Some good comments about color tracking, but Insert plus f returns the
font name, point size and a few other formatting notes like centered,
aligned left, etc.  Its insert plus the number row 5 which returns
foreground and background colors.  But that's OK, Remember, it's only
those who do nothing who don't make mistakes;  and Yardbird certainly
does a lot to contribute to this list.  So a tiny error now and then is
bound to occur.  Thanks to you, Yardbird, for all your polite and
courteous contributions.

Take care...
Dave

I think what David is referring to is a way of setting Jaws to announce 
colors as it reads.  I think there's a way to set that up (though I'd
hate 
to have such a thing running constantly, as I use Word all day).
However, 
in Word, I never heard of colors of text and background continually 
changing, by the way.  A few special Word editing or correction
functions 
use color to set themselves off, but actually I don't use such functions

anyway.  but you sound as if you do expect some color-coded things to be
in 
your Word documents?  Again, an ordinary Word document doesn't just keep

changing colors, word by word or line by line.cocuy

But if you just want to know the colors at specific points of a document
or 
Web page, the command to hear this spoken is Insert F.

If memory serves me correctly there should be a scheme in the speech and
sounds manager that will do that very thing.  I think it's the proof
reading scheme. David Ferrin I just got lost in thought.  It was
unfamiliar territory. personal email address dpf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi All,
How can I determine what color certain text is written in, and is there
a way to be notified if another color is encountered while reading?  I'm
talking specifically about documents that I open in MSWord, but at times
I also need to know the color of the text on web pages as well.

Thanks.
Troy
