Hi Katherine. You may get the problem of paragraph movement solved by experimenting with the hotkeys and or cursor keys. These are in fact two broad approaches to the issue of navigation. Hotkeys are Window-eyes definable, and give you a great deal of flexibility. Hotkeys control window-eyes, not the application.
The other option is to experiment with cursor keys - where these by default control the application, and shape how Window-eyes behaves. As part of putting this answer out to you, I've just looked at cursor keys and I've discovered that I'm a bit hazy on them, but one of the potentially powerful things is that you can have cursor keys execute a hotkey. The manual does cover these behaviours in quite some depth, so hopefully I've helped you with this. Regarding the problem of selection: I think this has been solved in later versions of Word as I remember it being a problem in 2000, v2003 etc., but not in 2007 and 2010. Where you want to have large chunks of text selected, use the Word command - f8 followed by your various cursor movement keys. Best of luck.\ Vaughan. ________________________________ From: Katherine Moss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 4 November 2011 2:26 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: secondary or ex-JAWS users might know or remember this Hi all, I'm curious if turning on word navigation mode is the only way for users to get the same paragraph by paragraph experience in WE as they can in JAWS. You know how in JAWS, when navigating a Word document, one can use the control and down arrow at the same time to allow for the reading of the document paragraph by paragraph as oppose to line by line. Control Up arrow is the reversal of this. Is this possible in WE? And also, as oppose to JAWS, WE doesn't read that text is selected by telling you so. I only knew that I selected text a while ago because I have enough vision to see the highlight background. Thanks all. Katherine Moss, Administrator of the AccessCop Network, previously Raeder24.org.
