[nabs-l] Checking boxes in word documents

When I encounter documents that require a check mark, I usually put an
x in the places I want to check. However I have noticed that many
documents now have check boxes imbedded into them, and I am guessing
that a sighted person would click inside these boxes if they want to
check them.

I am a JAWS user, and I have encountered difficulty doing this. If the
document isn’t super important, then I just delete the check boxes and
x the choice I want to check. But when documents are important, what
is the best way to go about this?

Thanks.
