[blindlaw] Lexis and Westlaw question

[Angie Matney]

Hi Jack,

Yes, I misread your email. Sorry.

I don't know what to tell you.

In my version, the highlighted terms appear on their own line. So you could arrow down until you hear a line that started with a highlighted term.

I've often thought that it would be great if a screen reader could move to the next occurrence of a particular font.

Angie
