Subject: [JAWS-Users] Multi-line rich text edit boxes.

Hello,

I am attempting to use what is essentially a SharePoint form.  I have no
problem going through most of the form, using radio buttons, check boxes,
and simple edit boxes.  However, there are certain boxes that are multi-line
edit boxes.  When I tab into them, no label is announced, but I hear "rich
text edit box".  I can type into the box no problem, but I can't seem to
close the edit box.  Hitting the plus key just says PC cursor, instead of
closing the edit box and reverting to the virtual cursor.

The only way to get out of it is to tab, but in one section of this form,
that just tabs me to the next rich text edit box, and since there is no
label associated with the edit box, I don't know what box I am in.

If I can close the edit box, go back to the virtual cursor, I can arrow down
the screen, hearing the heading that states the purpose of the next edit
box, then press e, and vwa la I am in the next box.

So, is there some magic key that I am missing that closes a multi-line edit
box?
