A different way to review track changes

Tim Ford #43255 Hi All, The string of notes on this topic used only the insert shift r command, which is new to me. The way I pull up revisions is with the windows key plus the ;. This brings up 4 items, comments, footnotes, endnotes, and revisions. You hit enter on the one you want, and it either tells you how many revisions, then gives you a nifty vertical box with each revision numbered, who the author is, and what the revision was. The same is available for comments, footnotes and endnotes. If you hit enter, it takes you into that revision. Pressing escape a time or two takes you out of that window, and you just repeat the windows ; command to get back in. One other tip. For all versions of Word I have experienced, you can go in and out of track change mode with a toggle command, control-shift-e, presumably e for edits. Pressing that command takes you in and out of seeing the revisions. Turning track changes off gives you the clean version reflecting the revisions. You need to have track changes on in order for the windows ; command to work. The above seems to work fine with all versions of Word and JAWS. Hopefully this information is useful. Tim Ford

Cynthia Bruce #43257 Sadly, I tried this. When I hit enter on revisions, it told me there were none. I am working around it, not ideal, but at least I am getting through it. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Tim Ford Sent: October 26, 2016 10:15 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: A different way to review track changes Hi All, The string of notes on this topic used only the insert shift r command, which is new to me.

Marquette, Ed <ed.marquette@...> #43258 On particularly large and complex documents, windows + shift + r and windows + ; are not reliable. Often, one gets "no revisions." The most reliable way is to move through the cocument, if it is a big one, using the "next" function on the Review ribbon. Here, I am talking about "next," not "accept and next." Once you have identified the option on the ribbon, use right click to put it on the Quick Access Toolbar. Now, for me, alt + 1 takes me to reach change (whether an insertion, a deletion, or a comment." By the way, I'm not sure whether it is Jaws post-windows 10 or Jaws post Office 2010, but Jaws 16 and 17 don't work all that well with track changes. Relief has been promised in Jaws 18. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Tim Ford Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2016 8:15 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: A different way to review track changes Hi All, The string of notes on this topic used only the insert shift r command, which is new to me.

Kimber Gardner #43259 Hmm, I haven't investigated jaws 18 as yet, but if the track changes problem is really fixed it would make it worth the price of admission. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 10/26/16, Marquette, Ed <ed.marquette@...> wrote: On particularly large and complex documents, windows + shift + r and windows + ; are not reliable.

Marquette, Ed <ed.marquette@...> #43260 That's the word from Escalation at Freedom Scientific or whatever it is called now.

Cynthia Bruce #43262 No worries, I have managed to work through it, but I do appreciate the offer. Really everyone has had very helpful suggestions, and I will undoubtedly look into JAWS 18 as soon as my dissertation is finished. I'm not anxious to switch when I am in the midst of the final crunch.
