[blindLaw] Turning off track changes

[Shannon Dillon]

Hi Rahul,

Are you saying that once you press control+shift+E to turn off track
changes, the screenreader continues to identify changes you make as
revisions? I think that is what you are saying but wanted to confirm.
I'm in JAWS 2020.2008.24 and do not have this problem. Once I turn off
track changes, my computer does not identify when I have made
revisions except for parts of the document where track changes was
turned on when I made revisions.

I'm in office 365 and Windows 10. So my version of office is different
from yours.

If you update does it help?

Shannon
