[humanser] Question about Word for long forms

[Cheryl Wade]

Greetings,


My agency is using the latest version of MSWord, which uses Backstage 
View and a bunch of what I think is complicated stuff. I am trying to do 
a very simple thing: click on the file menu and save the document with a 
new name, thus creating a new copy of the blank document. So it's Alt-f 
for the file menu, a to "save as," and then there are tabs and tabs  of 
properties. I couldn't figure out how to save the file, and a co-worker 
told me to use the command y6. That got me sort of close to the point of 
saving the document, but I still relied -- this once -- on a sighted 
co-worker to find and click on the "save" button.

Forgive me for sounding stupid, but this is a small but difficult matter.


Also: I have a 22-page master treatment document in MSWord. There are 
several pages of interventions that I never use. I have to skip down to 
the "goals" section. I know how to use the insert-z command to shut off 
the virtual cursor so I can use the JAWS find to locate things in the 
text. But what happens if insert-z does not work? Do I simply memorize 
how many times to hit "page down" to get to the goals? Is there some way 
to mark the section so I can find it easily? And what happens when 
MSWord works so slowly that 10 seconds elapse between the time I press a 
key and the time JAWS speaks it?


Thanks.
