So here’s my challenge.  I am typing for a transcription client.  There are points in the text where a note needs to be normal text but the highlight is yellow, not necessarily the text color itself as yellow.  Does that make sense, and how do I go about doing this?  I’m using the latest version of JFW and Word 365.

If you select the words, then use the application key or shift+F10, then hit f for font, tab to Color which is automatic by default and arrow down to standard colors.  And right arrow to yellow and hit enter then tab to OK and hit enter.

The word below is the word yellow, in yellow.

That was what I did and my client said the following:  “Good job with the yellow, girl! One thing though, it’s not the text we make yellow. We just use the highlight tool to highlight the normal text yellow. Does that make sense?”

Based off that comment it sounds like there’s something else that needs to be done here.

Here is the way to do this with Jaws.

Select the text you want to highlight in yellow.

Then tap the following three keys speparately, alt, h, i.

The default highlight is Yellow so just hit enter.

Now, because it is a visual thing, Jaws will not report the highlight color, at least, I have not found a way to get Jaws to say squat about the highlight.

To remove the highlight, you simply repeat the steps above.  It is a toggle.

My sighted wife help me figure this out.

HTH,

Thank you very much.  I totally understand highlighting is a visual thing and am trying to do a web search on this point presently.  Thanks again!

If anyone knows how to do this, please share with the entire list as I would like to know how  to highlight as well.

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

After you highlight the text in yellow as described, go back to any letter in the text and press Jaws Key + 5 on the number row. This is the command to announce foreground and backgroun colours. Here is what I get if I do this:

black on yellow

Or you can use Jaws Key + F which is the command to announce the font and point size at the active cursor except it also give syo u even more information, here again what I get when I do this in Word:  

11 point
black on yellow
Calibri
Normal style
Line spacing: 1 lines.
Paragraph formatting: Aligned left
Outline level: body text

Here is the way to do this with Jaws.

Select the text you want to highlight in yellow.

Then tap the following three keys speparately, alt, h, i.

The default highlight is Yellow so just hit enter.

Now, because it is a visual thing, Jaws will not report the highlight color, at least, I have not found a way to get Jaws to say squat about the highlight.
