[Blindtlk] A Formatting Question

[Graves, Diane]

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for your pointers on the Jaws verbosity menu. I'm hoping
that it will eliminate most of my problems.

I probably don't know the Jaws program as completely as I should.  I'm
one of those who gets the basic information and am  inpatient to get
started.  I probably have a lot of potential with Jaws that I don't
realize I have.

Anyway, this verbosity menu  seems to cover where most of the problems
are coming in to play, especially when trying to incorporate others'
compiled work into my finished documents.

There were indents, and styles of text, such as bold text and so forth,
that I wasn't getting any feedback about.  The speech and Braille
display didn't reflect these differences at all, but when they printed
out the format wasn't uniform, and things weren't aligned as they should
be.

I'm hoping these new options will clear all that up.

Thanks Again,

As you probably know, you can increase or decrease JAWS's verbosity 
on a variety of elements.  When in a document, hit insert-v and 
review the list.  There are also a variety of adjustments available 
via their sound schemes settings, etc.  You may need an advanced JAWS 
user to help you -- and without knowing about the particular kinds of 
problems you are having, more specific advice is difficult.
