Taika, I am sure that what Andrew means is that you close JAWS and then start it up again. I have a similar problem as you and so when it occurs I use the <INSERT>+<F4> to close JAWS and the <ALT>+<CONTROL>+J hot key to restart JAWS and everything is then fine. It usually takes about 15 seconds to execute this maneuver, and yes I know it is annoying.
And sometimes, I just open the view menu and switch from "Normal View" to "Print View" (or vice versa) and JAWS then begins reading the page as it should. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous." - Henry Ford - "By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy.

I use XP Home, JAWS 6.0, Outlook Express and Word 2000. For some reason, when I am in a Word Document, either reading one or creating one, when I press the alt key for menus, JAWS is silent. Maneuvering with the Say Line and JAWS cursor, I can get things done, usually, but in a very laborious way which also wastes valuable time. I am sure that I must have accidentally checked or unchecked some setting somewhere. Have I given enough information for anybody to recognize what could be going on and how I can fix it?
