Hi Kevin,
I had a brief look using Jaws 12 and Word 2003.
Have you turned on the Forms Toolbar? If not, you could try doing this by
going to "View", "Toolbars" and scroll down to the toolbar called "Forms".
What I found is that, if I went to the top of the document and pressed the
Tab key repeatedly, Jaws then jumped reasonably well through the various
form fields announcing what was to be filled in.
I think there is one edit box near the end which didn't speak properly and
then, just after the check box, I tended to get an error message to do with
macros being disabled or something like that. My wife tells me that I had
managed to enter the details in the correct place though which I guess is
the important thing from your perspective.
Hope this helps.
Jamie

Subject: [jaws-uk] ACCESSIBILITY OF FORM USING JAWS 11 ON WINDOWS XP DESKTOP
Hi all,
I'm having problems accessing the attached form which I need for work.
This is in word format as the previous version (on our internal
intranet) was inaccessible. I'm experiencing difficulties with macros
and, in addition on tabbing around the form (or cursoring) Jaws is not
picking up the titles of rows, columns etc.
Is anyone else able to navigate it successfuly please? Any suggestions
on how my IT department can increase its accessibility.
I'll send the intranet copy separately.
Thanks,
Kevin
