[nabs-l] Customizing Feedback JAWS Gives About MS Word Track Changes and Other Group Paper Writing Advice

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Cindy. I'm not sure if this is quite what you want, but if you
temporarily turn off track changes with control-shift-E, you can
listen to the document the way it would look if you had all changes
accepted--so without any deleted text in it. You can then turn track
changes back on when you're ready to edit.
Best, Arielle
