I think it may be helpful to add a couple of details. First, a header is set up either by default or by modifying it to allow for only a certain number of lines of text. I no longer remember where you look to ascertain what the default is, or how to change it if you must, except to say refer to Word help to find out. Second, a header is of course placed at the top of the page in a space allotted for it above where the actual text of the document begins on that page. Just so, the footer is placed at the bottom, beneath the last line of text. But within the editing area for a header or footer, you can do most things you'd be able to do in the body of a Word document, and you have to be aware of this. You can't just type something and exit. The result would possibly look very odd to a sighted person. You can set the font to be the same as the font of your document, or different, larger or smaller, and so forth. More important, you can determine whether what you type is left-aligned, or centered, or whatever. Most commonly, the text within a header is supposed to appear on the upper right side of the page,unless you have a purpose in placing it differently. So you must use the same formatting controls as in the body of a document-- tabs, right alignment, whatever-- to achieve this. As you work in that area, Jaws will speak and behave the same as in a Word document, so it won't be that mysterious. Hope that helps yet more. ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.W.

The following is an old message from Debbie Scales... This is a helpful hint on JFWLite in the word section that Cathy Anne wrote up for us once. Adding a header: 1. open the view menu 2. press enter on header and footer 3. you may input the text for the header immediately or, you may access the header/footer tool bar for more options. To access the header/footer tool bar, press the alt key and then press control + shift + tab to access the tool bar. You may use the right and left arrow key to navigate through the options. And just an additional note from me, you can close the header dialog with alt C once you are finished creating the header.
