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
