Hi Rich:

You *should* be able to go to the "Text Attributes" tab of the Orca 
preferences GUI and edit the 'paragraph-style' row in the table.  I 
tried this, however, and it may be broken.  I opened a bug on that here, 
which includes comments about presenting this information with Insert+f, 
WhereAmI, SayAll, and navigating by caret:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577245

For the row/column headings information, I think I remember someone 
answering your question, but the short answer is:

1) Insert+r to set the current row as the row containing headers. 
Pressing Insert+r twice quickly clears it.

2) Insert+c to set the current column as the column containing headers. 
 Pressing Insert+c twice quickly clears it.
