Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Fernando Gregoire]

It is nice JAWS to offer many so different built-in schemes and, in case
none of them suit our needs, the capability of configuring each aspect of a
scheme.
For dayly use, I'm right with the Classic scheme with only one (technically
six) modification: instead of hearing heading level numbers, I configured
the Classic scheme to play a different piano note depending on the specific
heading level, therefore navigating by headings or reading documents with
many titles is faster.
Since I rarely need JAWS to report each attribute or font change in a text
(usually INSERT+F for specific parts is enough), I'm not confident with
Proofreading-like schemes that indicate changes simply by reading the
affected with another voice or pitch. For these cases, I prefer built-in
variants of the Classic Scheme instead.

Regarding Word changing automatically superscripts, subscripts and many
other things, I find useful to have the Provide Feedback with Sound option
checked. On this topic, it plays a Liquid Paper sound when Word changes
something automatically, and a thighter one when you place your caret over
a text which was modified automatically, although in this case by default
JAWS say “Smart tag: Undo automatic actions,” which indicate you can press
ALT+SHIFT+F10 to open a context menu related to the correction made.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Rebecca Lineberger]

Yes, smile, but the brain, my brain, seems to remember "p" for proofreading, 
more easily than "c" for classic attributes and font info.  Whatever works!  
LOL.   
Actually now that I know Word is reliably printing super and sub scripts as 
instructed, I will probably take them for granted.
But if I were taking chemistry, I would definitely have that proofreading 
scheme on so that I would hear formulas as written.

Hi, Fernando. Your instructions are absolutely correct. The only difference is 
that the English version gives "1st" as the ordinal example. I had it checked 
already, and it seems to be working for me. 

My confusion arose because I couldn't get JAWS to confirm that superscript 
letters were, in fact, superscript. As Rebecca posted, the problem arises from 
VFO's decision to remove superscript and subscript from the classic speech and 
sounds scheme. Strangely, although I've restored them to my default speech and 
sounds scheme, JAWS is still not verbalizing either format when I move 
character by character. I have to press JAWS key-f, which works for me but not 
for Rebecca. Her solution is Windows key-alt-I, which at least takes you up to 
the point where the format changes. So does Text Analyzer, but on my system, TA 
just verbalizes a change in format without specifying what that format is. 

Astounding that JAWS users have to put so much thought and work into a detail 
like this.

Hi Adrian,

You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, 
so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said.
Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the 
AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program 
basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word.
To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options.
In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options.
In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the 
AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with 
Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name 
of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names. 
In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific symbols and, in 
practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”, “ra”, etc.

Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I 
moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word 
would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with 
Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a 
sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, 
sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an 
earlier version of Word.


Can anyone suggest how:

 1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
 2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word 
documents? I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might 
help, but nothing leapt out.


Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.


Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Adrian Spratt]

Hi, Fernando. Your instructions are absolutely correct. The only difference is 
that the English version gives "1st" as the ordinal example. I had it checked 
already, and it seems to be working for me. 

My confusion arose because I couldn't get JAWS to confirm that superscript 
letters were, in fact, superscript. As Rebecca posted, the problem arises from 
VFO's decision to remove superscript and subscript from the classic speech and 
sounds scheme. Strangely, although I've restored them to my default speech and 
sounds scheme, JAWS is still not verbalizing either format when I move 
character by character. I have to press JAWS key-f, which works for me but not 
for Rebecca. Her solution is Windows key-alt-I, which at least takes you up to 
the point where the format changes. So does Text Analyzer, but on my system, TA 
just verbalizes a change in format without specifying what that format is. 

Astounding that JAWS users have to put so much thought and work into a detail 
like this.

Hi Adrian,

You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, 
so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said.
Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the 
AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program 
basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word.
To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options.
In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options.
In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the 
AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with 
Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name 
of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names. 
In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific symbols and, in 
practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”, “ra”, etc.

Hope it helps!

Well done, Rebecca. The nice thing about this command, which is new to me, is 
that it moves from superscript to superscript, so you don't have to figure out 
the next instance on your own.

JAWS will behave like prior versions with Format and Text options switched off, 
except that subscripts and superscripts are suppressed.
So, if you want to know if the superscripts are there, you have to switch to 
one of the schemes that give you information about font..

Thanks, Rebecca. Meanwhile, I determined that JAWS key+f, the keystroke for
format information, will verbalize if a character is superscript. 
I just twice went through the entire process of adding superscript and
subscript to my default speech and sound scheme, both times with the
modified version saved and confirmed as my default, but nothing has changed.
I still need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each
character I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is.
Also, I'm still looking, but I can't find the control in Word for
automatically putting letters after ordinals in superscript.
Why did MS and VFO make each part of this difficult when it was so simple in
previous versions? Rhetorical question.

I just opened a word document in Office 365. I'm using Magic at 22X so I can
see what I write, sometimes. Anyway. I wrote 14th  and 2nd and I could see
that after I wrote each of these and pressed the space bar, the t h and the
n d were placed in superscript. However, Jaws doesn't indicate this.

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? 
I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might help, but 
nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

Aha!  The answer.
JAWS Speech and Sound Schemes
Word Classic
JAWS will behave like prior versions with Format and Text options switched
off, except that subscripts and superscripts are suppressed.
So, if you want to know if the superscripts are there, you have to switch to
one of the schemes that give you information about font..
Insert-alt-s.

I tried this, and JAWS 2018 does not tell me that the th in 4th, for example
is written in superscript.  
In Office 2010, under options, proofing, I can choose to have superscript
and subscript used or not.  I've played with settings, but again, JAWS 2018
does not tell me.  Perhaps there's a setting in JAWS that needs to be
enabled that I don't know about?  Smile.  
Or perhaps Word is ignoring instructions?  LOL.  I've not asked a sighted
person to check.

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I
moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word
would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with
Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a
sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript,
sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an
earlier version of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word
