Markup Mode Guidance
|
David Russell <david.sonofhashem@...>
Hello NVDA Chat,
I am requesting your assist with a Microsoft support document. This gives step-by-step directions on how to view comments made to a thoroughly edited document. These are in what is called "markup mode". Two Questions: 1. What is the SR Key in NVDA? 2. Are these steps universal or standard to screen readers regardless of make? Here is the tutorial. To change to All Markup mode, press Alt, R, T, D. The markup menu is expanded and you hear the name of the currently selected markup. In the markup list, press the Up or Down arrow key until you hear “All Markup,” and press Enter to select. The focus returns to the body text. Press the SR key+Down arrow key to start continuous reading from your current location in the text. You can also use your screen reader's other keyboard commands to navigate, for example, line by line. Your screen reader announces when it finds a comment in the text. To stop reading, press Ctrl." Will this turn off markup mode i.e., press control? Sincerely, -- David C. Russell, Author david.sonofhashem@...

I'm guessing that they are referring to the NVDA modifier key, which is usually the numpad insert key and/or possibly the caps lock key. By SR they probably are referring to screen reader. It could have been phrased much better.

After reading your message again I realized that this is a generic set of instructions for screen readers and not specifically for NVDA. Considering this the insert+down arrow key does read continuously from the cursor position whether we're talking about Narrator, JAWS or NVDA. The SR key refers to the modifier key used by your screen reader, such as insert, caps lock, etc.

David Russell, you didn't say what editor you are using. Is this markup thing part of your editor or your screen reader? It's something that I've never used; but I'd like to get a look at it. But I don't know where it relates nor what it means.

Some people actually write in a text editor using markup. I find it very confusing as its a little like going back to inserting control codes in text as in Wordstar with a dumb printer. The difference is that if done right you can load the file into word and its formatted correctly.

Never did appeal to me but if you are a user of many platforms, then I can see the appeal. Brian -- bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.(Virgin media) Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Hello NVDA Chat,
First, thank you to David, Howard, and Brian for your responses to my request. I was able to by and large gain access to the document and comments within the document. I changed the Protected View in MS Word to Unprotected View. Thus I read through the document and comments using the View As HTML option. Brian, I agree, this program by the outside service is somewhat irksome, disconcerting, or convoluted on the ears at first. I was told in an email this 'markup' is called Track Changes. To answer Howard, I sent in a document to an online service called ProofReadingPal.com. They returned my document with 'markup' editorial feedback in the form of word insertions, deletions, or corrected spelling within the document. I think this is similar to GoogleDocs from how I understand that to present information. The benefit with GDocs, is comments can be emailed to the writer if preset, and those comment emails are in sequence from first to last. You need to know your document or have the commenter hint to what their comment specifically is directed. The service used by me did not offer a choice of how I wanted feedback. I knew that from the start. David, thanks for the term clarifications; yes, it could have been worded with better clarity, hmm. All the best, -- David C. Russell, Author david.sonofhashem@...

Ah track changes is not mark up. Mark up is almost a language of formatting like html. What track changes does and its in Word of course, is to keep a record of the history of the document, so beside each change is the old words or spelling. Unfortunately as has been mentioned here recently this falls to bits when you save the file as html as the hidden history splurges all over the document, or at least appears to and the only way to get back is to stay in normal mode, cut the whole document and then save the doc as that, then start a new document and paste the old one into that and then save as html, as then the hidden changes are not shown.
