[blindLaw] Making documents need in Microsoft Word

[Lauren Bishop]

Hi Sarah, 
Below are some things I do that I find really helpful in formatting documents. 
If you are a jaws user, text analyzer will help you catch inconsistencies with spacing and font changes. To use this function, press windows Plus alt plus I. 
Another feature I find helpful is to press insert plus F or caps luck plus F on a laptop keyboard. If you hit this command once, it will tell you the font color and style. If you hit it a second time, you will get more detail.  When I am formatting, I will either ask for a word document of a symbol that my workplace has for the type of document I am working on and use the insert plus F command to have jaws read out the particular formatting attributes in the document. As soon as Joyce reads out the information I want to know the formatting of, I press insert plus F 

Also, when I don’t know how to format, I will simply Google, “how to format (insert item here) with the screen reader, “and the Microsoft support page will come up. 
I hope this helps
Sincerely,
Lauren

I find that when I write legal memoranda, motions, or other legal documents, there always seems to be a problem with spacing and a few minor grammar mistakes and font changes that I cannot catch. Thank you in advance, any advice would be appreciated
