Hello Shari, I am using Word 2013 but I think 2010 will be the same for what I am mentioning. One way you can do this is to use JAWS key with F5 to list fields and press enter on the one you want to move to in the form. Press application key and look for Properties in the contextual menu. If you open properties there is a group of a couple radio buttons for choosing between whether the checkbox is checked or unchecked. Just move to the appropriate radio button and then use OK.
With the method you are using if the mark you use is just to the right of the checkbox then try to use left arrow one time after moving to the field. Check in the contextual menu using application key to see if properties is a choice. If so then focus should be right in the checkbox. Take care.

I'm using Jaws 14 and Word 2010, although I don't know what version of Word was used to develop the form. I don't know how to get the checkmark or x to go into the box. For instance, if I want to indicate "no", when I type the x, it is either before or after the box. I don't know how to get it inside the box. Any ideas?
