[Blindtlk] A Question about JAWS

[Szostak, Christine]

I have to say that there were some serious pluses to old versions of JAWS (I think 9 or 10 and below) that were for some odd reason removed and made much worse (i.e., the headings issue:)). Thanks for the suggestion!
Have a great weekend,
Chris

As far as I know, this can only be remedied by hitting the letter H, which will scroll through by headings of any level.this is unfortunate, as I, too, enjoy the navigation by heading level, but feel it is annoying with jaws.

However, if you first hit 1, and then 2 you would hear the heading for the first level2 heading since it is now the highest heading after the level 1 heading in the example above. Then when you get to the next level 1, JAWS again claims that there are "no more headings at level 2" and you have to repeat the process above.
