My question is: How do you exit out of forms mode, and how do you set Jaws for manual forms mode? I use Jaws 14 here at home, and Jaws 16 at work, both with 64-bit Windows 7 computers.

Jaws likes to go in and out of forms mode when navigating through the site. In many places, you can't simply go to a link and hit enter. It will only click the link when Jaws goes into forms mode. This is particularly annoying when you find something you want to look at in greater depth. To read the site, you have to constantly exit out of forms mode. Sometimes when a page loads, it goes in and out of forms mode quickly (flip-flop). Any ideas on how to fix this? Tried setting Jaws for manual forms mode only but this did not work. Using Jaws 16.
