[stylist] Editing with JAWS

Thu Nov 11 00:02:18 UTC 2010

Judith and all, I am also interested in the verbosity explanation. Is there 
a way to have jaws also tell you formating line by line before jaws reads 
the line?  I mean like bold, italics, color, indents, etc.  I know the 
command insert F for font but then you have to do that every time you want 
info.
