Help! Anyone good or at least successful at editing a smart art graphic? Anyone? (self.Blind)
submitted by [deleted]
Help!!!!!!!! I am going to not do well at this module unless I get the right answer. I am desperate for answers right now. It’s due today and it’s 80 percent complete and I am stuck on this smart art graphic crap!

Anyone else here tried working with a smart art graphic? With any better luck then me? I get how to do most things in word besides smart art graphics. Well there are a few other things but the most tricky is the smart art stuff.

I am asked to edit one and add text and shapes to a smart art graphic. I open the edit pain and it says type text here. So I do. It says bullet all the way down for the different shapes. When I do the text I type doesn’t read. It still says bullet. When I type it doesn’t read back what I have typed in so I can edit it. Enter adds another bullet or shape, which I don’t know if the column and rows still makes sense or not.
When I try to add shapes by doing the add above or below thing it probably adds one but I think it requires that the pointer is pointed to it. Anyone have more luck with these things?

I can keep typing but i don’t know if anything is entered correctly, if at all. The smart art graphics is what I’ve always been struggling with, and it wasn’t that big of a point category before, but yes I’ve always gotten something wrong when it comes to it.

My best suggestions are to:

1. Try JAWS, NVDA and Narrator.

2. Use Be My Eyes to get some help so you have a better idea of what's happening.

Sorry, don't know how to help you.

I have a question: who the fuck gives a blind person to work with graphics ?

And more absurdly - grades it..

Hahahahaha! I kind of agree with you because I can kind of do it all this graphics stuff but I also have no idea before hand if I am correct. I am taking a MOS. Certification course at the moment and one of the word modules has a lot to do with graphics.

That's fucked up, both practically and logically. But i guess book is a book.

I am certain I will never use these skills again but yeah, it’s a course and a certification. Would people really have me or let me edit their graphics? Probably not. Anyone else can probably do better then me and probably want to do it. I probably don’t want to do it either but it’s some skills I guess if I figure it out.
