[NFBCS] Using the find and replace dialog in Word to change text formatting

[Curtis Chong]

Nancy:

I have some thoughts, but I think this would be better served through a real
live conversation. Formatting is indeed a complex subject depending on how
one chooses to do it. One feature which speeds this up is using the JAWS
place marker feature so one does not have to hold down the shift key to
select larger chunks of text. Believe me, that feature alone saves a
tremendous amount of time.

I bought a book from the National Braille Press called Format Your Word
Documents with JAWS and NVDA. It was a very good investment from my
perspective. Another thing I teach is to know where you are on the printed
page by using the JAWS Alt+DELETE command.

I hope this provides some useful information.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hello:

 

I am teaching students to apply formatting to text within their documents.
They catch on to finding the desired text manually or using the find command
to select it then perform the keystrokes to aply the formatting but I am
hoping to find a more efficient way.  I think as blind people sometimes we
get too used to over-using navigation by small text units.  Ideas welcome.
