allow you to move into them.

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

Subject: [jaws-uk] making text boxes with JAWS
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.
