I just attached a second version of the test case. That version is not
write-protected. Because it is not write-protected a user who is blind *could*
do the following:
1. Be sure the Form Design toolbar is showing.
2. Each and every time he/she wants to exit the form:
a. Press F6 repeatedly until that toolbar has focus
b. Arrow to the Design Mode On/Off button and press it
c. Arrow within the document to read the instructions
d. Press F6 repeatedly to get back to the Form Design
toolbar.
e. Arrow to the Design Mode On/Off button and press it
BUT:
* There's still no good way (again, that I can find) to give focus to the *next*
form field in order having performed the above steps.
* When Design Mode is toggled, the caret seems to be (re)positioned wherever it
last was within the document (i.e. so there's no reliable way -- that I can find
-- to move the caret to the *next* bit of text.)
* That's an awful lot of extra steps one has to perform simply because one
cannot use a mouse.
* Performing those steps means the user might accidentally alter the form itself
(e.g. move fields around, delete them, etc.) -- and is more likely to not
realize that this has taken place due to a visual impairment.
So obtaining (or creating) an unprotected copy really is not the solution IMHO.
In order for users who are blind to fill out forms in Writer documents we
really need an easy (and intuitive, and well-documented) way to use the keyboard
to accomplish the focus changes mouse users can accomplish with a mere click.
Thanks in advance!!
