Just tab to the edit field and begin to type (do not press Enter).  Not sure 
why you cannot read text previously entered.

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.
