[blindlaw] Style Questions in Word

Fri Apr 8 02:18:50 UTC 2016

Ah...my fault. I did not know how to do that, but again, Google to the
rescue. Microsoft has good, step-by-step instructions on how to do nearly
anything in the office sweet that you can find by typing simple questions
into Google. I got the following link by searching "creating roman and
Arabic numeral page numbers on the same word doc." 

Here are the instructions. I haven't tried this because I'm pretty busy, but
if it works, this is a cool trick that will be helpful in future brief
writing.  Good Question.

This is helpful; I actually did this accidentally a few days ago. What I
meant to ask was whether you can make certain sections of a document have
regular page numbering and other sections have Roman numeral page numbering.

Just good googling skills.

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 us. 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.

I'm wondering how to do a couple of things. 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?
