Hello, Here are a few suggestions. This applies to Word 2013 and 2010 but the Word methods shown will vary somewhat with earlier versions of Word.
I switched to JAWS 14 and the same keystrokes seem to work. However, they seemed to work intermittently in both JAWS 14 and 15. In Word 2013 you can move forward through a document by revision by first turning on track changes by using CTRL with shift and E, and then using Alt followed by R followed by H. You can move backward through a document by revision by using Alt followed by R followed by F. JAWS doesn't always announce that the focus is on a revision but I have found that after moving to a revision using Word 2013's method that if I use right arrow away from it and left arrow back to it JAWS will announce that it is a revision. If this works you can then use CTRL with JAWS key and R to read the revision. If you use Alt followed by R followed by H to move to a revision the choices for accepting or rejecting the revision can be found in the contextual menu by using the application key. The Alt followed by R followed by H activates the Jump to Next Revision button under the review tab. The Alt followed by R followed by F is for the Jump to previous revision button of the review tab. If you are not using Word 2013 then check under the reviewing choices in the version of Word you are using to get the applicable keys to use. You can use Word's Advanced Find dialog to find highlighted text. In Word 2013 and I think in word 2010 you need to go under the home tab and navigate to the Find button by using CTRL with right arrow key a few times or just tab across the lower part of the ribbon under the Home tab. Press spacebar on the Find button and use down arrow key to the Advance Find option and press enter. This brings up the Find box as it was in earlier versions of Word. (If you are using Word 2003 just use CTRL+F). Use tab key and if there is a More button press spacebar. Tab to the Format button and press spacebar. Arrow down to the highlight option and press enter key. Tab to the Find Next button and press spacebar. Dismiss the Find box if necessary by using escape key. Focus should be on the first highlighted area in the document if you started at the top of the document. use CTRL with page down and CTRL with page up to move forward or backward through a document to find the highlighted text. With track changes turned on by using CTRL+Shift+E you can read the revision when you move to it using JAWS key with CTRL and R. If you can turn on track changes using CTRL with shift and E and then use Windows key with semicolon to get the list of things like comments and revisions then use the revisions choice at the bottom of the list. You can arrow down past the link and hear a bit about the revision. Press enter on the link to move to the point in the document where the revision is located. Again though, this method seems to work intermittently AS DOES THE KEYSTROKE FOR LISTING COMMENTS (ctrl+Shift+apostrophe). . When focused on a comment use the keystroke of Alt+Shift+apostrophe. Take care.
