Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Using Libre office with the Jaws screen Reader

Chantal,

For heading styles you can press control 1 for a level 1 heading, 
control-2 for a level 2 heading, etc. You can do this for heading levels 
up to 5.

When you read the line of text with the new heading JAWS will verify 
your change by announcing the heading level before the line of text, 
just as it does for Web pages. As an example, if the line of text 
contains a level 1 heading and contains the text "hello" you would hear, 
"heading level 1, hello."

For some reason pressing insert-F to speak the font and formatting 
dialog does not correctly identify the correct heading level. I will 
alert Vispero about this bug.

Opening and saving documents is similar to other text editors. Ctrl-O 
can be used to open files, ctrl-S for saving, etc. Let me know if you 
need specific help with this.
