[Athen] Table headings in GoogleDocs?

[Russell Solowoniuk]

Hi Susan,

As others have already mentioned, Google Docs seems to only be able to have the first row and first column of a table as headers,.

The following keystrokes may help your student access the information in these headers if she/he has a table with headers in the first row or column. I find that these shortcut keys don't always work as they should, but worth a try.

Speak the table column and row header  
holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, press T then H

Speak the table row header
holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, press T then R

Speak the table column header
holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, press T then C

Here is a site with a lot of keyboard shortcuts for Google Docs...

Hope this helps,

Russell

I had a blind student ask about this today, and I looked and don't see anything obvious.  Is there a way to mark table headings in a Google Docs table?
