Karen,

Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify, I'm trying to helm improve the accessibility of a form that's been created in Word. My agency chooses to try to make forms in Word, rather than using something web-based such as Microsoft or Google Forms.

I know I can improve the help text and bookmarks in the form, but the state of the checkboxes (checked or unchecked) doesn't change when activated consistently. I know there are likely some issues with JAWS in all of this, I'm just trying to make what I have to work with the most accessible as I can for screen reader users, including me. Smile.

Thanks,

Katie Frederick
