Those keys are very useful and will make headings within a document, but not a running Head which is I think what Adrian is trying to do.

Subject: Re: Creating headers in Word 2010 with JAWS Hi Adrian, See if these notes I've saved help you any: From: Barbara Anne Bolin A quick way to set text with a heading is: CTL + ALT + 1 = heading level 1 CTL + ALT + 2 = heading level 2 CTL + ALT + 3 = heading level 3 Pressing JAWS Key + F will verify the heading was set. You do not have to highlight the data before using the above key strokes. Everything on that line will be given the requested heading level. You can increase a heading level with shift + ALT + right arrow. You can decrease a heading level with shift + ALT + left arrow. These are WORD keys, not JAWS keys. They have been extremely useful to me. Always, Barbara Anne [email protected] From: Ed Marquette Barbara Ann is absolutely correct. The template in use, however, needs to have the heading levels set as desired. They really are styles. So, if the default headings aren't what you want, modify the style. Once you have opened the modify style sheet, hit shift tab to "Format." Then, hit ENTER. The dialog box gives you choices as to font, numbering, paragraph alignment, and so on. If you ever need Heading 4 style, be aware that control plus alt plus 4 won't work. Instead, press control plus shift plus s for "styles." Then hit "h" for headings. Arrow down past headings 1, 2, and 3 to heading 4 and press enter. Of course, the same principle applies for heading 5 and so on. After you have used a style from the strategy identified above, the style pane will be open. You may want to get rid of the styles pane. Just hit F-6 until it comes up, press shift space, and arrow to "close." One more thing. Barbara said the style will apply to the line. Actually, it will apply to the whole paragraph. So, if you don't want to insert a carriage return (or a style separator) between the heading style and the rest of the paragraph (I do this in contracts), Highlight the part of the paragraph you want in the heading style. Then apply the style to that part of the paragraph. Ed From: Nicole Massey Those heading styles should be contained in your normal.dot as well, so making a copy of this and just dropping it in if something goes wonky should also work. Nicole From: Dave "Farfar" Carlson Barbara Anne, Very nice. It's always good to have shortcuts presented as reminders. I wonder if the same increase and decrease commands will change outline levels, as well... Dave Carlson San Francisco Bay Area semi-retired sales engineer, Farfar, musician, and woodworker. [email protected] From: Dave "Farfar" Carlson Barbara Anne, Excellent! I just tried it out on an outline I was struggling with several weeks ago. If I had only known about these increase/decrease commands, it would have saved me literally an hour's worth of headache.

This header will consist of my name, the work's title and a running page number. I know to get to the start of this dialog in Word 2010 by pressing alt-n for insert, h for header, then e for edit. However, at that point I can't move focus at all. I ended up having my sighted assistant do it with the mouse. I've read the passage in CathyAnne Murtha's Word 2010 textbook, and she writes as if this process is doable with JAWS. But her instructions take me no further than I got myself. Has anyone succeeded in creating such a header in word 2010 with JAWS? If so, please give me some pointers. I will need to create headers for other documents in the near future. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
