Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
It is nice JAWS to offer many so different built-in schemes and, in case none of them suit our needs, the capability of configuring each aspect of a scheme. For dayly use, I'm right with the Classic scheme with only one (technically six) modification: instead of hearing heading level numbers, I configured the Classic scheme to play a different piano note depending on the specific heading level, therefore navigating by headings or reading documents with many titles is faster. Since I rarely need JAWS to report each attribute or font change in a text (usually INSERT+F for specific parts is enough), I'm not confident with Proofreading-like schemes that indicate changes simply by reading the affected with another voice or pitch. For these cases, I prefer built-in variants of the Classic Scheme instead. Regarding Word changing automatically superscripts, subscripts and many other things, I find useful to have the Provide Feedback with Sound option checked. On this topic, it plays a Liquid Paper sound when Word changes something automatically, and a thighter one when you place your caret over a text which was modified automatically, although in this case by default JAWS say “Smart tag: Undo automatic actions,” which indicate you can press ALT+SHIFT+F10 to open a context menu related to the correction made.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Yes, smile, but the brain, my brain, seems to remember "p" for proofreading, more easily than "c" for classic attributes and font info. Whatever works! LOL. Actually now that I know Word is reliably printing super and sub scripts as instructed, I will probably take them for granted. But if I were taking chemistry, I would definitely have that proofreading scheme on so that I would hear formulas as written. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, May 21, 2018 1:44 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016 You've solved the problem for your needs, Rebecca, but I note that the "classic attributes and font" speech and sounds scheme picks up superscript.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Hi Adrian, You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said. Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word. To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options. In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options. In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Well done, Rebecca. The nice thing about this command, which is new to me, is that it moves from superscript to superscript, so you don't have to figure out the next instance on your own. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 6:35 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016 Adrian, The windows-alt-I command does tell you.

I just opened a word document in Office 365. I'm using Magic at 22X so I can see what I write, sometimes. Anyway. I wrote 14th and 2nd and I could see that after I wrote each of these and pressed the space bar, the t h and the n d were placed in superscript. However, Jaws doesn't indicate this.
