Thanks that does work. A whole lot more keying in involved to accomplish it
but it can be done. You can also just press Enter on that new bookmark as
well and it will take you there. A shame the old quick method doesn't work
but this is a viable solution. Again thanks.

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.
