonstrating my in abilities.
Thank you in advance for your response with warmest regards
