Hi Eric,
The Word form your in is not like a browser form; you don't need to go
into some weird forms mode, and then exit the forms mode like you do
with html (internet explorer) forms.
These are more or less ordinary editboxes, however, what enter does
depends on the person who created the form. If you're in an editbox
that is meant to hold multiple lines of data (such as an address box),
then edit just moves you down to the next line in the editbox. Other
editboxes however can be setup to only hold a single line of data (such
as a name), and then edit moves you on to the next field in that case.
hth,
Chip

Hi Chip.
I maximized the screen and that helped a bit.
Part of the problem might not be Jaws, but my unfamiliarity with
Jaws and
This particular type of editing.
Should I just be able to type within the edit field?
When deleting the row, Jaws spoke sporadically as I was deleting
character by character.
Will hitting enter stop the editing or take me to the next line.
Jaws did not indicate either.
Thank you very much.
Eric.

Hi Eric,
Could you download the jaws 9 demo and try it out? I can't
think of any reason you should have this kind of difficulty, so I was
wondering if this is a bug they've fixed. Having you try jaws 9 is the
only way, unless someone here can confirm that 7 had such a bug, that I
can think of.
Did you check to make sure the Word windows was maximized?
Chip

Someone has sent me a Word document that contains
tables.
There are drop down boxes and edit fields within the
tables.
I have figured out using Jaws how to set the drop down
boxes.
I am not able to figure out how to use the edit fields.
When I hit enter and start typing, the text seems to go
in.
If I want to add something later, Jaws cannot see the
original text I typed in earlier.
I also cannot seem to add anything and find the original
text.
Any help in using edit fields in a Word table would be
most appreciated.
I am using Jaws 7 and Word 2003.
Thanks.
Eric.
