You can most definitely create an accessible Word form that can be filled
out by other people while in Word.  They don't have to be on the internet to
work.  What exactly is happening once you've done the form that is keeping
it from working?

Subject: Accessible Forms In Microsoft Word


OK, got another question for you guys.

I am attempting to create an accessible form in microsoft word. I actually
found instructions on how to do this on the 
Freedom Scientific web site. Instructions appear to be very clear and easy
to follow.

My problem seems to be when attempting to fill out the form. I am not sure
how to explain the difficulty. It is not like 
opening an edit field on a web page to fill out. 

May be I am missunderstanding the purpose of creating the forms in microsoft
word. I am assuming that I can create 
them and save them in word. I can then go back and have others fill in the
information using word and JAWS.

A friend doesn't believe that this is the purpose of creating an accessible
form. His thoughts are that you can make it 
acessible in word, but then you need to put it on a web page for others to
access. 

Any thoughts on the subject?

Is there a better way to create an accessible form in word?

I don't always have the ability to connect to the internet to access forms.

Thanks for all the help.

Therese
