Also, in most cases when Jaws says "blank" instead of some text, refreshing the screen with Insert+Escape helps a lot. First thing to do with a Windows XP machine is to change the theme to classic windows. This can be done from Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Theme tab.

As someone who has had such annoying experiences in the past, here are some things to watch out for while using Jaws : a) Ensure that the particular window where Jaws is focussing is maximised. If not, maximise it by pressing Alt + Space Bar and then pressing X. b) Ensure the Word document is opening in the Normal view mode. If not, press Control + Alt + N to bring it to Normal view. c) Ensure that the optimum configurations recommended for Windows and MS Word are carried out. These recommendations are available on ATI's website (http://www.accesstechnologyinstitute.com). Please let me know if you need a copy to be sent to you. These setting changes usually ensure a trouble-free performance from our dear, yet temperamental, screen reader.
