Hi,
I had the same problem and it was solved by GW Micro Tech Support's
tip of downloading Jarte which I am using quite satisfactorily
now. The GW Micro message is reproduced below for your information.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Akbar

Hello Akbar,
Since Microsoft doesn't allow add-ins for Office starter, our
enhanced Word support is not available. While a document is open, you
can open Window-Eyes, move to Verbosity/Office/Word/Miscellaneous,
and uncheck the "enhanced support for current Word document" checkbox
to cause us to fall back on our older way of reading the screen. This
is a per document settings, however, and must be repeated for each
new document you wish to read.
if you don't necessarily want to use Word, the Jarte program from
www.jarte.com can probably open your documents, and it is known to
work very well with Window-Eyes.
Regards,
Steve

Hi,
I have a new HP laptop with MS Office starter version. Till I can
afford to buy a full version of MS Office I would like to manage to
read some old word documents with the present availability of the
starter. But I just don't seem to be able to read anything with it
although my sighted son says that the document opens up fine and he
can read it. Is WE 7.51 compatible with starter? If not, is there
any way I may read my old word documents, maybe with some other
program like Open Office ?
Thanks and regards,
Akbar

On my new laptop, there is something called Microsoft Office

until I get Microsoft Office on that machine, but it does not seem
to work well with Window-Eyes. Is Microsoft Word
Starter a different program than Microsoft Word rather than just
being a limited version? I may still not have something
configured correctly but thought I'd ask here before I spend a ton
of time on this. Thanks for any information.
