Thanks. I actually unprotected it. Now I have to find out if I can fill in the
edit fields because a left click was required while it was protected. There are
48 documents, so I'll need to do them one at a time.

Vicki-
Sounds like the form doesn't have any status text to help JAWS read the field
prompts as you tab through the document. If the author protected it, you can't
revise it to make it work any better. The author could add status line text to
the form and it will work beautifully for you. If someone in your office is
willing to do this, write me privately and I'll send instructions.

I need to fill out questionnaires in Word. The questions are formatted in
such a way that they are protected by the author, and there is a grayed area
where the answers can be written. JAWS won't read these documents. All I can
get JAWS to say is "Type your answer here." The JAWS curser will read part
of the questions, but I can't match the questions with the correct grayed
area. I've tried changing the view menu, going into the properties and
tweaking a couple of things, but nothing helps. Can someone offer some
advice? Thanks.
Vicki
