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

[Mary Fernandez]

Cindy,
As to your first question, after learning about Jaws quick keys in
Word, I've actually grown to love comments. Seriously!
Do Insert+Z, and if you press N it will take you to the next comments.
Shift +N does previous comment. You can navigate footnotes, )O)
revisions (r), and a few other features this way. Also, if you have
tracked changes on, I always view the documents in final, no mark ups,
view, so Jaws doesn't announce every deletion and insertion.
Hope that helps.
