Cc: Michal Nowicki Subject: RE: Track changes in Word 2007/2013 There may be, but why do you want to do this? To me, it makes perfect sense that JAWS reads comments in a different voice, as it makes it easier to distinguish them from the body of the main text. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Russell Solowoniuk via Jfw Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2015 11:53 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Russell Solowoniuk Subject: Re: Track changes in Word 2007/2013 Hi again, I have one more question regarding track changes. When I arrow through my document, and come to a line that has a comment, the Jaws voice changes to Rocko when reading the comment. Is there a way to prevent the Jaws voice from changing when it reads a comment? Thanks, Russell On 5/14/15, Russell Solowoniuk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ed, > > Thanks so much!
