Hello Ed,
I have never had any luck with colours and Jaws; particularly using control
shift S for styles, selecting a colour, and checking the result with insert
F, only to hear a completely different colour.
Good Luck.
Cheers Kevin.

Subject: Colors with JAWS 16 using Track Changes in Word 2010
We use track changes in our practice, and it is sometimes important to
distinguish colors in track changes. The standard defaults, in MS Word
2010, are RED and strikethrough for deleted text and Blue and double
underlining for added text. For psychological reasons, clients don’t like
to send documents with lots of red. So, I have changed my track change
colors, as per the “review” ribbon. Unfortunately, I have learned that,
despite the colors set on my computer, the recipient’s computer will change
them, particularly if “track changes” are shown “by author.”
That caused me to explore. I sent a document from my Windows 7 (JAWS 15)
computer to my Windows 8.1 JAWS 16) computer.
Deletions on the Windows 7 (JAWS 15) computer indicated the proper colors
for deletes and additions.
On my Windows 8.1 (JAWS 16) computer, the colors were either “Black on
White” or “black on black.”
I got the same read-out from JAWS, whether I used JAWS Key plus 5 or JAWS
Key plus f to check the colors.
Is JAWS 16 simply defective when it comes to detecting track change colors?
