I have taken the following text from the Jaws 2018 popular applications
for Microsoft word.


Track Changes
This option controls if JAWS detects and announces any insertions,
deletions, formatting changes, or comments made to a document using
Word's Track Changes feature.
Several choices are available for this option.
Off: JAWS does not detect any revisions.
Speak type: JAWS announces the type of revision made, for example,
inserted text or deleted text. This is the default setting.
Speak type plus count: In addition to speaking the type of revision,
JAWS also announces the number of revisions per line.
Speak type and author: In addition to speaking the type of revision,
JAWS also announces the user name of the individual who made the
revision.
Speak type and author plus count: JAWS speaks the type of revision, the
name of the person who made it, and the number of revisions per line.
Speak type, author, and date: JAWS speaks the type of revision, the
name of the person who made it, and the date the revision was made.
Speak type, author, and date plus count: JAWS speaks the type of
revision, the name of the person who made it, the date the revision was
made, and the number of revisions per line.

Note: You can also use CTRL+INSERT+R to announce revision information
when the cursor is on a revised item. Refer to Track Changes (
mk:@MSITStore:C:%20Scientific2018.CHM::/word_processing/microsoft_word/track_changes_wd.htm
) for more information.

You can review current settings by pressing insert + v to open quick
settings from Microsoft Word.
type tr in the search field to provide the settings for track changes
which will appear in the list below.

I hope this helps.
I believe that this would also apply to jaws 18.
