When I have a Word document with links in it whether that be email addresses or web addresses is there any way to have them open when I enter on them? Right now when I try and do this the only thing that happens is that a blank line gets placed in the document. If there isn't then that's fine I'm simply curious that's all. Using latest versions of Jaws, Office 365 and Windows 10. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated as always!! Thanks Madison

My strategy is to activate the context menu on the link with shift+f10 and then arrow down to open link. Then, I press Enter. This works every time.

I seem to be having trouble sending to groups.io from this address this morning, so I had to send this twice. That's because, usually, when you open a Word document, you are in edit mode. This means that, when you press ENTER, SPACE, or other keys, you are inserting something into the document. Try pressing JAWS key plus Z first, to turn on navigation keys, and take you out of edit mode.
