Six Tips for Managing Complex Documents with JAWS, Presented by Vispero
Thursday, July 16, 10:00–11:00 a.m. Central Time
Documents often contain much more than text. Reports, course materials, presentations, and other documents may include complex layouts, graphics, charts, tables, and dense information that can be difficult to navigate efficiently. In this webinar, we'll share six tips for managing and interacting with documents using JAWS.
You'll learn how to:
- Download, organize, and access documents.
- Navigate lengthy documents and quickly move to specific pages, sections, and other key content.
- Edit and add information while maintaining the document's existing formatting and style.
- Use JAWS AI-powered tools to gain meaningful insights from images, charts, graphs, and other visual elements.
- Identify and navigate document structure, including headings and other navigation elements
- Work more effectively with tables and data contained within documents.
ACVREP credits will be available for those who attend the live webinar.
