I've been editing for years. I think I'll stick to regular Microsoft Word without any embellishments. At least this way, when I mess up, I have to take all the credit myself. Thanks, Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chip Orange" <Corange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

You first have to enable it for the document being edited by going to the tools menu and selecting the "tracked changes" choice. this not only turns it on for this document, but it splits your screen into an upper and lower pane; the lower pane is the "reviewing" pane, showing all the changes in the document. usually those using a screen reader should turn off this pane, as it's too easy to have the screen reader start reading from it. to turn it off you have to use the tracked changes toolbar, find the "show" dropdown list, and turn off the reviewing pane which is checked on this menu. now you need to read about it so you can decide which document view you want to work in; you then use the same "show" menu from the tracked changes toolbar to set your view of the document (not the same thing at all as the Word document view). you'll need to do some reading from the jaws word help topic as well as a book on advanced word features to be able to use this; it's possible, just not easy unless you know what you're doing. perhaps an advanced word tutorial from some place like access technology institute would be very useful here, since the word books are not likely to cover any of the keyboard ways of doing things; and certainly not how to configure word to best use a screen reader. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.)-----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Judith Bron Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 2:20 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Track changes in word 2003 How do you access it?

My wife requires it to do some editing, so we are looking for any tips for using it. Thanks for any assistance.
