Hi all,

I've been working on a long document in word 2016. the document is 
broken up into sections and subsections, so whenever I get to one of the 
section titles, I highlight the title and use alt+ctrl+1, alt+ctrl+2, or 
alt+ctrl+3 to turn the title into a heading level 1, 2, or 3, which is 
what I use to build and update the table of contents. Everything has 
been working fine until this weekend.

Suddenly, when I highlight the title and press alt+ctrl+1 (or whatever), 
Jaws would announce, "Subscript 1 (or whatever)." At first, I thought 
Jaws was simply misreporting because, when I would arrow to the title 
and press ins+f for font information, Jaws would report the same font 
information as for other headings, but when I updated the table of 
contents, the heading wasn't listed, and when I restarted Word and 
opened the document, I'd hear, "Subscript 1 (or whatever)," instead of 
the section title.

the good part is that the behavior wasn't at all consistent. Most of the 
time, pressing alt+ctrl+# created a heading at the right level, but once 
the superscript behavior started, the only way to correct it was to 
restart Word.

Has anyone experienced this? I suspect I'm doing something to trigger 
the superscript behavior, like flubbing a screen reader command that is 
similar to the superscript command, so I'm investigating on the web, but 
I thought I'd post here in case anyone has beat me to the solution.

I'm running Jaws 17, Windows 10, and Word 2016.

Ciao
