Hi Tom, When positioned on the ttext of the heading, press the JAWS key plus F. This should read the font information. Hopefully it will give you a heading level (heading 1 or heading 2 or something like that). It should also give you a font style: Bold or Italic. In the Configuration Manager, under the Alias Voices, there are Heading levels that can be changed. Experiment with the pitch and different voice options. In the Speech & sounds Manager, put your setting back to Classic. There are lots of places to change voice tones within these options, that will surely drive you crazy.

When in excel, I mark a row for column headers. When jaws reads these headers it reads them in a different voice, an extremely annoying voice, I find endlessly distracting. I have been playing with the sound and voices manager as well as the voice alias manager with no joy. Has any one have any idea how I can change this behavior. I can understand FS setting this as default but I must beable to change it someware. I would appreciate any suggestions or resolutions.
