Window-eyes cannot automatically speak the title details of the various boxes on a Word form - this is not a fault of Window-eyes but relates to how Microsoft Word forms are created.
Regardless of the Word version, you need to create help text for each element of the form. This is a useful label on the form's toolbar which allows Window-eyes to speak the instruction of the field. It is not printed. The procedures for doing this vary depending upon Word versions, particularly between Word 2003, Word 2007 etc. For Word 2003, Gw Micro has a knowledge base article which you can get to by doing a search from wihtin the Knowledge Base support link of the GW Micro site. Best of luck.

It is a microsoft word document with edit boxes and check boxes. I can go from each idea with the tab key. Unfortunately, windoweyes doesn't speak what the edit box is calling for. Is there any way to overcome this to get windoweyes to read the labels to the edit boxes. Or is there a way to label the edit boxes and check boxes so windoweyes will read them?
