That is correct.  However, that reads the page number found on the status
line of the MS Word window.  Wnat I am asking is, if I go to the Insert
menu, and choose page numbers in the resulting dialog box, the page numbers
which will be printed can appear either in the header or footer of the
document.  Is there a way to access those without using the JAWS cursor or
moving to the header and Footer areas of the document?

Thank you for responding.
