Help text problem

[Nemo]

I created a form in Microsoft Word XP. Added my own "help text" so
that screen reader reads a caption for each input field. Almost all
of my input fields work for the screen reader EXCEPT several "address
fields". The tag, "street address of college", is not read. Instead
the JAWS reads the coordinates of the field. Also JAWS does this
sometimes for the "firm address" fields. It is not consistent here.

Finally I have a place for 2 references. In one, JAWS reads
accurately "relationship of reference to yourself". But in the room
for a second reference, it does not read that line but the coordinates
of the input field and page 4.

How do I work around this? Is this a problem with Word or with JAWS
or with something I have done?

Thanks for your help.
