Hello Liz,
When you press escape key focus returns to the main document and the header
or footer information that you created is saved. In Word 2007 you can still
use the Alt+V keystroke as if you were pulling up the view menu in an
earlier version of the program and follow that with pressing the letter H.
This will land focus in the headers and footers area. When in that area the
ribbon has an extra tab added to it for designing headers and/or footers.
Press Alt key and you should be on the design page tab. Use tab key to go
to the various tools for designing headers and footers. Each of the tools
on the design tab has an associated sequence of letters that you can use
instead of tabbing to the various choices. For example, to break the link
between a footer on page two with the footer on page one you would press Alt
then J then H then K. The J is for the design tab, the H for header or
footer, and the K for the break link choice. Of course you would need the
cursor to be on the page two footer to force the break with the link to the
page one footer. If you open headers and footers with Alt+V followed by H,
you can add page numbers by pressing Alt followed by J followed by H
followed by N U.
In order to use a lot of the tools on the design tab such as the breaking of
links to previous headers or footers your document needs to be set up in
sections.
Again, Alt+V followed by H puts you in the header and footer area of the
document. Escape moves back to the main document and saves information you
added to the header and footer areas. After using Alt+V followed by H a
design tab is available on the ribbon. Pressing Alt should put focus on the
design tab and then using tab key should move focus across the bottom part
of the design tab where you can find different tools to be used.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to insert a footer using Jaws and Word 2007
Hi all,
I have found where the options is to insert a footer in the menus, and I
hit
Enter for blank footer and then type what I want into the footer, but then
I'm not sure what to do from there. Do I hit Escape? I tried that, and I
am
taken back to the document. How am I suppose to know if the footer
actually
worked? I don't seem to find it anywhere in the document when I read it.
Thanks for any help,
Take care,
Liz
