FORMAT YOUR WORD DOCUMENT LIKE A PRO
Need to create professional-looking Word documents? Learn how to become a 
Word document master in the Format Your Word Document Like A Pro full-day 
course through eCarroll Remote Technology Instruction. Join David Kingsbury, 
Assistive Technology Instructor at the Carroll Center for the Blind, as he 
lays out the key steps for preparing professional-looking Word documents 
using the most popular PC-based screen reader programs: JAWS.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
JAWS has many powerful tools to help you to be more efficient and consistent 
in formatting and proofing your documents. Mastering these tools will allow 
you to produce more professional-looking documents than many of your sighted 
peers.

Among the topics we will cover are key parameters in the font and paragraph 
dialogue boxes; headings and styles; JAWS text analyzer; and JAWS speech and 
sounds schemes.

Prerequisites: basic knowledge of JAWS and Microsoft Word.

ABOUT ECARROLL REMOTE TECHNOLOGY INSTRUCTION
eCarroll Remote Technology Instruction brings technology training directly 
to blind and visually impaired individuals in the comfort of any location, 
whether it be in the home, workplace, or school setting. We use Zoom 
Meeting, an easy-to-use and accessible video and web conferencing software 
accessed by a link in an email, to offer individualized instruction in a 
wide range of areas. All remote trainees will need a computer with Windows 
10 and a built-in microphone, internet access, recent versions of JAWS (JAWS 
18 and newer) or NVDA and Microsoft 2016 or Office 365 for those topics. 
Users should have at least beginner-level JAWS skills. If you do not already 
have a Zoom account, instructors will help you create an account and install 
the program on your computer. During the ongoing pandemic, our technology 
training staff has gained significant experience in conducting remote 
training. One of our staff members, Heather Thomas, has even recently 
written a book on the topic, entitled “Getting Started with Zoom Meetings: A 
Guide for JAWS, NVDA, and iPhone VoiceOver Users.”
