John,

Fortunately, Glenn posted what seems like the definitive answer, a keystroke that's new to me. However, for the record, I was suggesting JAWS key+f, not +F2. I can see how JAWS caused the confusion, with the word "to" following "f" in my post.

hmmm, jaws +f2 just says custom hilight and you can set the foreground and background, but seems no way to read them.

One thought is to place focus on each of the options and, in each case, press JAWS key+f to compare fonts, etc. This may be all you need. Otherwise, it may tell you how the highlighted text differs from the non-highlighted.

Hi. OI am using Jaws 2020 latest update and I can't seem to read hilighted text on web page. What I am trying to read are options with y/n choices and one of them is hilighted. I tried to use a different sound scheme such as attributes and colors, but no joy.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
