Hello Helga, There is a very handy JAWS method to more easily accomplish the task of reading comments imbedded in a Word document.
When in the document, press/hold the Windows key, and press the ; key. That brings up a nice and clean JAWS box in which you can arrow to and press enter on any of the four options, comments, footnotes, endnotes, or revisions. Pressing enter on comments will give you what you want, a nice clean box in which the author of the note is shown, and the full text of the comment is displayed, and you can easily read the text with the usual arrow reading commands. (You can copy and paste any of that material, which is what I would do to put together a document back to the commenter, as opposed to trying to enter your own comments directly into the base Word document.) For each comment, there is a link you can press, and that takes you to that part of the document. The above works the same for the four categories, comments, footnotes, endnotes, revisions. The above works for me, and I cannot imagine an easier system for use with JAWS. Good luck.

How are you? I just wantd to tell you that it works. I did not have a chance to reply o back. NOw I just hve a question, can I spell out the sentence of the comments in order to read them word by word, character by character and so n? I'm just wondering since my Professor wrote me comments for my assignment and I want to write down the sentence that she wrote me since she want me to write it, so is there a way to spell out the comment after I do control shift apostrophe? JAWS read me but all of it, I just want to read word by word and so on. I look forward in hearing from you soon. Thanks and God bless!
