If you have a header on the first or second page that is repeated throughout the document how do you get rid of it if that is your choice? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Lu Thomas" <thomasm@xxxxxxxx>

As a professional Microsoft Word trainer who wants to utilize JAWS to help teach our library patrons to use Word, I have been following this discussion with great interest. I have not written before about Word because I am a real beginner at JAWS. Therefore, I know the ins and outs of Word, but not the JAWS keys to press for them. That being said, headers and footers, including those for page numbering, are, by default, repeated on every page of a document unless there is a section break. Many times people don't want the page number to show on the first page. The way to eliminate that is to specify Different First Page" in the Page Setup menu.

By default, this option is not activated, and so the header repeats on every page.

Word has a table of contents function that will bring all headings into the table automatically. I have never used it, but I assume it has formatting built into the function. There is also a create tables function. It will create tables with equally spaced columns of different widths depending on how many columns you want. It will also let you set different widths if, say, you wanted a wider left column to allow for a longer row title. To addd rows to a table, place the cursor at the right end of the bottom right cell and hit tab. A table title is easiest placed outside the table and can be centered as any other text can be.

Header is probably the easiest thing. Go to the view menu, and arrow down to header and footer and press enter. this should put you in the header/footer pane, where you would enter your header information. If you press insert-f, Jaws should give you a lot of information about font and such, including the words 'header style'. Maybe. depending on your version of JAWS. You format a header the way you would do text, centering, bolding and so on. If you down arrow a couple of times you will be in the footer pane, be aware. When you are finished with the header go back to the view menu and choose normal so the pane goes away. Once you are no longer in pane (sorry about that), you can read the header with insert-f1, or in print preview with the JAWS cursor.
