MessageHi Tim.

Thanks for this. No They're not forms. They are content controles. The 
templates I'm talking about are ones I've downloaded from the microsoft 
website. They are for flyers. the idea is that they are already designed and 
all you do is to put in your information. The formatting and overall style of 
the template is retained.

Damien.

  Hi Damien,

  Does  the word template contain  a form?

  If so,  it really  depends on how  the form was created.  There are 
guidelines for   creating  accessible   word forms.

  I would suggest  looking  at   the   microsoft word  section  in the  jaws 
online help.  Specifically look at  the  helpful hints for word section,  where 
you will find info  on navigating  word forms.

  Tim

    Hello everyone.

    I wonder if anyone can help. I've sent this query to the jaws light user 
group and had no response so thought I'd try vics members. Please accept my 
apologies if this isn't the kind of thing vics Ireland is for but, I'm getting 
desperate.

    This isn't really a specific question, so, I apologise in advance if I'm 
sounding vague. 

    I'm currently working through a desktop publishing module on my computer 
course and am trying to use JAWS 8 with templates downloaded from the Microsoft
    website into ms word 2007. Once downloaded in order to enter information I 
have to click into place views on each template. and then enter specific 
information.
    However, Jaws doesn't read the downloaded template and I can't seem to 
access the areas of the template that require information. Has anyone had any 
experience
    of using jaws and templates downloaded from the Microsoft website and if 
so, can anyone advise me on the best way forward. 

    Thanks in advance. 

    Damien O'Connor.
