Hello John, The highlighting should be recognized if you use the colors scheme. Use Alt+JAWS key+S to bring up the list of schemes. Press C until you find the colors scheme choice and press enter key. The highlight color should be found when using Say All and when using arrow keys to navigate and read.
You can also use Word 2010's find command to find every instance of the highlighting in the document. 1. Press CTRL+F to bring up the "find" dialog box. 2. Use tab key to the "search" split button and press enter key. 3. Tab to the advanced find button and press enter key. 4. Tab to the "more" button and press enter key. 5. Use two shift+tab keystrokes from the find page tab. JAWS will recognize both controls as "find and replace toolbar." Press enter key on the control that is two shift+tabs from the find page tab. 6. Press up arrow once from the "font" choice to the "highlight" choice and press enter key. 7. Press Alt+F to activate the "find next" button. 8. Press escape key to read the first result. 9. Use CTRL+page down to move down through the document to subsequent results or CTRL+page up command to move to previous results in the document. When focus moves to the results in the document, the highlighted result will be selected so you can use shift key with JAWS key and down arrow to read selected text, which should be the highlighted text. Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John W. Carty Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 9:33 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [JAWS-Users] question I'm using win7-64bit ult, jaws 12 64-bit and word 2010. I've got an assignment where I must read thru a word document and highlight specific words as if I was using a highlight pen. I can achieve this by going into the menu home, font, highlight, then select my desired color. Then as I read thru the document I can use ctrl-shift-right arrow to select the word or words to be highlighted then I can press ctrl-alt-h to highlight it. Using the tools listed above this works properly. This is my question. Once I get the proper words highlighted: How can I get jaws to identify the highlighted words as I read thru the document? I'm not referring to insert-5 which reads the highlight color once I've positioned the cursor. I need to have jaws identify the words during regularly reading.
