Hi, Jean. I notice that no MS Word 2016 user has responded. As a 2010 user, where I know footers worked fine for you, I can offer only the suggestion that you type the text you want to appear in the footer in a separate document and paste it into the footer field. Hardly elegant, but it might be a workaround.

I want to create documents with page footers. Each page needs its own unique footer. I know how to get to the footer dialogue, but Jaws doesn’t read any of the text in the dialogue as I type or as it appears. Outside of the dialogue, I can use insert F1 to hear document info, but this is a tedious way to check footers, and doesn’t allow for editing, etc. Is there a solution for this? It used to work in previous versions of Word and Jaws.
