[nabs-l] navigating word and setting up layout

[Humberto Avila]

Hello ashley,

When you are in a word document, in word 2010, and if you are using JAWS,
then all you have to do is press insert+Z. this enables or disables the
quick keys on and off. Quick keys is like the virtual PC cursor on JAWS when
you are on the internet with Internet Explorer  or firefox. The commands in
the word quick keys are very similar to the ones used in the virtual cursor,
however there are a few keys that are relevant to microsoft word.
For example, you can move with: H for heading, M for spelling errors, G for
gramatical errors, O for comments, T for tables, B for bookmarks, F for
formfields, and even p for paragraphs. When you press a key that is not
associated with a word option, JAWS will report, "Not available in Microsoft
word." you can also press Insert+f7 to access a list of links in the
docment. Just like on the internet. It is very cool.

Hope this helps you.

Hi all,

So I was wondering what features whether they be jaws ones or Word ones,
that you use in searching/reading documents.

What features do you use other than place markers and the find command? One
technique I use is inserting a symbol I can hear as I arrow down by
paragraph. Usually a ** symbol.

Also can you make a Word file look like a web page? Can you have headings
and hyperlinks in there? I think that would help in navigation.
If you have multiple tables, how do you get to tables 2, 3 etc? So far I
just arrow down or page down to them.
Perhaps there is a better way.
I know on the internet you can press T.

Speaking of website features in Word, if you have a form, how do you
navigate it? Is it accessible? Do you just tab to the fields? That would be
my guess.


Thanks.
Ashley
