Hi, Dave.
I infer that you are wanting some method of keeping track of revisions. You are thinking of having the revised text a different color from the original text, right? Maybe this paragraph from the WE manual can obviate that need. Revisions Revisions, also called markup or " Track Changes," contain changes such as insertions, deletions, and formatting alterations that have been applied to an original document. Use the following commands to navigate among revisions: Revision Next: Alt-Right Bracket Revision Prior: Alt Left-Bracket To answer your questions, yes MS Word can be set to display different colored texts, and, yes, WE can be configured to announce those changes. I don't know what version of Word you are using, but I'm sure a user can change the font or color of revised text. In Word twenty oh three, those settings are in the Tools, Options, track changes property page. To get Window-Eyes to announce attribute changes, do this. Control backslash to open the WE control panel. Alt-E to put focus on the settings tree view. S until you land on the Screen node. Right arrow and down arrow to other. Tab to the attribute changes radio buttons and select the on button. Tab to Save settings and hit space bar. A bit of setup required there. Why don't you try those built-in hot keys suggested in the manual before going through the hassle?

Is it possible to create MS Word documents with different colors and then to identify different colors using WE? If so, how? Second, Is it possible to use the "Track Changes" feature in MS Word using WE? How? Thank you for your always reliable assistance and knowledge-sharing!
