Hi Brian, Yes, I renamed the normal.dotm template, and also did a repair on Office 365. I tried changing the footer style, but it wouldn't accept a change that way from within the edit field of the style. I was able to change its font size, so changes can be made, though. You guys have given

Hello again Jean, Another thought is that if some of the styles are messed up, they are based on the normal template. You could rename the normal.dotm file and restart Word. The normal.dotm template should be created by Word and this might cause the styles to work correctly. However, you hav

Hi Jean, JAWS should be letting you know that the colors are black on white and not black on black for the footer style. At least with my installation of word the footer style is pretty much the same as the normal style. Being that this has happened when you use JAWS 17 and JAWS 18, it would

Thanks, Mike. The ribbons appear to be maximized. I hear the option to collapse them, so they must be okay. Good thought, though. Thanks. -Original Message- From: Mike B. Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2016 5:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17, Wor

Hi Jean, Make sure the ribbons are maximized. To navigate ribbons more efficiently the ribbons need to be maximized. The keystroke is, control + F1. This keystroke is a toggle so, this keystroke will maximize & minimize. To check if the ribbons are minimized / maximized do the following: 1. Pre

Hi all, Some small progress. I have found that if the Jaws virtual ribbon is enabled, I can't access any of the Footer ribbons. So, with it off, I can at least tab through the design choices, finding the areas for unlinking, etc. But I still can't read any of the entered text until I exit the

Hi Brian, Excellent description, and I know that's how it should work. But no matter what I do, I can't read any of the text I'm entering, have entered, or am wanting to edit. Insert-F tells me the footer style text is black on black. That shouldn't matter, I don't think. I didn't import any

Hello, Here is some additional information on creating footers. I am using Word 2013 but I don't think the steps vary much from 2016. Instead of using the dialog box you might want to use the options in the header and footer group of the insert menu and under the design tab which is added as
