Thanks Neil. These instructions worked and it made it really easy for my boss and I to label the form fields. Thanks again. Kate Walsh

At least, they worked several years ago. Labeling unlabelled form fields This is an incredibly frustrating problem. You can type in your own custom labels. But, it takes a sighted person to help you. 1. Go to the form field that is not read out by JAWS. 2. Have the sighted person read to you the label on the field. 3. Hold down the insert key and strike the F2 key. 4. Arrow down to custom label and strike enter. 5. You will hear a high pitch and the word edit. 6. Type in the label you want. 7. Tab to the OK button and strike enter.

I need to label some for fields and I am not sure how to do it. I would appreciate if someone could send me instructions on how to label a form field. Thanks in advance.
