number of lines in a document

CJ &AA MAY
I know how to get Jaws to tell me what page I am on and how many words in a document, but is there a way for me to find out how many lines in a document without physically having to count them?

This works for me. Press f6 till you hear Status bar tool bar Press the context menu key or shift-f10. You will be in a list of items. Either arrow down or tab and check what you want. I have page number, line number and word count checked. Press escape as needed to get back to your document. From: jaws-users-list@groups.io [mailto:jaws-users-list@groups.io] On Behalf Of CJ &AA MAY

Rebecca,
The status bar info is handy but it shows you the line number where the cursor is positioned on the particular page in the document, not the total number of lines in the document. The alt + r + w hotkey provided by Justin opens a word count dialog which is faster and includes a lot of helpful info including total lines in the document.

Sorry. I just re-read the original request and you’re correct. I have my number of lines checked because I often would like to know where I am on that particular page. I’ve never needed to know the number of lines in a document, so I missed that distinction.

Rebecca,
I still very much appreciated your post because I was unaware of the helpful info pressing the F6 key in Word would provide. I've added your F6 tip to my Excel sheet of hotkeys.

You’re welcome. We learn new things all the time. I played around in Word, trying to get it to number each line consecutively in a document. This would be necessary, I assume, to tell someone else what line number was needed. I followed directions I found in Google and either it did not work, perhaps there is a useful bit I did not do, or JAWS is not reading the line numbers as I arrow through the document. I checked the status bar and it was still counting lines for each page. But I did rediscover the other options in the go to menu. Press f5 or control-g. Tab to the list of options. We don’t remember all the commands and choices in a program unless we use them all the time. From: jaws-users-list@groups.io [mailto:jaws-users-list@groups.io] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly

Hi Alan,
You can also set the status bar to announce only
what you want announced when invoking the read status bar keystroke, Insert +
Pagedown, using the F6 key by doing the following.
To show number of lines, line number, or
many other options in the status bar in Word try the following:
1. Press F6 until Status bar is highlighted. Or, until you hear Jaws report, Status Toolbar. It should be the 2nd press of the F6 key. 2. Press Shift + F10 to show options. This keystroke must be used because a right mouse click or pressing the application key will not. 3. Down arrow through the available options, and when you have found line count or something else of interest press the spacebar to check or uncheck the item. 4. when done making modifications simply press AltF4 or the escape key. 5. Review your status line to insure the settings have been properly modified. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up. ----- Original Message -----

Hi Mike,
Thanks for refreshing my memory that Insert + Pagedown reads the status bar and for restating the steps in Word to pick what you want displayed in the status bar. If I keep reviewing this stuff enough, perhaps I'll be able to make it stick in this aging memory.
