Garry, window eyes has a feature for Word where it will speak additional formatting information as you move around. it's called the "format alert", and it's in the manual, in the section on working with Word, one of the chapters at the end whose name is something like "additional commands".
the particular keystroke to turn it on is control-alt-shift F. if you then saved your set file it would stay on for you by default. thanks for reminding me not everyone knows what format alert is; I'll add it to the script help.

I would truly appreciate it if you could answer that for me. So far I like the script and it works really well in word 2007. If I think of anything that needs to be added in the script I will let you know. -----Original Message----- From: Chip Orange [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 4:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Word Script if you have the format alert enabled in Word, as you arrow through the document it alerts you to changes in advanced paragraph formatting such as line spacing, keep with next and keep together settings, etc., and the outline level. this way you can go through the document quickly, without having to go into the paragraph format dialog to check these settings for each paragraph. Secondarily, it enables the display of comments if the document contains comments. these were both requested on the GW info list; so let me know if you have other feature requests.
