[humanser] Question about Word for long forms

Sun Feb 19 23:49:17 UTC 2017

I have used the file menu but not F12. I'm not sure what F12 does but I 
will figure it out.

Can anyone give me a quick lesson on how to add JAWS headings in a document?

Thanks.

By the way, I often encounter irrelevant things when I try to use the 
JAWS Find in a Word document. In later versions of JAWS, you can 
eliminate these unwanted things (such as document width and length) by 
using insert-z. That turns off the virtual cursor which, I guess, is 
turned on and shouldn't be. This works in later versions of JAWS -- I 
know Version 17 makes use of this command. In many cases, you can go 
directly to the text you want to find by using Insert-z after the find 
command.
