I've experienced this problem inconsistently. You can have JAWS verbalize selected text by pressing shit+JAWS key+numpad 2. Not ideal, since selected text should be spoken immediately, but an option.

After doing the latest update when trying to select words in a word document or email Jaws doesn't tell me what is being highlighted. Jaws lets me know what I am highlighting when in an email inbox or in my document folder. This has only started after the last upgrade and I haven't changed any settings. I have tried pressing insert S to go through those settings but none of them fix the issue. There is no problems highlighting text on webpages. Hoping someone can help because I do allot of copying and pasting between documents. >From Shaz.
