1) Spell Checking in MS Word
Using Window-Eyes &
JAWS
2) Changing the Default Folder for Saving Files-Word
2007
3) Adding/using the Quick Access Toolbar
Both Window-Eyes and Jaws for Windows have
streamlined the manner in which documents are spell checked in Microsoft Word.
The ability to use the spelling and error features of your screen reader are
dependent upon the spelling and grammar error settings of Word. To insure these
are configured properly, follow these steps:
* Open the Office Button (ALT-F)
* Activate the Word Options button (I)
* DOWN ARROW to “Proofing”
* Press TAB once to access the options on the right side of the display
* Navigate through the options and insure the following two checkboxes are
checked:
* Check spelling as you type
* Mark Grammar errors as you type
* Activate the OK button with SPACEBAR to save the changes
Rather than using the spell checking dialog of Word, the screen readers offer a
fool-proof manner in which to check the document.
Jaws for Windows
The Navigation Quick Keys of Jaws for Windows allow quick navigation among
elements of a Word document. While they are useful throughout Word, I will
address their use to spell check a document.
Toggle the Jaws Navigation Quick Keys with INSERT-Z. Once the Quick Keys are
enabled, press M and SHIFT-M to navigate among spelling errors in a Word
document.
Focus will be placed on the next or previous spelling error. You can repair the
error yourself or allow The Microsoft Word application menu to assist you in
repairing the error.
To use the application menu, press the WINDOWS APPLICATION KEY (the key to the
left of the right CTRL). A list of suggested replacements will be displayed.
Navigate the list with UP AND DOWN ARROW. Press ENTER on a selection to replace
the misspelled word with the replacement.
After spell checking the document, disable the Navigation Quick Keys with
INSERT-Z.
Window-Eyes
The Page Navigation dialog of Window-Eyes provides spell checking within
Window-Eyes. Open the Page Navigation dialog with INSERT-TAB.
Press SHIFT-TAB once to access the list of radio buttons. Select “spell
checking” and press SPACEBAR to activate the option.
The list view a the top of the dialog will display the misspelled words within
the document. Press ENTER on a word to place focus on the misspelling.
You can repair the error yourself or allow The Microsoft Word application menu
to assist you in repairing the error.
To use the application menu, press the WINDOWS APPLICATION KEY (the key to the
left of your right CTRL key). A list of suggested replacements will be
displayed. Navigate the list with UP AND DOWN ARROW. Press ENTER on a selection
to replace the misspelled word with the replacement.
Open the Page Navigation Dialog again to display the remaining spelling errors.
Repeat these steps until all errors are repaired.
You can also navigate among spelling errors with Window-Eyes keyboard commands.
* Move to the next spelling error ALT-APOSTROPHE
* Move to the previous spelling error ALT-SEMICOLON
Changing the Default Folder for Saving Files
in Word 2007
1. Press alt plus the letter f.
2. Press the letter i.
3. Arrow down to "advanced."
4. Press shift plus tab eight times to land on "file locations button." You
could tab but it takes a very long time to reach the same button.
5. Press the spacebar.
6. Tab once to "modify" and press the spacebar.
7. Press alt plus i for "look in."
8. Locate the drive or folder where you wish to save files.
9. Tab to okay and press enter.
10. Check to see if your choice stuck by shift tabbing to the "file location
button" and you should hear, "file locations dialog and the name of your chosen
location.
If you are using ZoomText, you can see
that the file locations box now has your chosen drive location.
Adding Items To The Quick Access
Bar
The access bar allows you to press a
number to make an action take place. For example: Pressing alt followed by the
letter one opens up the "save as dialog" box.
Pressing alt followed by two accesses
the "undo" option.
Pressing alt followed by three
accesses the "redo" option.
Here is how you can add something to
the quick access bar.
1. Press alt plus f.
2. Tab to the "office button" and press the spacebar.
3. Arrow down to "customize."
4. Tab once to the "quick action toolbar customization options."
5. Arrow down to "commands not in the ribbon."
6. Tab once and press the first letter of the command you wish to add.
7. Tab to "add" and press the spacebar.
8. Tab to okay and press the spacebar.
9. Tab to close and press enter.
Now if you press alt followed by the number four and you used the command of
"open", this dialog box will open.
