[NFBCS] Microsoft Office Programs Copy/Paste Formatting Differently If You Are Using JAWS

[Curtis Chong]

Hello Nicole:

 

In my experience (at least in MS/Word), the best way to take control of this
is to use CTRL+ALT+V to invoke the Paste Special function. Then, you can
choose how to paste from the menu which pops up.

 

Kind regards,

 

Curtis Chong

            Several of the Microsoft Office programs allow you to specify
what you done with formatting when pasting depending on the
source/destination. I just discovered that JAWS seems to confuse whatever
Microsoft uses to determine the source. If you want Microsoft to correctly
determine the source of the text being pasted and how to handle formatting,
you have to use the pass through command (JAWS key 3) when selecting and
copying.
