Ann's approach is likely better and more durable, but there is another way. Put your cursor in the row where you want columns to be read. Then press JAWS Key plus V. In the search box, type "title." Then arrow down to the options. First be sure to set "override bookmark title reading" to "on." I know that sounds counterintuitive, but this is telling you to use this method of reading headings, not Ann's method. Next be sure column reading (at least) is turned on. It is probably off by default. Then select the option where you want your headings to be read. JAWS will pick this up automatically, but be sure you are in the right row when you turn this on. Tab to OK, and your headings will be read as you use the cell reading command in Word -- control plus alt plus arrow keys. This actually works better in Word than it does in Excel. The same options are available in Excel.

Cc: Ann Byrne Subject: Re: Reading Headers In Word Word 2007 and above? 1. If you want just column titles spoken, place the cursor in the row with the headers. 2. Press alt-n then k (insert bookmark), tab to 'add' and press enter. 3. Name the bookmark columntitle and press enter. 4. If you want just row titles spoken, pklace the cursor in the column with the row titles. 5. Press alt-n then k (insert bookmark); tab to add and press enter. 6. Name the bookmark rowtitle and press enter. 7. If you want both column and row titles spoken, place the cursor at the point where they intersect. 8. Press alt-n then k (insert bookmark); tab to add and press enter. 9. Name the bookmark title and press enter. 10. Arrow to a place where JAWS should speak the titles. when it doesn't, press alt-tab away from the table and alt-tab back again and it probably will. If you have more than one table in a document and want headers spoken for them all, you have to add something to distinguish between them--columntitle2, rowtitle3, for example. The bookmark setting is a Word feature, but the interpretation is JAWS.
