Claire,
In addition to the other methods of accessing a link in MS Word that have
already been mentioned, you can bring up a list of links in Word just as you
do in your favorite web browser with JAWS Key+F7. Then press Enter on a
link to activate it, or press Spacebar on the Move To Link Button in the
dialog
to move to the part of the document where the link is located.

Subject: Accessing links through MS Word 2010
Dear All,
I'm using JAWS V 11 and MS Office 2010.
I was wondering if there is a way for JAWS to allow me to access links
in a Word document? It's like the links have been embedded in the
document. As I scan down blocks of text in a page, (using the arrow
keys), JAWS alerts me that certain phrases have links attached by
announcing "Link." Is there a way for me to click on each link and
have the internet page open up in IE? I think that if I could look at
the screen, I would place the mouse over the words that have a link
attached and the URL for the page would appear and allow me to click
on it. Needless to say, this does not help me here.
Would anyone know of a way that JAWS works to bring up the link I want?
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
All the best,
Claire.
