Hi All,

I have a word document in which text has been highlighted using
various colors to denote different types of edits.

How to I tell Jaws 12 to identify the different colors of text as I
read through the document?

Thanks in advance,
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,
You probably want to turn on a proofreading scheme that will let you
identify colors while you're in say-all. As I recall, there a couple of
those. One lets you hear attributes and color; the other will simply
identify color changes as they occur.

1. Press alt+insert+s to bring up the scheme selection dialog.
2. Make a mental note of which scheme is currently active; it's probably
"classic". This is important in case you want to come back to it later.
3. Arrow up or down to the scheme that sounds right for you, then press
enter.
4. Go to the top of your document and do a say-all. You should hear JAWS
identify colors and/or attributes as they change.
5. When you're through, go back into the schemes selections and restore the
original scheme so that you don't hear that extra info every time you get
into Word.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Tom,

I should have waited for your post. Never remembered about the Insert+Alt+S.
And if it works in Say All, then that's even better.

Kimberly:
Searching for color changes is possible in word. Not sure which version of
Word you are in, but if you get deep into the find dialog box, you will find
the option. As I recall, you need to search by specific color. So, you
will look for all the yellow and then all the red and so on. That's not all
that satisfying.
Be sure the changes are not in track changes. They will appear in different
colors too, and sighted folks may not know the difference.
You can jump to changes in track changes multiple ways.
With JAWS, press Insert plus z to turn on those quick keys or whatever they
are called. Then, simply press r to jump to the next revision.
In the reviewing task bar, you can tab to "next," but that's lots of tabbing
and quite slow
Finally, you can do what I did. Inside Word options and keyboard, you can
create your own shortcut keys. In my case, I set Shift plus alt plus r to
jump to the "next" revision.
Finally, if the document has track changes, you will want to turn them on
with insert plus v.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much Tom and Dave. That works great.

Now, is there a way to jump from one piece of colored text to the
next? I don't see a navigation quick key for it, but I'm wondering if
it would be possible to perhaps do it with a macro or a script?

Thanks,
Kimberly

Kimberly:
Too bad the revisions were not made with track changes. Here is how to
search for color. Then, I'll describe how to create a Word hotkey.

To search for a color:
1. Press control plus f
2. tab over until you hear "more" and press space bar
3. tab over until you hear format
4. Arrow down until you hear font and then press ENTER to open the dialog
box
5. tab over until you find yourself in the familiar color choice box. Pick
your color and tab to OKK
6. Once this is set, you can jump quickly using the repeat find command,
shift plus F4
Remember to clear this out before doing other searches. If you later want
to find "Mississippi," it won't find it unless it is also in the identified
color. So, that's why clearing out the color is so important when you are
finished.

Now, to create a Word hot key. I know this is available in Word 2007 and
Word 2010, but I don't know how to get in to the right place since I've only
tinkered with Word 2010 on my wife's computer. Once you get in, however, I
understand the process is identical.
1. From tools, go to "Customize" -- one menu choice up from "options"
2. Press control tab until you hear "commands"
3. Tab once. You will be in a list of command categories, e.g., File,
Edit, and so on. If you aren't sure exactly where the command is, arrow
down to "all," I recommend this. Don't worry, the list won't be all that
long and besides, you don't pick your command yet. You still have to pick
keyboard (See below).
4. Here is the tricky part, this step seems a little redundant because you
still have to tab over to keyboard. Do that and press ENTER.
5. Now, you have the same list of command categories. Again, if you are
unsure, you can arrow down and pick ALL. I always do that.
6. Tab over for a list of commands. For example, try "next revision or
comment." To get there quickly, hit "N" until you hear that command
8. tab across until you get to the place where you can enter the new key.
In my case, for "Next revision or Window," I pressed alt plus shift plus r.
9. You can go back and change or create other commands. Some are defined
by Microsoft already. For instance alt plus F7 is next misspelling.
10. When finished, tab across to "close"
11. You will have to tab to close a second time, and you are done.
I use automatic cross-references, and inserting a cross-reference is a pain
using menus. For me alt plus shift plus X inserts the cross-reference with
one keystroke.
This sounds more complicated than it is.
Good luck!

Hi Ed,

I'm probably going to have to use the find in word to search for
colors as the document is rather large, but at least it sounds doable.

What are the steps for defining a hot key under keyboard? I've never done
that.

Thanks for all the help.
