Hi Shari, Here is a note I've saved on this topic. Give it a try & let the list know how it works.
From: Brian Lee 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. Brian Lee HTH Take care.

I don't know how to get the check mark in the correct place. Jaws says text box, but when I type an x, it is outside of the box. I don't know if I need a Jaws or a Word keystroke for this. I'm using Jaws 16.
