Just tab to the edit field and begin to type (do not press Enter). Not sure why you cannot read text previously entered. Cher >>> "Bergen, Eric" <Eric.Bergen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 8/5/2008 3:18 PM >>> Someone has sent me a Word document that contains tables. There are drop down boxes and edit fields within the tables. I have figured out using Jaws how to set the drop down boxes. I am not able to figure out how to use the edit fields. When I hit enter and start typing, the text seems to go in. If I want to add something later, Jaws cannot see the original text I typed in earlier. I also cannot seem to add anything and find the original text. Any help in using edit fields in a Word table would be most appreciated. I am using Jaws 7 and Word 2003. Thanks. Eric.
