I
too, when using control shift g, get asked if I want to save the changes. I
didn’t know about this command.

When I think to use
the, Control, Shift + G , keystroke instead of the, Insert + Pagedown ,
keystroke and get that save dialogue I tab 1 time to the, don't save button, and
press the spacebar. This closes the document with no problems or changes
to the document.
Take care.

count in MS Word
Al,
I’m not Mike,
needless to say, but your post made me curious. I confirmed that with Word 2016,
I have the same experience using shift-control-g. that is, when performing no
other operation on a document, after using that command I need to save changes
in order to close the document.
My only thought is
that the same thing happens when the only operation I perform on a Word document
is to copy some text. I haven’t changed it at all, and yet here to,, I must save
changes in order to close the document.
In either case,
whatever change the program perceives has occurred, I think you can be confident
it isn’t one that affects the text or format in any way.
Hi
Mike,
Thank
you very much for those GREAT key strokes. For years I’ve been using the
insert and the down arrow keys and I like this new system.
I
just tried it on an existing Word document and it worked with lots of info, but
when I tried to exit my document, JAWS asked me if I wanted to save
changes. Other than opening the existing document and using Control, Shift
and the letter G, I did not change my original document. Are the Control,
Shift and the letter G adding something to my document? I experimented
with the same document and used Insert and the down arrow keys and JAWS did not
tell me if I wanted to save the document. It just exited my
document. Am I doing something wrong when I open up my document and using
your commands? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, by the way,
I am using JAWS 15, Windows 7 and Word 2010.
Al
Another keystroke
that will give a little more than the word count is Control, Shift +
G.
Take care. Mike. Sent from
my iBarstool.

Adrian,
Thanks for that clarification. Mike is certainly the
master at providing
detailed instructions at bending Microsoft Office to our
wills with JAWS.

Alan,
FYI, yes JAWS key+pagedown/3 still usually
works with Word 2016. However,
sometimes it fails, in which case Mike B's
instructions explain how to
return the status line to showing these items, or
not, as you choose.

Alison,
I'm running Word 2010 on a Windows 7
computer and I use JAWS key plus
PageDown key which reads the status line
which reports Page number, line
number, and word count. I don't know if this
works in newer versions of
Office but it works well on my system.

Until recently, pressing Jaws key 3 has told me the
number of words in my MS
Word document. It now tells me the number of
characters and which line I am
on but I am having to press function key 6 in
order to get a word count. Is
there a way I can amend
this?

I found a keystroke jaws+alt+s where I
can change the scheme to read the
colors -- I don't know why it did not work
when I tried to do it from the
settings center, but it seems to work fairly
well, only problem is that Jaws
goes silent sometimes for 15-20 seconds after
I hit jaws-to-pc hot key --
using Chrome.
Thanks for everyones
suggestion, I hope this works.
