Don't forget the use of insert f5. This presents you with an overview of
all the form fields on the page and their associated labels.

Hi all;
Different forms read differently depending on how and in what application
the form was created.
Usually, when I have to fill out a form, I read through it either by
continuous reading or by using line by line, first. This way I have an idea
what will be asked and sometimes I realize that I am missing field names
once I go into forms mode. Also, there may be text instructions missed if
only relying on turning on forms mode and tabbing through the fields.
I have created forms through MS Word where you could turn on forms mode and
tab through and fill out the form. But not all forms are made in MS Word.
So, still the only solution for those types of forms is to use Aidrions
method of turning on and off forms mode.

In these cases you need to be willing to go in and out of forms mode.
Actually, I never rely on what JAWS reads as I go through a form in forms
mode. Sometimes the wrong message is read for the current entry field. You
leave forms mode by pressing the numpad plus button and return by pressing
enter on the field where you're about to enter data.

hello list.
some forms i have come across are easier to fill out than others.
a lot of forms will tell you what part you are filling out, i.e the
first edit box might be your name and the second your e mail address.
on the other hand some forms are a pain.
i recently came across one that i couldn't fill out because i didn't
know what edit box i was on.
even a say line jaws keystroke didn't tell me what edit box i was on it
just said edit.
my question is this.
is there a keystroke that i can perform to get jaws to tell me what edit
box i am on or is there any other way i can find out?
also while in forms mode how do i get out of it?
all help appreciated.
stephen
