Re: [JAWS-Users] formatting headers in Microsoft Word 2007
Hello Chanelle, There is a quick way to have a part of a line left-aligned and another part right-aligned whether working in a document pane or in a header/footer pane. First type the information that you want to be left-aligned in a blank header. However, do not use spaces between the words but instead use nonbreaking spaces. A nonbreaking space can be inserted using CTRL+shift+spacebar. Make sure there are no hard spaces between any of the words you want left-aligned. After typing the information that you want to be left-aligned using only nonbreaking spaces between the words, use a hard space. After the hard space insert your page field using the design tab on the ribbon. Do not use a space after the page field. Immediately after inserting the page field use CTRL+J. Immediately after using CTRL+J use a shift+enter command to force a line break. This procedure will left-align the title and right-align the page number field. If you were right-aligning more than the page number field then you would also need to use nonbreaking spaces between words to be right-aligned. Feel free to E-mail me if you need any further clerification. To create a table of contents use Alt key followed by S followed by T. A list of choices will be presented. The automatic choices will build a table of contents based on headings 1 through 3 in your document. You should move the cursor to the point where you want the table of contents to be placed before creating it. If you don't want to use the automatic choices you can choose manual or the table of contents dialog box. The manual choice will insert fields to be filled in. The dialog box will give you options and allow you to choose different options. After creating the table of contents you might need to use CTRL+enter key to insert a page break, as the automatic tables are not kept on their own page. Take care. Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net Dear Jaws users, I am trying to format a header in Word 2007 such that the abbreviated title is flush left and the page number is flush right. I am writing a paper in APA format. Is there a way to use Jaws to make sure that the heading and page number are placed correctly? I don't think that the control l and control r commands can be used on the same line. I have looked for instructions online, but it is hard to follow visual commands. I also need to create a table of contents in Word 2007. Are there any good free or low cost resources detailing how to complete more advanced editing tasks? I have looked through the Daisy files provided with Jaws, which were not helpful. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] formatting headers in Microsoft Word 2007
These instructions apply to Word 2003 but there should be some 2007 equivalent. 1. Re justification of page number do this from the insert page number function rather than working directly in the header or footer. In Word 2003 you simply go to insert and then page number on the menu bar and set the options you want there. Hopefully somebody using 2007 can show you a quick way to do this without having to tab or shift tab loads of times. As I understand it in 2007 the secret is to be able to remember keystrokes to get there quickly. 2. Similarly in 2003 for table of contents you simply go to the insert menu, then reference, then index and contents . Control tab until you hear the table of contents tab. Here you will find options to automatically create tables of contents. . The simplest way to do this is to let it create tables from headers that you have inserted in the tables. You can then edit and tidy up the tables automatically created if you want. Someone else will have to tell you where table of contents is in 2007 but you may get a clue from the above.

The control r and control l keys do work, with a little added work. First type the text you want left justified. I believe in a header this will automatically left justify, but to be safe, you can select the text and use control l. Then type the text to be right justified; select it and do the control r. Sorry I don't know the answer to the second part of the question.

Re: [JAWS-Users] formatting headers in Microsoft Word 2007
Alt-delete will tell you the placement of the cursor from the left edge and from the top edge. I believe, maybe, the headers are sectioned into left/center/right. I would have to look that up in Cathy Ann's tutorial, though.
