When completing email or registration forms online, outlines of fields into which text should be entered, such as the lines around this box, do not show up until I mouse over them. Most often, it is impossible to type into such spaces until the outlines show up, even though I might know where the field is or at least should be. I've also had problems with buttons that were supposed to take me to "payment option" screens and others making signing up for training difficult. This happens on forms and random websites, and frequently in my web.com web mail "compose" screen.

I used to print screen and generated a PDF showing forms before and after mousing over fields. Unfortunately, I don't see an attached or upload files option and " add images" won't accept the PDF. Any suggestions regarding this?

I appreciate the suggestion but couldn't make it work. That doesn't mean that the instructions were not correct, just means I probably didn't follow them correctly. I'd like to think I know my way around the applications that I use but modification of some settings seems risky to me when I'm not sure I can back out. Anyhow, thanks again for the suggestion. Perhaps it will help someone else.
