Hello, I may have been unclear about what I meant about highlighting text. http://www.tech2u.com.au/training/tech2u/word97_2/highlight.html Has a good explanation of what I am trying to do. Highlighting text puts a colored bar over the text. It is a similar effect to using a highlighter marker on a book. Below is what I did with help to highlight text. Reviewing must be selected in the view/tool bar option for this option to be viewable by a sighted person. There is a picture of a marker pen, and then to the right of that there is an arrow. Click on the arrow to choose the color. Then when you click on the color it will highlight the selected text in that color. These descriptions are from a sighted person looking at the screen. Does anyone know how to do this with Jaws 5.0? I am using Word 2000. Thanks for any help. Bill At 10:58 AM 6/7/2004 -0400, you wrote: > Bill!
