[nfbcs] Help with Word 2003

[Tracy Carcione]

Help!  I have a Word doc with tables, and I'm supposed to check the
appropriate box.  I have Word 2003.  Jaws says it's a "field", and a
checkbox, and I can't figure out how to check it.  I've tried space, left
mouse, braille display click, and putting an x, but the box remains
unchecked.  And the x showed up somewhere else. So how do I check the box?

It's one of those dumb forms for Human Resources, so naturally it has to
be as big a pain as possible.
Thanks for any advice.
