I have Word 2007 and JAWS 10. I did the following to make the same page
link work:
1. I selected the "Bookmark info goes here" that was at the bottom of the
page.
2. I created a bookmark calling it FirstOne.
3. I moved to the top of the document and pasted "Bookmark 1" there.
4. I selected the text at the top of the document and used CTRL-K to bring
up the hyperlink dialog.
5. I found the list of possible types of links and used down arrow until I
found bookmarks and then just under bookmarks was the one I created called
FirstOne. With "FirstOne" selected I used tab key to the OK button and
pressed enter.
When I use Insert-F7 the link is in the list and pressing enter moves focus
to the bookmark at the bottom. Also, if I move focus on to the link and use
the application key and choose the open link choice, the focus is moved to
the bookmark at the bottom of the page.
I think the process is similar in Word 2003, but I am not at a system to try
it right now.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] MS Word hyperlinks and Jaws
Can anyone else successfully use the same page hyper linking in MS Word?
I use XP Pro and Office 2003. I have called tech support, unfortunately
the rep was unwilling to seek a solution beyond her own knowledge
insisting it is a Word issue. I can successfully do the below on JFW
version 8 but not 9 or 10 using the same machine, same MS Word and even
same document. Switching from version to version when working is time
consuming as well not having the hyper link feature is very time consuming
as well.
Here is how to create a same page hyper link if you wish to try and let me
know, off list if that is better for all.
1. In a "previously saved empty document", carriage return 8 to 10 times.
2. Type in the words "Bookmark 1"
Press carriage return twice and then type "Bookmark info goes here"
Arrow backup to the Bookmark 1 text, highlight it, and copy it with CTRL C
Go to the top of the document and paste as a hyperlink by pressing ALT E,
then H. Or accessing the Edit menu and arrow down until you see Paste As
Hyperlink.
This should create a link identifiable by Jaws in which you click or press
Enter on it and it will whisk you to the place in which you copied the
text. You can check by arrowing down twice to hear "Bookmark info goes
here"
When I try it with the latter versions it simply does not paste anything.
It is not grayed out/unavailable in the menu either, it simply will not
paste anything. I'd be curious if anyone can do this in JFW version 10
Perhaps there is a setting to allow this. I've tried diddling with any
settings I can think of in the verbocity settings that might affect it.
Thanks.
