Navigate to the text box with the JAWS cursor, rout JAWS to PC and you can edit.

To add to Peter's suggestion, once at a text box, you may find that going into JAWS mode will divulge more information.

Hi, I use CTRL+SHIFT+O which then brings up a list of objects and as you arrow down the list you can hear some of the contents of the text box. Press enter on the one you want and your in it. Be aware I certainly find with JAWS 10 that text boxes don't read great. Fine if you just read down them but if you navigate around them it starts missing bits off etc and becomes confusing.
Hope that helps.

Peter

I'm told there's a keystroke for using text boxes in MS Word. Would anyone know what that keystroke might be? I'm Can anyone advise me on reading and editting in text boxes? I'm using Jaws 11 and MS Word 2003.
