Level headings not being announced in Word after Level Heading 3

Zel Iscel #103550 Hi listers, I am currently using Windows 10 with Jaws 19 and Office 365. JAWS currently announces level headings 1, 2 and 3 in Word but not levels 4, 5 and 6. I'm sure it used to announce those levels too. After I set the level heading to 4, 5 or 6 through the styles menu by pressing Shift + control + s, JAWS doesn't announce the level heading when I read the text. It does when I first create it but never afterwards. When I check the font by pressing insert +f it announces "head 4" among other things but I would prefer that it announces the levels the way it does for headings 1, 2 and 3. The other annoying thing is that when I set a level heading, Windows automatically inserts level numbering - 1.1.1.1 etc. Is anyone else having this issue? Cheers Zel

Curtis Chong #103557 Hello Zel: This is, alas, not my experience with headings. I think I am running the same combination of software as you are. Heading levels 4 and 5 do get recognized and spoken as I move down my document with JAWS. Heading levels 1 through 3 can be applied simply by pressing Control With Alt and the corresponding number. When I am on the paragraph line where I want Heading 4 to be applied, I press Control Shift s, arrow down to heading 4, and press Enter.

Zel Iscel #103560 Hi Curtis, Thank you for your response. I resolved the issue. I think that the company I work for has specified certain styles. I was able to override that by going into the styles menu through the home ribbon, and there was able to choose the level headings I required.

Mike B. #103602 I don't know if this will help but, in Options / Accessibility, the last setting in this tab is a setting that can be turned on / off, and it's to expand all headings when opening a document. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Note from a creditor: Dear Sir, Your account has been on our books for over a year.
