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
