I don't know. Arial is the type, and 2 is the size.
Maybe what I really want to know is, does Bookshare's translator recognize a wide range of fonts?

I don't even have an Arial 2. Mine Word font choices
start with Arial 8. Do you suppose it's really Arial
12 and the 1 is missing?

I think Arial 2 is like Times New Roman 20.  At
least, that's where it
puts me when I change the font to TNR.  It just
doesn't stay TNR.  Odd.

Size 2? Is that even possible? That is so tiny

change the font either.
Maybe it's so tiny Word and JAWS can't even find
it to get it selected. lol
I really don't think that is possible either, but
when things get really
strange you have to wonder if anything dumb is
impossible. :-)

No, I don't think that's it. JFW seems to read
headers and footers OK.
The font is Arial, size 2, which is not one FS
told me was good for JFW.
I don't seem to be able to change it, though,
although I can change it
other places. However, as no one else here seems
to have this problem, 
perhaps I will ask elsewhere.
Maybe it doesn't even matter, so long as
Bookshare's translators can see
the Arial font. It just makes it hard for me to
check.

My other thought is maybe word is recognizing
the text as a page header.
Page headers and footers are usually outside of
the typical writing
area,
and more placed in the upper and lower part of
the page margin.
I'm not positive, but JAWS MAY not announce the
page header and footer
information unless you specifically tell to
navigate to and read it.
This is
more than simply arrowing up or down, but I
don't remember it off-hand. 
Sorry.

If you've changed the font type already, I'm
not sure what the problem
is.
Is it maybe too big? Or striked out? I know
color doesn't make a
difference. When you're on a line with the
header you can't read, does
insert F announce any useful information at
all?
I honestly don't know the answer to your
questions, but maybe answering
some
of these questions will spark a solution from
someone else.

Sometimes in Word, using Jaws, I can't read
text that K1K can. It
usually
happens with titles, part and section headers,
and such. I think it
has
to
do with font,as FS tells me Jaws is pretty
picky about that. However,
changing the font in Word, under Format, to
one I know JFW likes
doesn't 
seem to help.
Will Bookshare's translation tools see these
headers, even if I can't?
Is
there a way to make them so I can see them
with JFW, too? 
Thanks.
Tracy
