Lisa, Since I haven't seen any response to your question, I'm going to take a stab at it. I'm using Office 2007 with Windows XP and it works very well, so I don't think waiting for JAWS 10 is the answer. Plus that's a ways off yet. I had a similar problem awhile back. For some reason the Normal template gets messed up and causes slow down problems. The Normal template is the file Word goes to every time you choose to start a new, blank document. You simply need to delete the Normal template. Word will create a new one, so you don't have to worry about losing something essential. Or if you are concerned about this simply cut and paste the file to a different, temporary location. It can be deleted later after you know you do not need it. Here's what you can do. Open My Computer/Windows Explorer. Go to the Local, C drive Find the Documents and Settings folder and open it. Then you will need to find the correct folder for your computer. There will be folders like, Administrator All users, Default User. On my computer I need to look under a folder called Tom, but of course that will be different on your computer. If you are unsure just look in each of the folders for the following folders and search through them until you find the right one with the normal template in it.
The next folder you need is called Application Data In that folder you will find another one called Microsoft In the Microsoft folder you will find a folder called Templates When you open this folder you will find a folder called Normal.dotm Then you can do one of two things: 1. Delete it 2. Or if you want to keep it around for safety sake to restore it if need be, you can cut and paste it to a different, temporary location. When this is done, restart Word and see if this helps.

I know that was one of the things that was supposed to be improved in jaws 9, but mine is very slow. When I listened to the what's new in jaws 9 Daisy book that was one of the things that was demonstrated, and there's was very fast. When I read or write in Outlook Express, or the HJ Pad jaws works great, but when I do the same thing in MS Word 2007 jaws 9 is very very slow. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try to fix this, or should I just wait for jaws 10 to come out? I thought about just waiting for the release of jaws 10, but I know this problem was worked on for jaws 9. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! I'm running Jaws 9, and windows XP home addition. Take care, Lisa ____________________________________________________________ Rock Solid Web Hosting.
