Track Changes in Word with NVDA Page 2
TEXT REVISIONS
Once Track Changes has been turned on, Word displays revisions made to
the documents as coloured text that is either underlined or has a
strikethrough.
Text that has been inserted will appear in a blue,
underlined font. NVDA will say “inserted” before
reading the inserted text and “not inserted” after the
inserted text.
Text that has been deleted will appear in a blue,
strikethrough font. NVDA will say “deleted” before
reading the deleted text and “not deleted” after
reading the deleted text.
Text that has been changed (deleted and replaced
with new text) will appear in a blue font. The original
text will have a strikethrough, and the inserted text
will be underlined. NVDA will say “deleted” before
reading the deleted text, “not deleted, inserted”
before reading the inserted text, and “not inserted”
after reading the inserted text.
NVDA will announce revisions as they are encountered while reading or
navigating a document. However, users can also jump directly from one
revision to the next using the ribbon. To move to the revision, press ALT +
R, H, 1. To move to the previous revision, press ALT + R, F.
ACCEPTING AND REJECTING CHANGES
If working collaboratively on a document, revisions made by other users can
be accepted or rejected. This can be done through the context menu or
through the ribbons. Accepting a revision will add it to the document, while
rejecting a revision will delete it from the document. Using the ribbon will
also automatically move the cursor to the next revision.
