You might try while in your documents, open a folder and press alt V, see 
what is checked. I keep mine checked on list view...

Subject: [JAWS-Users] files appearing empty in my documents but read 
finewhen accessed through word


> Hi list,
> I have had a strange problem the past few days. I have some files 
> containing my study assignments for uni. Since I wanted to have 2 or 3 
> documents opened at the same time, I opened them through my documents. 
> This meant I could just shift tab back to the list of files, and arrow 
> down to the next I wanted, rather than going through the open dialogue in 
> word. However, when I open the files, Jaws reads as if the documents are 
> empty. However, if I launch word from the start menu, control O and shift 
> tab into the list of files, and open them there, Jaws reads the contents 
> fine. I haven't been able to get anyone to confirm for me, if the text 
> actually appears when I open them through my documents though. If the text 
> isn't appearing, then Jaws will in fact be reporting things correctly. 
> Does anyone know though, why the same files would read differently when 
> opened through my documents?
> thanks Jason
> P.S I am using Jaws 9 pro, word 2003 and XP home.
