<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">I must have missed this change in both screen readers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">When did both screen readers stop reading the list item count in Word and stop identifying when you are in a sub-list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">I know JAWS had a setting to identify sub-lists but I can’t find that setting in JAWS 2026 Utilities setting, text processing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">Even in PDFs, I’m not told I’m in a sub-list which to me, is pretty important in understanding relationships of content.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">If there is a new setting for Word to identify the number of items in a list AND a setting to identify when I’m in a sub-list, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">For PDFs, I’d like to hear the same information if there is a setting for it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">I can’t believe that neither screen reader (both 2026 versions and this is also true for the 2025 versions) don’t give us this information anymore and don’t have a setting for
it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">I also went through the JAWS keyboard commands and can’t find one that announces the number of list items or that you are in a sub-list. In reality, you would have to be able to
see the sub-list to use any keyboard command specific to identifying you are in a sub-list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">Any assistance is appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">Cheers, Karen<o:p></o:p></span></p>
