I've never seen this kind of form, but if you'd like to send it to me,
I'll have a look at it. Usually with Word forms, you can tab between
the fields, and you can only type into the fields (assuming the
"protected" button has been pushed, on the forms toolbar, for that
form).
If it helps, RTF isn't exclusively a word format; you can open it with
wordpad if it works any better for you, it's just that word has made
itself the default application for rtf files.

Subject: JFW + Word 2003
I have a generic employment application that I downloaded from a
Department of Labor website. It is in Word but in rich text format
rather than document format.
In order to fill out the form, I do the following:
1. Find the field title and right arrow until I hear JAWS say
"blank".
2. Press Shift+F10 to open the "context menu".
3. Press "R" to open the "properties" or text form "field
options" dialog.
The focus defaults to "default text" where I can type in the
necessary information. I have discovered that this method is not
foolproof. Sometimes I am outside the box into which the information is
to be entered. Is there a way one can be assured they are in the right
place before doing any editing?
I am using JAWS 9....
Thanks in advance.
