Hello fellow Window-eyes users,
Does anybody know how to select a portion of text within a word 2007
document, and delete (just that particular portion of text alone),
without disturbing any other part of the document? In word 2003, with a
document opened, I tried selecting text, by holding down the control
and shift keys, while pressing right arrow, then pressing the delete
key. Doing it this way, worked. But when I tried to do this same thing
at school, while I was in a dialogue like looking box, that allows you
to type in information to create a cover page, using word 2007, it
wouldn't work. Word 2007 wouldn't let me select and delete text in the
manner to which I've described above. For those of you who have word
2007, to get to the dialogue box I'm refering to, do the following:
1. With a blank word 2007 document opened, press alt to bring up the
file menu, (sorry, I mean ribbon), I'm not familliar with the jargon
this version uses, and press right arrow until you hear insert.
2. Arrow down, until you hear Window-eyes say something to the effect
of "Pages and cover page ETC, ETC," it says a lot of stuff and I can't
remember it all right now, but anyway, you press enter on this, and
then you'll be placed into a list box sort of menu, that has such
things as alphabet, conservitive, ETC, there are fifteen different
choices. I select conservitive.
3. Next, the dialogue like looking box I mentioned above, will come up.
When I hit tab once, Window-eyes says, "r1c1 company name." If you
press tab again, you'll hear "R1c2 document title" tab a third time,
and you'll hear "document sub title" Hope your getting the idea. As you
tab through this, typing in whatever you want, you'll eventually come
to a field, that asks you to type in the abstract of the document, and
it goes on to explain what an abstract is. If an abstract is anything
like what I think it is, its sort of like the thesis of the document,
where you explain about what your report will be discussing. For the
cover page I'm going to be typing for class, this (abstract) is not
needed, but I know that if an abstract was required, this is where I'd
type it. So, now, here's where things get tricky. I have to get rid of
the little paragraph, that talks about what an abstract is. My
professor did it, simply by clicking on something with the physical
mouse. I've heard that we can use the mouse with Window-eyes, but I'm
more (keyboard) oriented. I'd feel more comfortable if I could do this
from the keyboard. Any assistance would be appreciated. By the way,
somebody mentioned to me something about an audio tutorial regarding
the word 2007 ribbon, I think it was KathyAnn. I got the tutorial, but
with school and everything else going on, I just haven't had a chance
to really sit down and listen to it yet.
