[nabs-l] Comments in ms word

[Humberto Avila]

Cindy, next, try using Alt+Shift+apostrophe instead. You should get a dialog
box with all the comments. If this does not work, then, it is either, (1)
your JAWS isn't behaving so well for you, try giving him a spank! * Smile *
or (2) this person used a version of word for the Mack, which probably word
for Mack uses a totally different scheme of how it does advanced methods of
word processing like comments, and which is very inaccessible. I haven't
used or heard of this version of word, so probably someone who does and can
tell us how office with the Mack works and enlighten us on its functionality
with screen readers like JAWS and even voiceover.

Yes, I am doing control-shift-apostrophe. It is so weird. JAWS says
there are no comments...Weird people using Microsoft for Mac. No
really, I wish it was accessible, but this is really interesting.
