[nabs-l] Comments in ms word

[Humberto Avila]

Hello Cindy,

JAWS should be able to read / announce the comments as you are moving
through the document. When you reach a comment in the spot or selection that
she put the comment, JAWS will say, "Has comment," and say the text. Then,
you must navigate with control+right and control+left arrow word by word to
find the comment. Then, when you reach the text that she put the comment on,
JAWS should say something like: "Comment Reference colon Bla Bla Bla. By
username." 
In addition, you can press Alt+Shift+apostrophe to get the "Reviewer's
comments dialog" where you can see her comments in a listbox.
Hope this helps you. Please let me know if you have further questions. You
may reply directly to me if you wish: avila.bert.humberto2 at gmail.com.

Have a nice day!
Humberto

Subject: [nabs-l] Comments in ms word

Someone told me that they put comments on a ms word document on the
margin of the document. I looked on the review tab and noticed that I
was unable to view or move through comments which led me to believe
that there were no comments in the document. Am I doing something
wrong? I'm sure that JAWS help has directions for reading comments,
but I don't think I'm searching with the right terms. Or, could there
be a different type of comment? She is using Microsoft for Mac, but I
assume that imbedded comments are the only way to comment in a
document besides writing them within the document. Thoughts? I am
using ms word 2010 and JAWS 13. Thanks.
