Hello Jerry, The quickest way to adjust whether or not indentation is indicated is to use the quick settings.
Use JAWS key V. Type in the word "indent" (without quotes) and use down arrow key to the result. Use spacebar to toggle between ignored and indicated. Tab to OK an use spacebar. If you prefer you can also use the classic scheme. Hold down JAWS key with Alt key and press S. Press C until you find the Classic scheme. There are five classic schemes and the last one listed should work for you unless you want to hear other information as well such as font information, attributes, and/or colors. Press enter key on Classic. I think that using one of the two methods shown above will work fine for you. You can make some adjustments to the way indentation is indicated in the Settings Center if you want but you might not find this necessary. To do this: Use JAWS key 6 to go into the settings center. If you want the changes to only apply to Word then the Word settings are already displayed. To set default so that changes are used in other programs unless specified differently use CTRL+Shift+D. Tab to the list of settings, which JAWS identifies as "Tree view." Press "S" until you find the Speech and Sound schemes and open the level by using right arrow key if necessary. Arrow down to "Modify schemes" and use spacebar. Focus should be in a combo box with the scheme you are modifying selected. Tab to the "edit selected scheme" button and use spacebar. Press CTRL with tab until you get to the indentation page tab of this dialog box. You can choose a justification from the list that appears or leave default. The dialog box has radio buttons so you can choose between JAWS speaking the information or playing a sound. You can also pick a voice alias, type in other text. Use OK when done with any changes. Use OK when done. Save your changes. A new Word modified scheme will appear in the schemes list launched by using JAWS key with Alt and S. Take care.

Can you tell me if there is a way for me, using JAWS, to let me know if a paragraph is indented? I am asking because in the possibility I get asked to transcribe a book, where there are no blank lines between paragraphs, but each new paragraph is indented. Many thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Lee Sent: Tuesday, May 2, 2017 2:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Another Formatting Inquiry Quick correction: CTRL+Alt+1 is for heading 1, CTRL+Alt+2 is for heading 2, CTRL+Alt+3 for heading 3. When in outline view you can use Alt+Shift and 1 through 9 for the nine levels of headings. Take care.

You can then tab or shift+tab between the controls. CTRL+D Same as CTRL+Shift+F. CTRL+Shift+P Brings up the Font dialog box with focus in the point size CTRL+Shift+edit combo box. CTRL+B for Bold. CTRL+I for italics. CTRL+U for underlining. CTRL+Shift+D for double underlining. CTRL+equals for subscript. CTRL+Shift+Equals for superscript. CTRL+Right Bracket Increase active font by (grow font) one point. CTRL+Left Bracket Decrease active font (shrink font) by one point. Note: These are the two bracket keys to the right of the letter P. Highlight text CTRL+Alt+H. Hide or show text CTRL+Shift+H. Change font case Shift with F3. (Use this keystroke repeatedly to go between no capital letters, all caps and first letter of words capitalized). Font color Alt followed by H followed by F followed by C. No shortcut key for strike through. You can quite easily create one if you often use it. CTRL+spacebar will remove most formatting. It does not remove text highlighting. There are several keystrokes for working with styles but the more commonly used include CTRL+Shift+N for normal style, CTRL+Alt+1 through 9 for headings levels 1 through 9. If you are interested in getting a document with a complete list of Word 2013 commands including those with and without key assignments you can do that in Word. The document is quite large. You can use the Find feature in Word to find a specific command and whether or not it has an assigned keystroke. You can also choose to get a table of commands with current keys assigned instead of all commands. Here are the steps: Use Alt+F8 to bring up the macros dialog box. Tab to the "Macros in" combo box and use down arrow to "Word Commands." Tab to the Macro name box and press L. Use down arrow key several times to "List." If you can type quickly enough you can type the word List and move right to it. Use down arrow to find it. Tab to the Run button and press spacebar. In the group of resulting radio buttons use down arrow to all commands. If you prefer you can select the "current keyboard settings" radio button and the resulting table will just show commands with key assignments. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. Take care.

I have another question regarding formatting in Word 2013. What are the keyboard commands for changing the font style in a Word document (curse you Bill Gates, and your ribbons!). I am using Windows 10, a Dell laptop, and JAWS 17. Many thanks in advance.
