Hi,,
If you want a header on the second and following pages, you must go to page
2 and insert the header information a second time or it will not show up on
subsequent pages.
Word has a table of contents function that will bring all headings into the
table automatically. I have never used it, but I assume it has formatting
built into the function.
There is also a create tables function. It will create tables with equally
spaced columns of different widths depending on how many columns you want.
It will also let you set different widths if, say, you wanted a wider left
column to allow for a longer row title. To addd rows to a table, place
the cursor at the right end of the bottom right cell and hit tab. A table
title is easiest placed outside the table and can be centered as any other
text can be.

That's a tall order, Laura. Header is probably the easiest thing.
Go to the view menu, and arrow down to header and footer and press
enter. this should put you in the header/footer pane, where you
would enter your header information. If you press insert-f, Jaws
should give you a lot of information about font and such, including
the words 'header style'. Maybe. depending on your version of JAWS.
You format a header the way you would do text, centering, bolding and
so on. If you down arrow a couple of times you will be in the footer
pane, be aware.
When you are finished with the header go back to the view menu and
choose normal so the pane goes away.
Once you are no longer in pane (sorry about that), you can read the
header with insert-f1, or in print preview with the JAWS cursor.
