Dear Marie, You might try the key-stroke shift plus control plus n which removes all formating. This will remove automatic numbering/letters for the paragraph the editing cursor is in without removing the lot. It will also remove other formating such as centring, underlining etc. for that paragraph. It might also change numbering/lettering in the paragraphs after the one you have applied it to. So, if you have paragraphs 1 to 5 and you remove the numbering on paragraph numbered 4, the paragraph previously numbered 5 will change to 4. Another way you can delete/change individual paragraph letters or numbers (although I've a feeling this only works in versions of Word from 2002 onwards) is by going to the line on which the letter or number appears and pressing the home key twice. Jaws should speak the number/letter concerned because it should then be highlighted. At this point you press delete to remove the numberor type the letter/number you want to replace it with. Best wishes Robert Portal -----Messaggio originale----- Da: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Per conto di Marie BAISEZ Inviato: lunedì 19 febbraio 2007 12.15 A: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Oggetto: [jaws-uk] Deleting with jfw in Word I am trying to write a document with several sections and sub-sections. I was first surprised then annoyed when Word put numbers and letters for me every time I changed line. With help from someone on the access list, I managed to turn off the automatic numbering off. Now, I've come back to my document to edit it and get rid of the letters and numbers I do not want and find that I cannot delete them Jfw reads them, I can see them on the braille display but when I place the cursor on them, the next character gets deleted, not the number of letter placed automatically by Word I want to get rid of. The window is maximized of course. What's going on? Does this mean those letters and numbers are graphics? Do I have to retype the entire document? Can someone explain please? I'm puzzled.
