My simple way of doing it is to hit home on that first line and check how far it is from the left edge with alt delete. Then go to the next unindented line and hit home and alt delete to compare them. There is something about indents in the proofreading schemes, Jaws key, alt, S, and perhaps someone who knows what that's about will pipe up. ---- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW List" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 10:26 PM Subject: Checking for first line indent using Jaws When you're in a Word document, how can you check to see if the first lines of paragraphs are indented (Format/Paragraph/special/first line indent)? For instance, you can derive a lot of format-related info from pressing Insert F7. But not this. Is there a special Jaws command that will reveal this? I thought of opening that part of the format menu and tabbing down to that Special field, but I think it doesn't reflect what's there, but just shows the default settings. So I was thinking there must be a Jaws command that picks up this paragraph formatting info, true? Or no? Please note: I'm not asking *how* to set this formatting propertiy. I know how to do that. I'm talking about a document that's already created and that I wish to examine to see if this feature has been applied. thanks. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
