Some Questions About Dealing With Tables, and lists In Word 2016 and Jaws 2020
Owais Patel
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 |
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!
