[stylist] Editing with JAWS

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Hey guys,

First, if you can use Braille and have access to either a refreshable
Braille device or Braille embosser, you can check all the same spelling,
grammar and structure issues as sighted people.  Just a quick plug for
Braille.  *smile*

If you solely use JAWS to edit, though, it is not always as difficult as
you might think.  It is an adjustment, but it can be done.  One big
helpful feature of JAWS is that you can turn on a feature that will read
all punctuation including commas and apostrophies.  Go to the JAWS
window and pull up the option menu, then go to basics, then tab until
you hear punctuation and select "all punctuation ."  The short cut is to
press insert and V which will bring up the verbocity dialogue box, then
it will list different options, press P until you hear punctuation,
press space bar to change the punctuation mode.  Do this until you hear
"all."

By the way, we will have a guest speaker for a monthly meeting (probably
after the New Year) who will talk about how to use JAWS for editing
purposes.

Anyway, hope this helps.
