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.

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.

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?
