[nabs-l] JAWS reading font colour and style...

[Allison Hilliker]

Hi,

You can also press insert, alt, s. This lets you set a number of font reading options.

Hello Juel 

I know how to do this. All you have to do is press insert+6, number 6 on the
number row on your keyboard. Then search for "speech and Sounds Schemes." if
you are using JAWS 12 and later, you will land on an edit box where you can
just type the search query I specified above, but if you are using JAWS 11
and earlier, once you invoke the command insert+6, you will get a standard
app with a menu bar. In this case, you press alt+s to get to the set options
menu, then look for the speech and sounds scheme. Once you are in the speech
and sounds schemes, you need to down arrow, or spacebar (if you are using
JAWS 12 or 13), till you hear "attributes and colors" or "attributes, colors
and font info". Then press alt+A to apply your change and then press enter
to confirm the settings.

Hope this helps you!

Oh, I remember that trick. It's the automatic announcement of change
that I'm looking for. For example, if I write a little girl, and
little is bolded, JAWS will say a bold little normal girl. Does that
make sense? Or if an essay has a chunk in purple and a chunk in red
(which is only the beginning of what I have), then I want JAWS to say
blah blah red <this in red< normal <this in normal, boring black>. I
know it can be done, I just have forgotten how to do it!
