[humanser] Question about Word for long forms

[Bonnie Lucas]

Hello,

I regularly do the "save as," method of using a document many times and
keeping the original document blank. It is confusing if you do the Alt F for
file menu now and the same is true if you use the Control S method. However,
it was recommended to me to use F12 and it works like a charm. Try that and
if it doesn't work, email me at lucas.bonnie at gmail.com and perhaps we can
talk in more detail. Good luck. I am anything but a computer geek but I deal
with documents daily at work. 

Warmly,

Bonnie

Hello,
	I am not sure if this will work on the save question, but what about
button navigation? You can use the "B" key to navigate to the "save" button
and then press "enter".
	On the finding goals question, have you tried inserting headings at
the sections of the document? You could then use heading navigation to move
through the document to the sections that you want.
	I am not sure if this is any help, but this is what I have to offer.
Good luck!

Warmly,

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.


Cheryl Wade
