So the table is how it's supposed to be? I have never used this kind of form on either platform, and expected a prompt, then something VO would identify as a text field, for instance. Also, I had sighted help filling this one out, and we noticed that a line of hint text appeared when you put your cursor in any of the editable areas. Is there any way to read that help text with VO? Thanks. On Aug 7, 2014, at 12:06 AM, Nicholas Parsons <[email protected]> wrote:
