[stylist] Editing with JAWS

Tue Nov 9 00:35:36 UTC 2010

Brad, I just went to tools and options.  The things that were checked on the 
tool bar had nothing to do with what I'm looking for.  I hit spelling and 
grammer but all jaws told me was that the document I was working in had no 
spelling errors.  We'll have to keep searching.  Thanks, Judith

>>>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.
