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.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17, Word 2016 and footers

I’m using Word 2016 and Jaws 17.0.2619. 

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. 

Jean
