Gary,
that's very thoughtful. I'll keep your careful strategy in mind, if
anything should go wrong that seems to be related to this. Although, so far
as I'm aware, the Web is the only environment where I've encountered forms
fields needing input, or this problem of their labeling not being visible to
Jaws in Forms Mode. come to think of it, I don't think I need have switched
to the default.jcf file before making the changes; that just shows how
obediently I follow the instruction I got from Jaws sources in my earliest
tutorials, without thinking through to the exceptions.
So, point well taken. thanks for explaining.

Yardbird,
When I pointed out this setting, I didn't mention the Configuration Manager
or the Verbosity settings there. I was referring to the Verbosity Menu
accessed with Insert+v. I don't know if there is a downside to making this
setting universal or not, and this is why I try it out in the Verbosity Menu
first. If it works well on a site I visit regularly, I can use
Shift+Insert+v to make the setting permanent for that Web site. I also do
this with Flash since some sites will not give me any information with Flash
disabled universally in the Configuration Manager.
