[blindlaw] Style Questions in Word

Wed Apr 6 21:23:02 UTC 2016

I dont think extensive training is needed to figure out how to use Word. Just good googling skills. 

Yes, you can do roman and arabic numerals. If you type a capital letter in word at the beginning of a line, then a period, then the space bar, that line of text becomes an outline-style heading. Then put your curser at the beginning of that line. You will notice the capital roman or arabic numeral you typed is no longer a part of the line of text jaws will read if you go character by character,  though the numeral will still be read if you go line by line. Press the left arrow key once, which will highlight the roman/arabic numeral, hit applications, and type the letter u. Hit enter, and youre in the adjust list indents menu. You can easily check and control the indentation of your roman/arabic numerals and the text that comes after them from there. you can do all your point headings this way.

First, how do you manage page numbers in Word generally? I can't find much about how to do this, or how to adjust header and footers with JAWS. Second, is there a way to have roman numeral numbers in the first section of a document with Arabic numerals in the second? If so, how do you do this with JAWS?
