OK Listers, Neither Debbie Anna nor I have found a total solution to using
JAWS with text boxes.  This is becoming quite an issue for me, so I'd repeat
my plea for anyone to tell me that it can or can't be done.  Thanks.

I have never had success reading text boxes with Jaws in Word either.
However, if you save the document as htm or html and save it as a web page,
then the text in the text boxes is readable.  It will put the text from the
text boxes on the webpage and you read it just like you were reading any
webpage in IE.  I don't know if this will work for all documents with text
boxes, but I have used this technique on several documents with success.

The last time I tried to do something with a text box was probably with
JFW4.0-something and Word 2000, and I got into it and couldn't get out.  I
mean, really couldn't get out.  I had to find someone to make the mouse
move where it needed to go and to get rid of the bloomin thing!  It is
possble with newer JFW and less accessible Office (I find Office 2002 less
accessible than 2000), it would work better; who knows?
