[access-uk] Re: MS Word 2002 and Form Fields with JAWS

Hi,

depending on how the form was created, you might try protecting the document from the Tools menu and make sure the "forms" radio button is selected and not "track changes" radio button.
Once protected, and assuming the form was created in the way I create mine from the Forms toolbar, you should then be able to tab through the form and enter the text accordingly.
If the form-designer has really got their act together you'll also hear the relevant question spoken as you tab to the field and you may also have F1 or Status-line help but that depends on the designer.

All the best,

Hi Matty,

Unfortunately, when I tab in the form, it just inserts tabs wherever I am
rather than tabbing between the fields.

Mel,

To fill in templates in word, open up the template, tab to the edit field
and fill in the required information.  Carry on doing this until you tab
out of the last edit field when you will be asked to OK the form.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Regards.

Matty.

Hi All,

I have a form which has been sent to me as an MS word template.  All the
areas that need to be filled in are showing as editing fields.  Does
anyone know, with JAWS, how to get into these fields and out of them, and
also how to navigate between them, using the keyboard?

Any help gratefully received as I have to fill in the form today.

Many thanks

Mel
