I can think of a way to locate the end of color text. First, search for the
desired color, and in each instance placed a text marker, such as double
asterisk or number sign, each time a passage begins. When that process is
complete, return to the first instance of color text. Now change the color
to black, or however the regular text appears and search for the instances
where it resumes, indicating also that color text ends. Place another text
marker at those points. Obviously, if more than one color is used, as
happens when several lawyers are involved in negotiating or otherwise
drafting a document, other markers would be used for other colors.
This process would take a little time at the beginning, but save time in the
long run. The risk might be upsetting the original format with the new
symbols. In WordPerfect, which I use, that would be easy to fix thanks to
reveal codes. I can't speak for MS word, which I try to avoid.

Dave:
You are right. If one is just looking to "find" the underlined text and not
necessarily read the text with the underlined text distinguished from the
non-underlined text (same is true for colors), the reading scheme won't help
at all. The problem with just searching for the text, as Ann suggests, is
that it just gets you to the beginning of the text with that color or
attribute. I usually like to know when the underlining or color change
stops too.
I too use the MS Word format search strategy, and I thought you and Ann did
a great job of explaining. The Scheme just makes it easy precisely to
identify what is and what is not in the target color or attribute once you
get there.
Perhaps you and/or Ann know this. If the color or underlining feature is
applied through a style instead of just through direct formatting, will it
still work?
Presumably it would since, in any event, the text is in the desired
font/attribute. Still, Word can be a little funny about things like that.
For instance, if the color or attribute is applied through "track changes,"
one usually cannot search for double-underline or strikethrough text, even
though that is the way added or deleted text actually appears.

Ed,
Good tips, but won't help in a search for text with those attributes. Also I
think that in "say all" mode attributes are not spoken, unless there is a
speech scheme to do this?
It get rather arduous to arrow line-by-line or word-by-word to hear the
various attribute changes in a large document.

The same tip I gave to identify text in colors will work for underlined
text. Just press Alt plus JAWS key plus S. Pick a scheme that reads
attributes. JAWS will "switch" to that scheme. Turn it off by going back
to your preferred scheme which, for me, is classic.

Another option is to switch the voice scheme.
JAWS key plus Alt Plus S will announce colors as you read. Well, actually,
it will give you a list of reading scheme voices, at least one of which will
announce colors.
That will allow you to read the entire text and have jaws pick and announce
the colors as the cursor moves over the text.
The color changes will be announced as you read line-by-line.
Be sure you pick a scheme from the list that announces the colors. I think
"Classic with Colors" is one of the choices.

Hi All,
I am using JAWS 12, word 2010, and Windows 7 64 bit system. How can I find
different colored text in my word document? For example, someone sent me a
document and some of the names on the document are in blue. How can I find
the blue text using JAWS? Thanks in advance!
