Hi Anne, Thanks so much for the prompt reply.
I’m unfortunately still having a lot of trouble with using these track changes features, particularly with comments. 1. The only way I’ve found to move to the next or previous comment is by interacting with the “Change tracking and annotations” toolbar group. I can see how many comments are in a document and there are previous and next buttons. 2. When I hit the Next or previous button to jump to the next or previous comment, I hear VO play the sound that normally indicates that there is a popup somewhere. However, VO doesn’t read the popup and VOShiftJ has no effect. I am returned to the document and the word at which there is a comment seems to usually be selected. 3. Pressing VOJ jumps me between the formatter and the document, as it normally does. VOShiftJ just produces the beep sound indicating that I’ve pressed an invalid command. There appears to be no way to read the comment. 4. I seem to be able to make comments on my own. If I select a word, I can then stop interacting with the body and with the document layout area, interact with the change tracking and annotations toolbar group, and select the comment button. I can type in the comment into a popover and save it by using VORight to navigate and select an unlabeled button next to the comment edit field. 5. As soon as I close the popover, I can’t bet it back. If I put the cursor a little above the spot where I made my own comment then select the next comment button, the word at which I made the comment is selected, however VO never shows me the popover again. I hope this makes sense. Am I missing something here?

A Change tracking and annotations toolbar will appear. This contains the Previous and Next buttons and tells you how many changes have been made. In this toolbar, you can accept or reject changes and see who made each change. Cmd-Option-k takes you to the next change and highlights it. Normally, the VO cursor will land in the Change tracking and annotations popover, but if not, VO-Shift-j will take you there. The popover behaves like the toolbar. Cmd-Option-a accepts a change and Cmd-Option-r rejects it.
