[nabs-l] Reading track changes in MS word with JAWS

Shift control e will turn on track changes without using quick keys.  You
can read through the document normally. You can then choose to accept the
changes or reject the changes using the application key.   Just figured to
give you one more way if you wanted to use it.
 You can combine elements of all three if you want.  
For example, after you finish using the quick key method, then you can turn
on track changes and just read it through. 
Use the application key to except or reject each change. 

Thanks, 
Justin

Kayla,
There are a few ways to handle this.
First, there is a setting in Word, which shows you what the final version
would look like without all the confusing changes, so that you can have a
smooth read through. If you to to review, there is a combo box called
"display as", and selecting display as final will show you what the document
looks like.
Second, if you activate your jaws quick keys, by doing insert+Z, you can
then navigate by comments, (m), revisions (r), and a number of other
elements. Do a search for Jaws quick key commands, and you can come up with
a full list. Good luck.
