You go to the view menu, then to the toolbars submenu and then make sure forms is checked. Now press alt and press control+tab until you hear jaws say something about forms, that means you are on the forms toolbar. Now tab until you get a button that says protect or unprotect.

The questions are formatted in such a way that they are protected by the author, and there is a grayed area where the answers can be written. JAWS won't read these documents. All I can get JAWS to say is "Type your answer here." The JAWS curser will read part of the questions, but I can't match the questions with the correct grayed area. I've tried changing the view menu, going into the properties and tweaking a couple of things, but nothing helps. Can someone offer some advice? Thanks.
