As a matter of curiosity are you doing a word document or a text
document?

machine either. Thanks, Judith

I apologize if my instructions were not as complete as they could have
been.
My instructions to have JAWS read bolded text were based on JAWS 6.0 in
MSWord. I use Word 2003 at work and Word 2000 at home.
To access the JAWS Scheme dialog box is to press “alt + insert + S”. The
dialog box opens in a list with “classic” as the default. I instructed
that one should select “classic (attributes).
JAWS will acknowledge the bolded text as bold and the italics text as
italics. Attributes includes italics, underline, and bold. To know where
these changes start and end, JAWS will speak the attribute first and
then the text. Because the default in Word is “normal” when the
attribute goes back to the original, that is without being italics,
underline, or bold, JAWS will read “Normal”.
I left out how to change the settings back to the default in the case
you did not like this option after all. If you find this more confusing
than worth having bold read to you; you can go back into the scheme
dialog box and select “classic”, which is the JAWS default.
Other classic choices where even more information is spoken are:
Classic (attributes, font info., & color)
Classic with quotes
Now, with my settings on “attributes”, my JAWS is also reading
“strikethrough”. My “font” dialog box does not indicate the
strikethrough checkbox as being checked.
If this is not clear, or what you get is not what you expected, please
consult your help for JAWS.
Tip: Before changing a setting, check as to the default or at least what
it is prior to making the change so you can go back and set it back.
Again, I hope this helps.
Debbie

Hi,
I followed these instructions and found myself
really messed up.
I am sure it must have been my fault and the kind folksat tech support
couldnot help meo ut.
If you find your key operations nonresponsive, immediately close down
JAWS
6.1 and restart it.
Everything fixes then.
I am sure the mistake was mine andd this is why I say if in trouble,
close
JAWS before you mess up further settings.
