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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David & Patricia Ferrin" <dpf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 5:59 AM Subject: Re: determining colors of text with JFW If memory serves me correctly there should be a scheme in the speech and sounds manager that will do that very thing.

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.
