Hi Robin,

I have the same problem with making the documents in our organisation 
accessible.

I would guess that the document has been protected so that you can only tab 
through the fields.

If you want to send me a copy, I'll be happy to have a look but I'm not a 
Word expert.

Cheers,

Phil Medway.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Editting a Word doc, format problem?


Hi all,

It's difficult to explain what is happening here without maybe someone
on here accepting the document as an attachment off list and looking at
it for themselves.

Basically it's a guide dog monthly report form I need to complete and
return to GDBA Forfar, but Jaws just doesn't read it well at all. It's
in .doc format and tables layout, and tabbing or arrowing through it is
just a nightmare, skipping past questions etc. It is almost impossible
to navigate as you just don't have a consistent idea of your position in
the page.

I have tried it on both here and at home, fiddling around with the view
settings and the only bit of success in reading the thing is if I route
jfw to pc, but then that doesn't help when you need to insert comments
or answers to the questions. I had to save it as a text document, fill
in answers and then re save it back to .doc, but surely I shouldn't have
to faff around like that?

Anyone like to have a look?

Kind regards,
