Hi everyone,
I'm a law student and often have to cite court documents with both page
and line numbers. The depositions I used for my last assignment were Word
documents with line numbers running down the left of the page, presumably
outside the margins. The PC cursor doesn't read them, so the only way I
could find to cite the documents properly was to get to the correct passage
with the PC cursor and then read the line numbers with the JAWS cursor. Is
there any way to have the PC cursor read that kind of thing along with the
text so I don't have to switch back and forth? Is there a view or toolbar in
Word that might do the trick? I use Word 2007, but the documents in question
were typed in Word 2003, if that's relevant. Thanks for any feedback you can
provide.
