Hi Melanie.

 

Thanks for this. Yes I used that function but as you say, my lists are very
long now. So, I'll need to come up with something else.

 

Thanks again.

 

Damien.

Hi Damien,

 

You probably know this already and I admit it doesn't present a very good
solution to your problem, but what I have found helpful when I was studying
Spanish was to work with STRG+F. This search function allows you to open an
edit field in which you can type, for example, the next word in your list.
Let's say your word begins with the letter C, followed by E, then you could
jump with this function of JAWS to the words with c and e and insert it
there. Does that make sense? However, if your list is so long that you are
not sure which could be the closest word to the one you want to insert, then
this is not a good idea. 

 

What you could do as well--but only if you have the words written down in a
table with the Irish ones and the English ones separated--is to write them
all down as they come and to get them into an alphabetical order later. 

 

Hope it helps.

 

Melanie

Hi everyone.

 

Maybe this is off topic and if so, please accept my appologies. I'm studying
Irish language and am creating my own irish to English and English to irish
dictionaries using ms word 2007. They are now getting quite large and it's
taking a lot of time to find the correct place to insert the words and their
meanings. Does anyone know of a way in word whereby I could simply type the
word and it's meaning say into a box and word would then insert it into the
correct place in the document. Maybe word itself doesn't have this kind of
facility, in which case, does anyone know of an accessible programme that
does. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about actual pronunciation of words
or the dictionary mannager in jaws. I'm simply trying to find a quick way of
inserting text into a document in alphabetical order without having to arrow
through a lot of pages to get to where I need to be. Any help on this would
be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Damien.
