Hi Bruce:
This may sound like a dumb question, but what would you replace the tabs
with?

You could always use tabs and then get rid of them with search and
replace.

Have you tried turning on autoformatting and using the 'numbered list'
from the format menu?

Hello All:
I have been working with someone that is training to be a Medical
Transcriptionist through a company called Trans Am. This company
provides on-line training. They do not want my client to format her
documents using the tab key. For example, there are places where
there are numbered lists in the document and the numbers have to
line up under each other, two inches from the left margin. You can
accomplish this nicely with tabs, but as I said, Trans Am doesn't
want my client doing it that way. I contacted my client's trainer
and she said that the reason they don't want tabs used is that it
makes it harder if the document editors, who I guess edit the
documents after they are transcribed, need to add additional items
to the document.
They want my client to be able to correct formatting problems using
the ruler. I don't know of a way to do this using JAWS. I tried
pressing insert-/ to lock down the left mouse key and moving the
text over and this did not work. The Trans Am trainer said
something about using the arrow keys to do this, but of course, when
you move across the line with right and left arrow it doesn't add
anything before the numbers. And, I tried using the space bar to
put extra spaces in to make things line up, no luck, I couldn't get
the numbers to be two inches from the left edge.
Anyone got any ideas on how my client canaccomplish formatting of
the documents without tabs using JAWS?
Thanks,
