Catherine,

Have you tried using insert F when over the text to see what the formatting is?

Subject: [access-uk] JAWS and headings in Word


Hello,

Can anyone tell me how I create a heading in Word 2003?  What I mean
is, I'm aware that sighted people can use the toolbar somewhere to
format text as a heading.  If they do this, as opposed to just making
the font bigger and bold, for example, JAWS will recognise said text
as a heading.  I am working on a document which must be formatted in a
particular way according to someone else's template.  So I think I
should format headings as "headings" for the required formatting to
take effect.

I selected the text and went into Format/paragraph.  Then chose
outline level level 1 from the combobox there.  But I am suspicious
this hasn't worked properly.  Because, though JAWS says "heading level
1" when I arrow to the text, it doesn't bring it up as a headingp when
I do JAWS key f6.  In other documents JAWS displays lists of headings
in this way so this makes me think somehow my text isn't properly a
heading, and maybe this means I haven't altered the formatting at all
even though I chose it to be outline level 1.

Can anyone help?

Catherine
