[nabs-l] Using Comments in MS Word 2010 and JAWS 15

Hi all,

I have a project where I must use a plethora of comments to code text
in a word document. The most efficient way for me to do this is by
inserting comments. I know that I can select text and insert a
comment. However, how can I view a list of comments? Does the selected
text appear beside the comment in the list that I pull up? Is there
anything else helpful to know about comments? In my experience, they
seem annoying and I much prefer parenthetical inline text. However, I
have to use so many codes for this data that it would cut up the flow
of the document significantly, and it is easier for my teammates to
use comments. So I'll take any suggestions.

My other question is about searching for information regarding using
JAWS with an application. For some reason, I seem to have a difficult
time using the proper search terms to get what I want. I can solve 99%
of my problems by Googling the answer. For some reason, I can try
multiple phrases having to do with JAWS 15 and whatever application I
need assistance with such as ms word 2010 and comments, and I have a
very hard time finding info on the web. If anyone has good,
comprehensive web pages, that would be great. I'm sure Freedom
Scientific has helpful web pages, and that I can of course look at a
JAWS manual. I have just found that clicking through a ton of pages is
not efficient, and I would love to bookmark a few good resources.

Thanks.
