Hi Lissi. Are you using JAWS 10? If so, you are having this problem
because
by default, JAWS now automatically places you into forms mode when it
reaches a field that can be edited.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] jaws forms mode
Dear Booksharian Friends,
Does anyone know a command for telling JAWS to enter forms mode besides
pressing enter which is the way I learned to do it?
The last two times I checked in books, when I was on page three of the
form
in the title field to delete save for lissi, I pressed enter which
usually
causes JAWS to say, "form field on." Instead, I hear percentages as the
form
is entered and is being processed for Bookshare. The next thing I'm back
at
my checked out books. I haven't had a chance to delete the save for,
enter
my brief or long synopses or edit the meta data on that page in any way.
Carrie bailed me out the first time this happened, but I would like to
check
in books without needing extra help.
I've heard there's another way to enter forms mode and I hope if I use
it,
I'll be able to complete page three and check in books correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
By the way, I'll be adding some books in honor of Saint Patrick's Day and
my
Irish heritage. Today's book is Folktales of Yeats Country, only 96
pages.
It includes 17 tales, very brief but meticulously authentic and told for
adults. The longest story, told in 7 parts, features a character,
prominent
for many centuries in Irish folklore, named Conn, which was my mother's
maiden name.
The next book, which Evan scanned, is for kids, Jeremy Bean's St.
Patrick's
Day. After that, Tales of St. Patrick, 124 pages long, St. Patrick's Day
Shamrocks, and The Leprechaun's Story are coming. Then, there will be
Hungry
for home, the sad story of the Irish Island of Blaskett, and Kaddish in
Dublin, a mystery.
After BSO ing a Tolkien Biography for young readers, Evan will be
scanning a
stack of Easter books I sent him. And I even found a book for April
Fool's
Day.
I really wish the library didn't sell off its books, but if it must be
so,
then I appreciate the chance to buy them up for Bookshare.
Always with love,
Lissi
