Check out this week's JAWS Power Tip: How To Navigate Comments in Word with JAWS https://toptechtidbits.com/how-to-navigate-comments-in-word-with-jaws/
Comments are used to make suggestions in a document without changing the text. Visually, they appear in balloons inside the margins. You can read, reply to, and delete comments using keyboard commands. Here's how to navigate among comments from any location in your document using JAWS.
The new Outlook and Outlook Classic have different layouts and navigation models, which can change how you interact with them using JAWS.
One helpful feature is switching between the Virtual PC Cursor and the standard PC Cursor:
• Toggle: INSERT+Z (or CAPS LOCK+Z)
• Check cursor: NUMPAD PLUS (or CAPS LOCK+SEMICOLON)
Use the Virtual PC Cursor to read emails or invites, navigate like a web page, and jump to elements with Quick Nav keys. It can make navigation faster and reduce tabbing.

How do you read PowerPoint speaker notes on a Braille display during a presentation?
Two ways to do this with JAWS:
1: Use Split Braille to display speaker notes on one side of your Braille display while presenting.
2: While in Slide Show mode, press CTRL+SHIFT+N to have JAWS read the speaker notes for the current slide. Press ESC to return to the presentation.
For additional guidance, you can also access JAWS Help with INSERT+H.

As you transition to the new Outlook desktop app, some familiar shortcuts may change.
For example, F7 no longer runs spell check as it does in Outlook Classic. The new interface can still be navigated with JAWS using keyboard commands, but it may require a few adjustments.
Staying aware of these differences can make the transition smoother. Check out this JAWS Power Tip: How To Spellcheck an Email in the New Outlook: https://toptechtidbits.com/news-09-25-2025/
The new Outlook desktop app has a new design that differs from that of Outlook Classic, and can be navigated with JAWS using keyboard commands. In Outlook Classic, you can check spelling by pressing F7; however, this keyboard command does not work in the new Outlook. Instead, follow these steps.
