Hi Chris, I can understand how this tip may help with the issue. I know there is a long list of things which the development staff has to work on, but I hope this is on that list for a future release of WE.

If you turn on math punctuation this may help in some situations. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+cgrabowski=aisquared....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of David via Talk Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 1:24 AM To: Barbara <batters...@sbcglobal.net>; Window-Eyes Discussion List <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: Re: Finding Errors When Filling in an Online Form All I can say, is that I wish there was a way to do this. I too, have found myself in the situation you describe. Good thing for you, you could trace down which field it was. Sometimes, you get a form with numerous fields, and just an error saying "something is wrong", and will you please correct the red fields. Sure, just tell me which field it is! :) Far as I know, there is no good way to do this in WE. And you are not the first one asking for the feature. Let's hope the staff will take this on, when developing the next upgrade.
