Hi Gary,
Ah, OK! JAWS 16 would have been released in 2014, if my maths is correct, so
probably doesn't officially support Office 2016. That said, clearly most of it
is working just fine, so you might just be able to deal with the text box
problem if it doesn't occur very often. It's probably down to a Microsoft
change and a later version of JAWS would have fixed it, so I'm afraid, unless
anyone else has any ideas, it looks like you might either have to downgrade
your Office or upgrade your JAWS.
Sorry not to be of any more help,
Matthew

Hi Gary,
Not sure what's going on here, but are you per chance using JAWS 2019? There
was some serious work done under the hood with Office 2016 and above in that
release and they still seem to be ironing out the bugs. Word 2013 and below is
still using the old code. Possibly if you revert to JAWS 2018 the problem will
not manifest itself.
Matthew

Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS not reading in Text box
Hi all
Just encountered this issue, I was previously using MS Word 2010 but now I have
Word 2016 when trying to read previous documents all is fine until I try to
read within a Text box, when I type in the Text box it echoes the letters but
when I arrow back or forward to check wording it is not reading, I think this
must be something really simple and I am overlooking this, any help appreciated.
Kind regards
Gary
