Hi, Jason, Two things. To set up headers in Word 2000, choose headers and footers from the view menu. This will put you into a pane where you can type in what you want for your header. I haven't figured out, though, how to change headers within a document. Also, pressing alt, then control-tab with the header pane open will put you onto the header menu bar, which gives you some options. It appears that by typing the header, then pressing enter for a line space, then typing again puts you onto the footer pane, but I wouldn't stake my life on it. When I printed/ scanned my document, though, that's what happened. the 'insert autotext' option has to do with assigning the document some pre-printed stuff; 'company name: ...' like that. F6 switches from the header pane to the document. All the page headers are in the header pane, so you can read them. turning off the header pane (view menu, uncheck headers/footers) you can read the document header with the JAWS cursor. I haven't found a way to read the footer outside the header/footer pane, though. I have pasted below the information about Excel headers for Excel 2002 from the Project Assist tutorial, thinking that it's probably very similar to Word 2002 which I don't have. For what it's worth, here you are. good luck! Ann 8- Topic: Creating Headers and Footers Introduction. Headers and footers allow you to include the same information on every printed page such as the workbook title, your name, or a page number. Excel automatically makes the necessary adjustments to ensure that the header and/or footer information appears on each printed page. A header and footer can include as much information as necessary for your workbook. Remember, inserting header and footer information affects the amount of worksheet data that will fit on a single printed page. Exercise Objectives. In the following three exercises, you will review the Header/Footer tabbed page on the Page Setup dialog box and enter header and footer information for the Orders worksheet. Exercise: Reviewing the Header/Footer Tabbed Page Complete the following eleven steps to review the Header/Footer tabbed page on the Page Setup dialog box. Step 1: Press Alt-V to pull down the View menu. JFW announces, "Menu Active Normal Checked." Step 2: Press the Down Arrow key until the Header and Footer command is selected. JFW announces, "Header and Footer Dot Dot Dot H." Then, press Enter to execute the Header and Footer command. The Page Setup dialog box appears. JFW announces, "Leaving Menus Page Setup Dialog Header/Footer Page Header/Footer Tab." The Page Setup dialog box has four tabbed pages: Page, Margins, Header/Footer, and Sheet. When you use the Header and Footer command on the View menu, the Page Setup dialog box always opens to the Header/Footer tabbed page. Step 3: Press Tab to move to the Header combo box. JFW announces, "Header: Combo Box (none)." The Header combo box contains a list of pre-defined header elements. These elements include page numbers, the worksheet name, the workbook name, the date, your name, and your company or organization's name. You may choose a pre-defined element only, choose to customize the header with your own information, or use a combination of pre-defined elements and your own information. Note: When you choose a pre-defined header element, Excel centers the information at the top of the page. Step 4: Press Tab to move to the Custom Header button. JFW announces, "Custom Header Dot Dot Dot Button Alt-C." Activate the Custom Header button if you want to add your own information to the header. When you activate the Custom Header button, the Header dialog box appears. Use the Header dialog box to enter your header information. Step 5: Press Tab to move to the Custom Footer button. JFW announces, "Custom Footer Dot Dot Dot Button Alt-U." Activate the Custom Footer button if you want to enter your own information to the footer. When you activate the Custom Footer button, the Footer dialog box appears. Use the Footer dialog box to enter your footer information. Step 6: Press Tab to move to the Footer combo box. JFW announces, "Footer: Combo Box (none)." The Footer combo box contains a list of pre-defined footer elements, such as page numbers, the worksheet name, the workbook name, the date, your name, and your company or organization's name. You may choose a pre-defined element only, choose to customize the footer with your information, or use a combination of pre-defined elements and your information. Note: When you choose a pre-defined footer element, Excel centers the information at the bottom of the printed page. Step 7: Press Tab to move to the OK button. JFW announces, "OK Button." Activate the OK button once you have entered your header and footer information. Step 8: Press Tab to move to the Cancel button. JFW announces, "Cancel Button." Activate the Cancel button when you decide not to add a header or footer or accept a change you have made. >Does anyone know how to setup headers in word 2000 and 2002? > >I need to make a custom header for a new document.
