Those troublesome track changes and comments


This is one challenge that I am constantly having to deal with: when anyone sends me documents with changes and track changes. Some access technology may be better able to read it than others but no matter what, it is extremely painful for me.

Sometimes I miss out on finding the comments and track changes and at other times I am fine with it. It all depends on which access technology or screen reading technology I am using. I am not going to mention specific names of screen reading technology here but suffice it to say that some pieces of software are better than others.

I am not sure if there is any other way to deal with these, short of coming up with some sort of editor to do it. Maybe I am dreaming but this is the way that the rest of the world is going so I have to find a way to deal with this.
This has become more important for me now as I move forward with my law studies. Especially so when my professors send me their comments and track changes in Word documents. Wish me luck.

Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and inviting you to go out there and tell others about my challenge with track changes and comments in Word documents.
