three different fields for text are inserted with the words [Type text] at the left justified, center, and right justified parts of the header edit area.

The cursor is just to the left of the first field.

6. Press RIGHT ARROW. The first field is now selected. You can verify this by pressing the read current control keystroke, INSERT+TAB.

7. Press RIGHT ARROW to move focus out of the field to the space after it. JAWS says, "out of form field."

8. Next, press RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning of the second [Type text] field, and then select it by pressing RIGHT ARROW again.

9. Press the DEL key to delete this middle text field. The cursor remains in the center of the header, but the field is now gone. JAWS reports, "out of

form field" again.

12. Press C to choose Current Position, and another submenu opens with focus on the first item, Plain Number 1.

13. Press ENTER to select Plain Number 1. The menus close, and the [Type text] field is now replaced with the number one.

                14. Press HOME to move to the beginning of the header area. This also selects the left aligned [Type text] field.

15. Type the following, with the actual running header in all caps. The running header must be 50 characters or less. It is OK to shorten it and have a

longer title for the paper in the center of the page. Type: Running head: TITLE OF PAPER. In my example, I have the following: Running head: READING COMPREHENSION

USING SYNTHESIZED SPEECH

16. If necessary, select the entire line of the header and check the font and size to make sure it matches the body text you are using.

NOTE: As you type text in the left text placeholder, the number on the right side may wrap down to the next line. After you have typed your running head,

press the DEL key to remove any extra spaces and bring the number one back on the same line as the rest of the text. You may need to use the JAWS cursor

to do this, since a Say Line with the PC cursor reads both lines of text in the header.
