[Blindtlk] question on navigating electronic docs

[Edward Green]

Hi Anne,

I'm not sure about Word Perfect, but if you're using JAWS, you can navigate Word documents in the way you describe.

Pressing JAWS key+z will turn on quick keys, and you can use the same first letter navigation as you do on the web.  For this to work, the formatting features need to be present in the particular document you're navigating. By way of example, if you want to navigate by heading, there need to be headings in the document in the first place.

If you are using JAWS, then I'd try the command to turn on quick key navigation to see if it works.

PDF's should behave like web pages by default anyway.

Cheers,

Ed
