Samira, What version of JAWS are you running? I would recommend updating to the latest 9.0.2169 if you are not there yet.

Now when I press insert-pagedown on a word document that I inserted comments in, it reads a line from the comment pane. In a word documents without comments, the key combination reads a line from the text, sometimes the last line on the page or the documents. Other ideas to get it to read the status line? Do you think I should uninstall then reinstall Jaws?

This is in fact normal behaviour, and may be attributed to the fact that the taskbar is "always on top", which is the default setting. Hope that helps. -- Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?
