Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc hiJust want to thank you all for your tips on visual styles, as it's really useful to me too.for turning virtual ribbons on, go to help>jaws startup wizard, hit next a few times until you find it. It's actually a checkbox which you need to check. Then hit next until it brings the finish button, and it's done.

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc
Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc @TJT1234, thank you very much indeed for your very helpful post.I was told to justify the text, especially in formal letters and writing assignments. Styles are indeed extremely helpful. They can be applied on titles, quotes, lists and so on. However, in many cases, word is able to apply the proper style, as in list paragraph style.I have one question: how do I activate the JAWS virtual ribbons? Can they be found among the different cursors of JAWS, or do I need to change any setting?Cheers!

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc
Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc Ambro, I don't regularly use footnotes, so this is just a guess, but try pressing Enter on one of the footnotes that JAWS displays. If that doesn't work, when you are in Microsoft Word--and assuming you are using JAWS 16 or later--press Insert+J, then type the word "footnote" and have a look at the keystrokes that JAWS suggests.Griff, the JAWS Virtual Ribbon Menus make the menus like they would be if they weren't a ribbon, i.e. the ribbon groups are presented as menu items with the options beneath them as submenus. This helps as items in the ribbon are not linear--some items are small and can have one item on top of another whilst others are not, yet others are unusual shapes. The JAWS Virtual Ribbon Menus simplify all of this.Basically, in the top row of a table where the headings are, sometimes people like them with shading (but keep in mind that there should be good contrast), and for the titles to be centred. But that is not really a big issue, don't worry too much about that sort of thing--I never do.I have never experienced the lag you describe. I am using Word 2010 now and have used the web layout view since Word 2003 and also in Word 2007 with no problem.

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc
Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc I have always been told that it is unacceptable for me to write documents that are not visually attractive. This was always drilled into me at school, so over the years, I have collected a vast amount of knowledge about visual formatting, style and appearance.Firstly, I would like to clarify some things. Afrim, actually to end numbering, when you are done with your numbering, instead of pressing Backspace, press Enter a couple of times. The reason for this is that when you press Backspace, your text is still slightly indented as it would be if you were using list styles. And to Ambro, I personally use the JAWS Virtual Ribbon Menu feature as this works for me, but I have been told that it is just avoiding me interacting with the ribbon how "normal" people would. I really don't mind because using the JAWS Virtual Ribbon Menu works best for me, and I still do know how to use the ribbon without it if I ever have to. As to your question about footnotes and such, you might find it easier to press Windows+semicolon. From this list, you can choose which of the different elements you want displayed in the virtual viewer. It is more convenient than navigating to the footnote pane and then back to your text.Now onto my suggestions:Aligning text:Normally, text is left-aligned. Some major headings are centred, though this will depend on the type of document. Text is only right-aligned when you are writing the date on the top of a formal letter. Text that is justified can be difficult for some people with low vision and reading disability to read, so avoid it as much as possible. Justified text is only used for extremely formal documents. I recommend that it be avoided.Text properties:Many blind people struggle with knowing how large or small to make their text, as well as how to show headings, when to emphasise or not to emphasise text, etc. I recommend that you avoid all of this by using styles. There are styles for headings, titles, subtitles, lists, shading and various levels of emphasis. Best of all, all of the styles are accessible to insert and read. Press Control+Shift+S and play around with various styles. You can also modify styles (I recommend that you modify the heading styles to use black text instead of blue). It is best to apply all the styles you like after you have written your document. If you are interested in knowing more about when to use different font sizes, italics, bold and the like, see what sorts of the things the styles do to your text. I think you will find that they are really simple and extremely effective; they can transform your documents into documents that are comparable to those your sighted colleagues produce.Tables:You should shade and centre colun headings.Getting accessibility going:It is important that you also create documents that are accessible. We should not expect to receive accessible documents when we cannot create accessible documents ourselves. I suggest that you use the Accessibility Checker; it finds many common accessibility issues in documents and provides guidance on how to fix them. You can find information about it here: https://support.office.com/en-gb/articl … d801426c7fOne final point:I find that working in Web Layout View works better for me as the text is presented more linearly, though you will want to change the view to Print View when passing the document on.

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc
Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc Hello Ambro, You are welcome.I am currently using Office 2016 and I don’t use any extention to customise ribbons or menus. You have commands that open each ribbon such as home tab (alt+H) file tab (alt+F), etc. Alternatively, you can browse ribbons by pressing alt (something I guess you already know) and navigating with left and right arrows and then pressing space to open one ribbon. Screen readers such as JAWS or NVDA have this tendency to jump from one page to another, skip tables, footnotes, etc. In this cases, when you detect that a text is unconnected to the text you were previously reading, press left arrow on the beginning of the current line. Find quickly the text you were reading previously, and go to the end of that line and press right arrow to jump to the next line. This should properly focus you on the next occurrence of text, be it a table, a footnote or a page break. Generally, that’s what I do to read footnotes or tables correctly. JAWS may be slow, but that depends also on the compatibility of JAWS and the program you are using, as well as the size and complexity of the document you are working on.@Grryf, You are warmly welcome. I really hope my instructions and posts will help you.To answer your first question, it depends on what it is. If it’s simply a blank line, you don’t need to place any number of spaces, because it’s just a blank line, meant to be blank. If it’s a date, like (31st December 2016) that you type on the beginning of one document, you could leave three spaces. Also, if stating the type of your document by a word, such as (writing, test, topic, homework, classwork) you could surely leave three spaces or six.To answer your second question, justifying can be used in each document you type, be it a note, an essay, a homework or classwork. Justifying is more of an aesthetic effect to your document that makes it more complete and regular. I don’t know much about aligning, honestly. When you write the first draft of a document, it is aligned left, but you should justify it.

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc
Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc Hello, There we go.I personally focus more on indentation, underlining, bolding or italicising as well as writing style (note here: I'm not talking about formal or informal writing, but about the visual differences among various types of writing.)The most popular writing style is Times New Roman, which is used widely in essays, article reflections or analyses, as well as lectures or even books, but books or novels may use a different writing style, such as book antiqua or any other that is not much popular. The size of text in essays, writing assignments or other types of similar writings is 12, and you can find it on font section (ctrl+D), where you will be able to change the writing style, the text size and more. Indentation is the act of leaving, or creating a number of spaces in the beginning of a line. The indentation is used mainly to mark the beginning of a new paragraph or it could also be used when writing the title of an essay or lecture. If you have ever encountered a braille text, it is exactly three spaces in the measure of braille but three is also in the ordinary text. Just for your information, three spaces make up 0.5 inches and six equal to one inch. Hint: when writing the title of an assignment you could leave a one inch space, but for paragraphs it is always 0.5. One thing I really advise you to remember, when you indent, number, add consecutive letters or bullits, it will be applied to all the next lines you will create. In order to apply one of the features I mentioned above only to one line or paragraph you want, you must press backspace on the next line you create to undo the feature you have applied on the previous line.To create a numbered, lettered or bullitted list, you must press a number followed by a full stop(period or dot) and space, or a number and tab. The same goes for letters; to create a lettered list, press a letter followed by full stop and one space, or one letter plus ta b. To create a bullitted list, you must press * followed by tab. As I said before, if you start a new line with indentation, numbering or other features, they will be applied to all the next lines you create. This is specially useful when you want to create a list which makes up a number of steps, typically in processes related to "how to do something in technology". Numbered or lettered lists are mostly used in informal writing or daily language, and not in essays or formal documents. In formal documents or formal and semi-formal assignments, you iniciate arguments, ideas, processes, or steps by ordinal numbers, as in "firstly, secondly, thirdly and so on."One mistake many people make but I advise you all to not do, is leaving a blank line when starting a new paragraph. A blank line is left between the title and the paragraph related to its title, but not to the following paragraphs. It is not also left when jumping from an introductory to a body paragraph . To sum this all up, blank lines are used to show that two ideas, sentences, paragraphs or other bigger unmarked units of this nature do not have a connection with each other.Underlining, bolding, and italicising.These features are used to highlight words (special terms or new words) or sentences (definitions and special structures) that you want to emphasise or draw the attention of your reader. I do not know in particular what are the differences between these three terms I am talking about, but I know that underlining is used to focus a term or sentence you are required to, and italicising or bolding are used to highlight special terms that will be discussed or should be carefully taken care of in terms of remembering or understanding. To underline, italicise or bold a word or sentence, you should select the unit you want, then apply one of the above effects. Remember that when you apply one of those effect, you must turn it off when you are done, since applying one of them is kind of tricky because you might think that the effect has been also added to the text that you didn't select. This is achieved by assuring yourself that the cursor is positioned at the right place. So, if, for example, you want to highlight a word, you make sure that the cursor is positioned on that word, and then you select the word. You press ctrl+U to underline the text you selected (it will say Underline on). When you are done, you move your cursor by one character, and after that press ctrl+U again to turn underlining off. If you keep underline on, it's not that it will underline each line you read, but it makes sure that you won't accidentally underline anything.About spacing I do not really know, while about the outline level I use always body text. For what I do at my university it is quite acceptable. As about the style I use always normal because I mostly have to do with writing articles, homeworks and essays. Other outline levels or style

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc Ahoy there.@afrim, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed post regarding formatting. This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. while it might take me a bit to take it all in and understand it (doing things is the way I learn) this is quite informative. and I seriously appreciate the time and effort you have put into this.For example, I was told that one ought to leave a blank line between paragraphs but this makes sense kinda. So to do a proper paragraph or to begin one, you'd leave 3 spaces, is there any spacing that one should leave at the beginning of each line that is not the start of a paragraph?As to justification, I suppose its a good idea to apply that to the main text or the body of whatever it is that you happen to be writing? When would you align stuff right or left? I.E in what situ ations or examples.I'll practice all this to begin with and throw out more questions/ doubts if I have any which I am sure I will.I wouldn't mind input from others as well and I am sure Afrin wouldn't either, hence we have this topic here instead of communicating through e-mails or such. so go ahead and share the ways in which you write up the documents that are to be worked/shared with sighted peers/friends or collaborated with.Grryf URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=291593#p291593 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc Hello, There we go.I personally focus more on indentation, underlining, bolding or italicising as well as writing style (note here: I'm not talking about formal or informal writing, but about the visual differences among various types of writing.)The most popular writing style is Times New Roman, which is used widely in essays, article reflections or analyses, as well as lectures or even books, but books or novels may use a different writing style, such as book antiqua or any other that is not much popular. The size of text in essays, writing assignments or other types of similar writings is 12, and you can find it on font section (ctrl+D), where you will be able to change the writing style, the text size and more. Indentation is the act of leaving, or creating a number of spaces in the beginning of a line. The indentation is used mainly to mark the beginning of a new paragraph or it could also be used when writing the title of an essay or lecture. If you have ever encountered a braille text, it is exactly three spaces in the measure of braille but three is also in the ordinary text. Just for your information, three spaces make up 0.5 inches and six equal to one inch. Hint: when writing the title of an asignment you could leave a one inch space, but for paragraphs it is always 0.5. One thing I really advise you to remember, when you indent, number, add consequtive letters or bullits, it will be applied to all the next lines you will create. In order to apply one of the features I mentioned above only to one line or paragraph you want, you must press backspace on the next line you create to delete the feature you have applied on the previous line.To create a numbered, lettered or bullited list, you must press a number followed by a full stop(period or dot) and space, or a number and tab. The same goes for letters; To create a bullited list, you must press * followed by tab. As I said before, if you start a new li ne with indentation, numbering or other features, they will be applied to all the next lines you create. This is specially useful when you want to create a list which makes up a number of steps, typically in processes related to "how to do something in technology". Numbered or lettered lists are mostly used in informal writing or daily language, and not in essays or formal documents. In formal documents or formal and semi-formal assignments, you iniciate arguments, ideas, processes, or steps by ordinal numbers, as in "firstly, secondly, thirdly and so on."One mistake many people make but I advise you all to not do, is leaving a blank line when starting a new paragraph. A blank line is left between the title and the paragraph related to its title, but not to the following paragraphs. It is not also left when jumping from an introductory to a body paragraph. To sum this all up, blank lines are used to show that two ideas, sentences, paragraphs or other bigger unmarked units of this nature do not have a connection with each other.Underlining, bolding, and italicising.These features are used to highlight words (special terms or new words) or sentences (definitions and special structures) that you want to emphasise or draw the attention of your reader. I do not know in particular what are the differences between these three terms I am talking about, but I know that underlining is used to focus a term or sentence you are required to, and italicising or bolding are used to highlight special terms that will be discussed or should be carefully taken care of in terms of remembering or understanding them. To underline, italicise or bold a word or sentence, you should select the unit you want, then apply one of the above effects. Remember that when you apply one of those effect, you must turn it off when you are done, because applying one of them is kind of tricky because you might think that the effect has been also added to the tex t that you didn't select. This is achieved by asuring yourself that the cursor is positioned at the right place. So, if, for example, you want to highlight a word, you make sure that the cursor is positioned on that word, and then you select the word. You press ctrl+U to underline the text you selected (it will say Underline on). When you are done, you move your cursor by one character, and after that press ctrl+U again to turn underlining off. If you keep underline on, it's not that it will underline each line you read, but it makes sure that you won't accidentally underline anything.About spacing I do not really know, while about the outline level I use always body text. For what I do at my university it is quite acceptable. As about the style I use always normal because I mostly have to do with writing articles, homeworks and essays. Other outline levels or styles are used in more complicated writings. However, in accordance with the content you type

proper Formatting/ presenting documents in ms word and other word proc Ahoy all.I have been wanting to learn this for sometime now, specially after I have started a UNI and almost about to finish it and have noticed that the documents I write up could use some clean up.To make it easy on the eye, as it were.I couldn't really think of a topic name that'd go with exactly what I am looking for help with so feel free to suggest something better if you can think of it.We were talking about the good and the bad of MS Office 2016 and 2013 in this topicwhich finally got me to write up this topic asking for suggestions and ideas that people often employ when writing up their documents which are ment to be for people who actually read and not have stuff read to them.Basicly, I am a clueless bugger when it comes to this kind of thing, proper spacing for titles, alignment, where to write what looks good, what doesn't? same for paragraphs,then fo r places where you create a list or multiple pointers I.E 1. point 1,2. point 2 and so on.Anything at all to do with styling,spacing, indentation (which I suppose is the same thing?) what goes where and what looks good or what you'd call proper and presentable.I don't suppose other articles on the internet would exactly tell you how to work good presentation with a screenreader, hence the topic here.I'll write up additional questions/ doubts as I think of them,and I am looking forward to the ideas and ways people work with their documents. be it essays, official communications (letters) or things of that nature.
