Dear JAWS Users, In Microsoft Word 2013, the "apply styles" combo box used to complete the name of the style you entered, and allow navigation through the list of styles by using up/down arrow keys after typing a partial or complete style name.
Now in Word 2016, typing the initial letters of the name is enough to complete it automatically, but arrow keys aren't showing me other styles in the list of available styles. The braille output under JAWS 17 shows the completed style name after the first few letters are typed, but there's no speech output - a problem for those working primarily with speech (I'm not such a person, but I'm noting it for those who are). Has anyone else been running into problems with the "apply style" pane in Word 2016 - Ctrl+Shift+S? There's another style pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) that at least gives a list of styles available in the document. Comments are welcome. After this and another frustration, I'm glad I write my documents in something other than a word processor. The other problem was as follows. Suppose you select the first several words as a paragraph, then use Alt+Ctrl+1 to convert them into an in-line heading; you're effectively applying the Heading 1 character style. Next, create a table of contents for the document. According to my Web search, it's supposed to be possible to exclude certain styles from the headings used to create the table of contents - in this case the Heading 1 character styles - but I can't find the right control under the table of contents options. In other words, I wanted a plain Heading 1 style to be included in the TOC, but not the Heading 1 character style. If you know how to do this, enlightenment is welcome.
