Sorry about typo error. Message should have read:
Not really sure what your asking with regard to table. Is this a different
issue to text box? If you could clarify further please.

Hi Keith,
How to ensure that the table is on a single page? i mean what is a
single command for that (if any)?
With best regards.

Hi Muhammed,
Having selected the text box when you first insert it on your document, it
usually puts in sample text, which is part of a form field. This field can
be read by using Insert and down arrow, but you cannot read it using left
and right navigation, as it is a field.
If whilst selected you over type the field with your own text then the
normal reading rules apply as it will be plain text. Hope this helps

Hi again,
Keith had suggested a method that works. However, when i select edit text on
the context menue, JAWS does not read the text inside the box, no matter
which errow key i hit, it is completely silent. Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
With best regards.

Hi Muhammed,
In Word 2016 to create a text box without the mouse, using Alt + N
for insert, then X for text box then using arrow keys to select the
type of text box you want, now hold down the Control key and press
the Enter key to insert your chosen text box into the document.
The text message will have automatically been insert which will be
highlighted (selected), press the an arrow key to un-highlight it,
now use either the shift + F10 key combination suggested by Steve or
if your keyboard has it press the applications key to th left of the
right-hand Control key on the bottom row of the keyboard. When the
context ment appears press O for Format and this will open a task
pane to the right of your document which will allow you to change the
size, position, shape etc.
of the text box. To get to the Task pane press the F6 key and then
use the Tab and Arrow keys to navigate the different section.
Hope this helps.

Hi Muhammad,
The only way I know of drawing a text box is with the mouse, so if
you don't use the mouse, I'm not sure you can do it.
As for getting focus onto an existing text box, use Ctrl + Shift + O
to list them and then press Enter on the one you want. All the text
in the box will be selected, so press an arrow key to unselect it,
then press Shift + F10 to get the context menu. I can't help you with
the options in that menu, because I've never used them! To get from
the text box back to the text layer of the document, press Escape
twice.
Steve

Dear Steve,
Many thanks for this.
insurt+f1 works perfectly and gives me information on how the box
looks like, e.g., margins, sections in the box ETC. However the
context menue does not appear when i press shift+f10. thats the only
way that i can get the context menue because i do not use the mouse
at all.
In addition, could you pleaz explain how to draw a text box? I have
kept the information seperat in atext file before putting into a text
box, therefore drawing new boxes and insurting that information can
be a way to practice it!
thanking you in anticipation.
with best wishes.

Hi Muhammed,
Text boxes usually exist in a separate layer to the text layer where
the PC cursor works, and thus are difficult to work with the keyboard.
I only get two options for text boxes on my Insert menu. The first
is to get some from Office.com via a submenu which then tells me
there is no online content available. The second is to draw a text
box, and if I choose that I have to use the mouse to create it.
In order to format an existing text boxes, you may find Insert + F1,
the JAWS cursor or Ctrl + Shift + O useful to get information on
text boxes in your document, and if you get your focus onto one, you
can use the context menu to format it. it's possible to move them
into the text layer with Alt + Shift + C or from the context menu
when you have focus on one, but that removes their main benefit.
It's a while since I've looked into the topic properly, but I'm not
aware of the situation changing with Word 2016 or later versions of
JAWS.
Hope that helps,
Steve

Hi All,
can anyone explain how to make and format different forms of text
boxes with JAWS 18 and in word 2016?
there is an option in insurt menue to select different form of text
boxes, and moving with up and down errow it also informs you what
type of text box you are insurting, but there is no readable
information on how the text box looks like and how the copied text
looks within the text box. I am relatively new to this.
thanking all in anticipation.
