Annette, Thank you for the definitions. The header information was indeed where I needed it to be. I had my sighted fiancé take a look. Unfortunately it seems as though we can no longer route JAWS to PC and scroll up and see that information. Hopefully in the future this returns back to its previous state. Otherwise many people are just going to have to trust that the information is in the header. I can't speak for the footer since I have not had to use it this semester. As for now though the problem is taken care of.

Header - This is information that is placed in the top margin of a page. Headings - This refers to a formatting style that you can apply to the various levels of titles in your document. For example, the chapter title might always be placed 2 inches down from the top margin and be centered in a large font in all capital letters and bolded. The section headings might be placed at the left margin in the same font size as your text, all capitalized bolded and underlined. Sub-headings might be in the same size as the document text the initial letter of each word capitalized and bolded. What I have described here is just an example. MS-Word offers a number of pre-set styles for headings. Many of us are also familiar with referring to headings based on their level in your outline, such as Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc. So all Heading 1's will all have the same attributes, but they will be different from all other heading levels used. Of course, Heading 2's will have their own set of attributes, as will all other heading levels that you use. Footer - This is information that is placed in the bottom margin of a page. Footnotes - Back in the day of WordPerfect this is what we called the notes that you referenced in the body of your text. These were placed above the bottom margin of the page where they were referenced. These impacted how much text you could fit in the body of the document for that page. The more footnotes you had the less room there was for your document text on that page. I cannot remember what these are called in MS-Word. End Notes - Rather than having the footnotes at the bottom of the page where there are referenced, all of the notes are placed at the end of the document and are numbered sequentially throughout your document text. Comments - The use of comments is equivalent to making hand written notes in the margins of your document. MS-Word gives you the option to have comments printed out with your document or not. When I was grading papers this was a great way to provide feedback to my students. However, since Office 2007, JAWS and comments have not played well together. Mark-Up - When you have Mark-Up turned on in MS-Word, all edits are shown in some type of visual representation or another. With JAWS 12 and older, I have not been successful in making use of Mark-Up when collaborating on a document with others. At work, many people I work with rely on Mark-Up.

The insert field says "headers", but it actually places the typed information up in the margin area. I have to have one inch margins for my Abnormal Psych course and name, class, etc. up in the margin area of the document. I apologize that I was not clearer. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Roberta Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 9:48 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word control and alt 1 will put a number 1 heading control alt 2 will put number 2 heading control alt 3 will put a number 3 heading -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Josh Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 6:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word Hello, Can anyone assist me with inserting headers into a Microsoft Word 2010 document? I am using Windows 8 and JAWS 14 latest version. I get as far as typing in my information and then I route Jaws to PC to scroll up and see if I can view what I typed in, but it is nowhere to be found. Thank you for any assistance you can offer on this matter.
