Debbie,

Do you know how to include a changing page number in a header?  I don't mean 
by using the Insert/Date and time feature, I mean within a header.  Let's 
say you're creating a document of five or so pages about creating headers 
using Jaws.  You want the header to begin on page 2, so, as Judith 
suggested, you go to the beginning of page 2 before beginning your header. 
Now, let's say you want the header to read

Headers-- 2 on this page, header-- 3 on the next, etc.  (Francis, I know you 
don't like the appearance of this style of header, but it's required in 
certain professional areas).  I remember from a few years ago, a few 
versions of Word ago, that you would type the text you wanted, Headers, in 
this case, and the em dash, a space, and then a certain code that told Word 
to insert the current page number.

I don't know how it's done, now, and have a lot of trouble accessing my word 
help with Jaws in Word 2000.  Do you know how this is done, currently?

Thanks.

To add to this header discussion;
I often add auto text to my header like the file name, file and path, and or 
the date created. You can then also press the down arrow and create a 
footer. Auto text has the page number x of y so your numbers show as say 
page 1 of 2. If you add more pages, your footer will adjust accordingly.

  Francis, of course there's more than one way, etc.  I'm just talking the
  most standard.  And I wasn't comparing anything to the toolbar.  I can't 
see
  the toolbar, so that isn't what I was comparing anything to.  but okay, 
I'll
  remember I can just change the view if my C key happens to stick...

  Hi Daniel,

  Yup, you can do Alt C, but I found you can save your work in the header 
and
  exit the header edit area by going to change the view to normal.  I found 
it
  by accident, and it's a lot easier than working with the toolbar. 
However,
  the nice thing about Windows is that there is no one way to get the job
  done.

  Francis
