David, Okay, at last a positive suggestion for these Word-related crashes. I've checked my Word 2007 and all those checkmarks were active. I've unchecked all three and wait with baited breath for an improvement.
Appreciate your substantive inputs.

I just had the Jaws crash again, and your suggested command worked. Thanks! At least I can re-start things now if need be. When the problem occurred, and I used the Jaws key Windows F4 command, I got an error report dialog, and send that onto FS.

It seems that I have narrowed the Jaws crashing issue on my current Windows 7 computer down to the following sequence of events. Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open. Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command. The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer. My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down the computer. Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue? Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem?? I did not have this problem prior to updateing to Jaws 18.
