Hi Lissi. Try this. Go to the utilities menu in JAWS, then to the
configuration manager. Go to the set options menu, HTML options, and then to
the misc tab. See if the auto forms off box is checked. If not, check it. If
it is already checked, then I'm really not sure what to do since it seems
that it should automatically be off when you move to a new page. Maybe the
only other alternative is to double-check before pressing enter to see if it
is somehow keeping itself turned on. Hope this helps.

Dear Jackie and Alyssa,
I'm using JAWS 9.0. I have the disk for 10.0 but I'm afraid to install it
because If I make some mistake, considering my computer track record, I'll
break it and then dig myself in deeper and do bigger and bigger damage. And,
I've had 10.0 for so long, it's buried under books and I'd have to do some
serious excavation to find it.
Always with love,
Lissi
I'm using JAWS 9.0
