Hello Bill, I think you are confusing headers and headings. The Alt N H key sequence is for a header, which appears in the top margin of pages. A heading in Word is a built-in style. A style contains a specific font, font size, font color, character spacing and other specific attributes. You can insert the heading 1 style by using Alt+CTRL+1. Insert heading 2 style by using Alt+CTRL+2, and insert heading 3 style by using Alt+CTRL+3. You can check what attributes are used by the heading by using JAWS key with f when focus is on a line using that style. You can insert other styles by using CTRL+Shift+s, which will present a list of styles. Once in the list of styles you can use up or down arrow keys to pick a style and press enter on it or you can for example press t, use down arrow key one time to get the title style, and then press enter key.
Generally, when you use a keystroke to use a heading and type the heading information, the enter key will return you to the normal style. If you want the style to continue on subsequent lines then use Shift+Enter at the end of lines instead of just the enter key. The style will continue on a subsequent line if the text wraps to that line on its own and you don't use the enter key. Also, you can select a line of text and then use the keystroke for the heading level you want used and that style will apply to your selected text. Take care.
