They will be using windows server 2012 or later. So what accessible server software is out there that works with jaws, nvda, windows narrator. Any one used this software. Just want a heads up. Thanks.

Re: Creating forms
One can create perfectly accessible forms with Microsoft Word, but it seems virtually no one knows how to do it.
Here's a very simple one I created several years ago for someone working at a local school. She needed to be able to fill out what they call "bus notes" that allowed a student to vary from the normal routine. Every checkbox and form field is announced as you tab through the document that is created by using this form template as its basis. Having it selected and hitting enter should open Word with "Document 1" having been created, which is an un-filled-out bus note. Sample Bus Note Form Document Template (dotx) There are many fillable PDF forms that are accessible, and others that are not because adequate labeling of the various checkboxes, edit boxes, radio buttons has not been done. I don't have the software to create fillable PDF forms, though. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner. ~ Eric Hoffer

Hi
I am assuming you are referring to the Windows calculator. If not, disregard my message.
Once the calculator is open and you want to enter your numbers, I usually use the numbers above the letters, but I would assume you could use the num pad. Anyhow the Plus is the plus on the top row. The minus is the dash on the top row. Multiply is the * above the 8 and divide is the forward slash at the bottom row. Delete clears the field. Enter acts as the equals. You can perform with multiple numbers like 1 + 3+8 etc. anytime you want to know what is the field information use the JAWS read current line hot key.
This works for both Windows 7 and 10.
I have never tried to go in more depth than this, so there could be more.
Hope this helps.
Barbara

Creating forms
HH. Smith Jr.
Hi fellow Listerrs,
Has anyone had any success with accessible form creation software. I was sent a form from the government. They claim that it is accessible to screen readers, but that is not actually factual. It is as accessible as Donald Trumps tax records. If anyone can help in this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,

Hey, Mario and Dean.
Yes, I had changed the links quick key to l. What I
omitted to add in my first post is that when l is set to move to next list--the
quick key default, nothing weird happens. Thanks for the link to the power user

Hi, everybody.
Does anybody know if JAWS is in forms mode when the JAWS find feature is used?
JAWS sort of stumbles over edit boxes and other controls when the Tab key is the links hot key, so I tried using the l and shift+l keys for move to next and prior links, with weird results. Rather than allowing the l key to be used to type the l character, JAWS focus jumped out of the search edit box to who knows where, because nothing in the find dialog uses the l as a shortcut. Odder still is that when the l key default was in place, there was no problem.
I'd appreciate any insights. Still trying to figure out what's under the hood, so to speak. Lou N.
