May I ask how come Guide Dogs sends inaccessible files to blind people?
Has no one tested them before?
Is there no blind person to do that?
Have a nice evening,

Why not just word process your answers to the questions and email it off to** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
Guide Dogs. They can then put it in a table if it's so important to do this.

Hi Andy,
I work for Guide Dogs, so I took the liberty of finding out about this
form.
It uses text boxes, which it shouldn't. We've asked them to change the
form for future use, and I can send you a copy of the form we've asked
them to use if it would make your life easier. It doesn't have the
personal information you mention because the assistive team at Guide Dogs
don't have access to that, but I assume you could transfer that from the
document you have already received. Answering the questions would then be
easier for you.
Just for information, there is a way for JAWS users to work on text boxes,
but it's not elegant. Press Ctrl + Shift + O and you'll get a list of
them; press Enter twice on one to type into it, and press Escape twice
when you've finished and what to return to the main document. There is no
way of knowing which text box is associated with which question, but as
there are six questions and six text boxes, you can guess.
Hope that helps,
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Completing a report form for Guide Dogs
Hi all.
I've just got a lovely new Guide Dog and they wish me to complete a form
for the next six months at monthly intervals.
The Guide Dogs have sent me the form and when I open it, with Win 17 and
JAWS, I'm in a table.
As I press the Tab key, I find that all the fields are already completed
with my name, my dogs name, registration date etc.
However at the bottom of this table, I need to use the down arrow to
complete the detail of Josh's work, over the month.
JAWS lets me know that I'm in a box area, but if I start typing, I seem to
be typing in front of the box title.
I think I need first to enter the box so that I can insert text, but don't
know how to do this.
Any advice would be very appriciated as my first report should have been
sent three weeks ago.
Thanks in advance.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
From Scotland with Love.
