Re: Some Questions About Dealing With Tables, and lists In Word 2016 and Jaws 2020


 

Owais,

Tables can be created in the Table section of the Insert ribbon. Press
Alt, then N, then T. It should be easy to tab around the dialogue box
to set the number of rows and columns. I believe that if you need to
add more later, you can go to the Context menu while your cursor is
within the table, with Shift Plus F10.
If you explore that Table group, there may be further controls to
answer a couple of your other questions. As for alignment, I believe
the table sould be the same alignment as the rest of the document.

One easy workaround for copying the table, if you know you will need
it more than once, is to create it in a different document, as the
only content in that document. For a table within a document, you
might be able to try Shift Plus Control Plus Down Arrow, with the
table being a whole paragraph.

As for lists, you can create a bulleted list with the shortcut Control
Plus Shift Plus L. If you need to use a different kind of bullet, you
can instead make a list in the Bullets section of the Paragraph
dialogue box in the Context Menu. If you need to end the list you can
press Control Plus Shift Plus N.
With JAWS 2020 in Word 2016 or later, JAWS will say "Level 1" when
theh list begins, and "Levl 0" wen it ends. Even without tis, screen
readers will say "Bullet" when beginning to read a line with a bullet,
or when the cursor is right on the bullet.

I hope this helps!

Good morning everyone. My name is Owais, and I have some questions regarding
tables in any apps, particularly, Word 2016.
1. How do I add a table, and from there add more rows and collumns to it?
2. Should tables be left justified, centered, or, right justified on a page?
3. What are the steps to adding a tittle for each cell? To clarify, some
tables have a cell above the one under it which indicates the informwhn that
needs to be entered in the cell bel? How do I do th?
4. How can I copy the entire table including the text it contains all at
once?
Lists:
1. What are the steps to inserting a bulleted list in my document, so that
screen readers like Voiceover, Jaws etc will indicate when a list begins or
ends?
Thank you very much and have an awesome day.
Sincerely, Owais
