I played around with this. Dave's instructions are pretty much perfect except the place where he left off is the place where Word requires you to click and drag around the text you want to circle. Selecting the text in advance doesn't seem to help. At least it didn't for me. Inserting a shape doesn't work any other way as far as I can tell. So I don't see how it could be done without sighted assistance. Could be wrong though.
What can be done is to draw a box around the selected text. Would this help or not?

No dice. I understand this might bring up a toolbar with some additional options like text drawing that are inaccessible, but I selected some text and performed the action you recommended with no results. Possibly I could post this question to another list? Thanks, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2014 10:14 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Circling an area of selected text in Word 2010 hello there; I really don't have a clue on how to do this, however, perhaps this suggestion would work? as I say, never have experience this. first select the text which you wish to use, now press, alt+n followed by s+h, now use the tab key and find oval grid, press enter, now, I don't know what would happen after this. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Annette Carr Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2014 8:29 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Circling an area of selected text in Word 2010 Hi Chris, At this point I am only proficient with JAWS 14 and earlier. These versions did not offer a means of circling your text in a word processed document. However, I'm wondering if you could highlight the text instead of circling it. I think there is an actual highlight feature in Word 2010, but I have never looked into using it. You could however, select the text you want to circle and change the background and foreground colors.

I realize I posted this yesterday, but I'm not sure if it went through. I need to know how to circle an area of selected text in a Word 2010 document using JAWS 15, latest build or if this is even possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best, Chris.
