it.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:rgb(31,56,100)">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
