Hi all, I'm seeking beta testers for the MS Word script, but only if you frequently use Word forms.
the biggest change to the next version is that I've made an effort to deal with forms which weren't constructed properly for accessibility, and so have no help info for each field, which usually appears in the status bar and is read by WE. What I'm doing is to work with forms created where fields are positioned in table cells (a frequent technique). this lets me easily look for text to the left of each field in the cell, then to the cell to the left, and finally to the cell on top. if all of these are empty I'll use the field name (usually a meaningless phrase, but you never know, and it gives you something to refer to if you can communicate with the form designer). I'll also try and do something with fields not positioned in a table before releasing the next update. I'd like someone besides me to test this before it's released, and also who might have ideas for what could be found and read automatically to help with forms. finally, if nothing else, maybe they could send me examples of forms which aren't reading anything for their fields. if you're interested write to me at: (home) [email protected] (work) [email protected] thanks.
