Hi Steve, Is it possible that the document is not set to have "protected forms" or "forms mode" enabled?
A word document with fields (fields where you are supposed to enter data) must have it's protected form setting enabled (this allows you to enter data only into the fields). You turn this off if you need to edit the form (or I should say the design of the form) and perhaps someone gave you a form document without enabling the form? In that case you would be able to move anywhere at all within the document, but you could not enter data into the form fields. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Jacobson [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2012 9:46 PM > To: GW-INFO List > Subject: Microsoft Word Check Boxes > > I have a Word document that contains checkboxes which > Window-Eyes reports as a checkbox within a field.
