[Njtechdiv] accessible formatting of documents

[Mario Brusco]

Trish, Brian or anyone else, a quicker way to make a heading is to 
select the text, press alt+control+1, 2, or 3 for the appropriate 
levels.  be aware that heading level 1 is a bigger size than level 2, 
and level 2 is bigger than level 3.  for level 4 to 9, using 
alt+control+and the level you want will not work, I don't know why.

  making a heading a certain level can also be applied by selecting the 
text, pressing control+shift+s, arrow down or up to the desired styles, 
including heading levels 1 2 or 3, and pressing enter.

I think this is where additional styles can be created or modified, but 
I don't want to mess with it until I find out for sure.

Okay.



If you want to make text a heading level, do the following:

1. Highlight the text

2. Press ALT+H to open the Home tab

3. Press L to open the Styles drop-down menu

4. Press the left or right arrows until you find the style you want
(such as heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, etc.)



My best technique so far in regards to adding ALT text to pictures in
Word is the following:

1. Locate my cursor with my handheld Ruby magnifier

2. Move the cursor to where the picture is located

3. Right click on the picture

4. Arrow up or down until you hear “Format Image” or something along
those lines

5. Press CTRL+TAB until you hear ALT text

6. Press the TAB key once to get into the edit field

7. Type what you want as your ALT text

8. Press the TAB key until you hear “OK” and press ENTER



Someone might have a better suggestion for formatting pictures with ALT
text. Or there might not be a better one until the general release of
JAWS 18.

Dear Trish,



What type of documents are you referring to? Maybe that will help
determine what material to provide.
