Rose, This may be off topic, but for the good of your marriage, I hope your hubby doesn't continue to feel slighted by you. Whatever the problem is, I'm sure you guys can work it out.

All they know is by clicking the left mouse button, within an edit field, activates the cursor so they can type text into that field. But, in effect, they are turning on forms mode, although they do not realize that is what they have done. And by clicking the left mouse button on "OK", "GO", buttons, etc., they are turning forms mode off. The only reason we know that forms mode is turned on, is that JAWS tells us. So, for example, when you press ENTER on an edit field within a form, JAWS was to say "edit" instead of "Form Mode On"and that had been the case since the Forms Mode function was introduced, you may not yourself realize or know that you were using forms mode, just like sighted people.
