[nabs-l] Starting Page Numbering after Title Page and Enabling Different Headers within a Word Document Using JAWS

[justin williams]

Areyou trying to do heders; do you just want the numbers to appear in the
header?  Do you also want the first page to be different?

Subject: [nabs-l] Starting Page Numbering after Title Page and Enabling
Different Headers within a Word Document Using JAWS

Hi,
I've been having a hard time figuring out how to get page numbering to start
after the first page, such as after a title page and an abstract.  I read
something online that talked about adding sections and then inserting
pagenation for each section, but once I added the section/break and inserted
page numbers, it also inserted page numbers on the title page, and I don't
want that.  When I delete that page number, however, it gets rid of the rest
of the numbering as well.
Any suggestions?

Also, does anyone know how to ensure that the text in the header on the
title page can be different from the text in the headers in the rest of the
document?  Here's what I found in my workbook for Learning Word 2013 Using
JAWS:

* A header or footer cannot be edited when focus is in the document.
In order to make changes to the header, you must return focus to the header.
Press ALT + N, then H, E.
* To customize this document so that the header on the first page contains
different text than the rest of the document, press ALT + J, then H, A. Your
cursor now appears in an empty header ready for the new text for the first
page.
* Press CTRL + HOME then use SayAll to confirm that the header is empty. Be
aware that the text of the previously typed header has been saved and will
be applied to the second and all additional pages.

The problem is that when I press Alt-J, H, then A, nothing happens and I
stay stuck within the Design tab.  Any thoughts suggestions?

Thanks for any help! Oh, and I am using Word 2013 and JAWS 16.

Sarah
