Before I submitted my question to this group, I considered whether the
question was more in line with Jaws operations or Windows and Word
operations; because the keyboard commands work with or without Jaws to
resolve the functions, I didn't feel that there was a Jaws only question.
Let me explain further.
The following keyboard commands can be used by mouse or keyboard users.
As far as I know, the find and replace box can be brought up with CTRL+h
then one can use the tab to go over to various boxes within the find and
replace dialog. I am aware that I can press the f6 key to return to the main
document window of Microsoft Word and I assume I would positioned near the
applicable entries in the find box, my question was if I could do a
keystroke that would read the line to me without having to ever leave the
dialog box, of course, this question does particularly relate to Jaws, and
the keystrokes would be different for different screen readers.
Please rest assured that I won't try to submit questions to this group that
can only be answered by someone using an access technology.
However, I may from time to time, ask questions regarding keyboard commands
related to Word operations, and usually, the people that know most about
these keyboard commands are people who use them as a handicap from a GUI.
Okay enough for now, but I will be back with some technical Word questions.
I do belong to a Jaws list that is very good and I'm also going to join your
other Word list.
Thanks for the help.
