Good morning Jaws users list. Using word 2016 to open PDF documents. Many of you probably already know you can open PDF documents with word 2016. However I do not usually use PDF documents. But I found a bible training site called, bibletraining.org, for more advanced bible lessons. These lectures are many hours long and come with PDS documents with many pages of notes. To use word 2016 to open PDF documents, do the following.
1. Highlight the PDF document. 2. Press the applications key. 3. Down arrow to open with sub menu, right arrow, press enter on word 2016. 4. You will hear, word can open this in an editable readable document, press enter on the OK button. 5. In about 5 to 30 seconds depending on the size of the PDF document, word will open the PDF document in a protected view word document. 6. What I did for the large 200 to 300 page files. 7. I pressed control+a, to select all, followed by control+escape to refresh Jaws. 8. I then pressed control+c, to copy all the text, followed by control+escape to refresh the page. 9. Then I opened a note pad document, pressed control+v to paste all the content of the PDF document into note pad, of course you lose the formatting. 10. But this method worked very well for me, I just wanted the text of the PDF document. If any of you are interested in this bible training site that works fantastic with Jaws, read below. You need to first set up an account with the site. Go to: Bibletraining.org Many of these college level bible courses. Contain audio lectures from about 10 hours to about 26 hours.
