Steve,
Thanks for the lesson about the extended term choices of the Word search
function. I wasn't aware of that list of alternatives for searching. May I
add one suggestion? When you arrive at the highlighted text, you may be
able to confirm it by pressing Insert num row 5 to hear Jaws describe the
colors you're on.

Heidi,
I don't know if you can get JAWS to do this, but you can get Word to do
it. I've got JAWS 6.2 and Word 2000 and 2003, but I'm fairly sure the
following will work for your setup too.
From the top of the document, press Control + F to open the Find
dialogue. Tab to the More button and press it to add more controls to
the dialogue. Then Tab to the Format button menu and press it to open a
menu. DownArrow to Highlight and press it. You've now set Word to search
for the next highlighted text. Tab to and press the Find Next button to
select the next instance of highlighted text. Press Escape to close the
Find dialogue and you should find that JAWS reads the selected text.
Press LeftArrow to deselect the found text and leave the cursor on the
first letter.
You can now use Control + PageDown and Control + PageUp to move between
the areas of highlighted text until you close Word or change the
settings of the Find dialogue.
Steve

Subject: How Do I Jump to & Read Highlighted Colored Text in Word?
Hello JFW List,
The author of a very long Word document highlighted her changes in
yellow.
I know that insert-f will tell the font and character attributes, but I
don't want to read through the entire document line by line just to find
the highlighted parts.
Is there any way for JAWS to jump to and read the text she highlighted
in yellow?
Thank you.
Heidi
Using JAWS 6.1 and Word 2002
