Just one small idea to check. There are some header settings on the page layout window, such as making Word put a differetn header on page 1 and 2. I don't know if this is the problem, but you might want to look at it. Alt P, then M Control tab to the layout page. Blessings, Tom Date: Tue, 13

Lenny, I think JAWS works fine with both versions. I think the question is more a matter of which Word version you want to use. Some of us have upgraded for various reasons, and learned the new ribbon menus in Office 2007, and find it works very well with JAWS. But if 2003 is working well for you,
