George from the Accessibility Corner explains how to use headings in a document or email to improve navigation. He demonstrates by inserting headings for the titles of the ADA and shows how to navigate through them using quick keys. He also explains how to navigate through links using the letter V. George advises turning off quick keys when editing and typing. He concludes by emphasizing the usefulness of these techniques for work or school. Hello, this is George with the Accessibility Corner. So today I'm going to show you how to use headings within a document and email to better navigate that particular thing you're doing. And hopefully this makes sense. So we're going to pretend that we're doing a class on the ADA. I have a document open here, so it is Word, and it has the five titles of the ADA. And we're going to insert headings to navigate this document. Okay, so we're at the top of the document. I'm going to arrow up. And then I'm going to arrow down to the first title. Okay, and then we're going to insert the heading, alt, control, one, and then arrow down and arrow back up to see if it gets that. Yep, you heard where it says heading. So I'm going to do the first three headings or first three titles with headings, and then we'll go back to see how demonstrating the headings navigation is easy. Okay, so I did number three, title three. So right now title one, title two, and title three have headings. I didn't do four or five because, you know, I didn't want to overdo it. But again, go back to the scenario that we're taking a note or taking a class regarding the ADA, and we want to quickly navigate between the different titles. So remember one, two, and three already have headings. So I'm just going to do that. But before we do that, after you put the headings, make sure that you turn on what's called the quick keys, and that's by doing insert Z. Quick keys on. You heard where it said quick keys on? That's what you want to hear. So now that will enable me to navigate this document using headings. Let's just do a website, the letter H. Let's go ahead and try that. Heading one, title IM-employment. Heading one, title two, M-public entities left fare and then public transportation right fare. Heading one, title three, M-public accommodation. So you heard one, two, and three just by hitting the letter H, which is pretty neat, right? Quickly navigate. Now let's say you're going too fast. You want to get to two, but you're at three, title three. No problem. Just hit shift H, and that will take you back to the second heading, which is title two. Let's go ahead and do that now. Heading one, title two, M-public entity left. I just heard, you heard, it said title two, so we went back to the heading that we skipped. Now let's say you want to just navigate your notes, that's fine, just arrow down. Left. Title two of the ADA, discriminated against and activities. See? Like a normal document, you know. But if you want to add text or edit, make sure you turn off the quick keys off. Remember, insert Z. Quick keys off. Turns it off. Now if I type, it will type. Let me show you. H. I did do that. So that's fine. So turn the quick keys nav on if you want to navigate with insert Z. Quick keys on. Now it's turned on. Now, finally, I want to show you this also includes links. So let's say you have a link on your document you need to open pretty quick. Hit the letter V like in Victor. It'll go to your first link. Again, the same way that it does for headers. Shift V will go back to the previous link. I'm going to go ahead and hit the letter V right now. V like in Victor. Page two. Link www.ada.ca. See? It went straight to my link. So I hope this helps in better navigating your notes, you know, for work or school. And this is George with the Accessibility Corner.
