[blindLaw] Downloading cases from WestLaw in word?

Wed Aug 21 17:41:36 UTC 2019

Browser does matter to an extent. For the best experience, Westlaw recommends using IE or Chrome with JAWS. I understand that there is a population that uses Voice Over on an iPad, but please know that Westlaw's internal development team conducts most of its accessibility testing on an IE-JAWS configuration.

I haven’t done this in Chrome or  ie, and I don’t know if the browser affects the way it works, but accounts usually default to email, look for an email button, and there is a delivery preference menu right underneath it where you can change that.
