My guess is that the second thing, selecting only part of the word, is
smart word reading. It's designed to separate numbers into pieces. Try
turning it off in verbosity; and, as you know, if you want it off
permanently use the configuration manager.
Good luck!

Hello group,
here's a strange one. We use Jaws 10 and a program called Reflection at
FedEx. Jaws 10 was only recently installed. Up till about a month ago,
we were using Jaws 6.0 and there was no problem. Let me take you through
the scenario and any help would be most welcome.
EQUIPMENT:
HP desktop with 3 gigabytes of RAM.
Sound Max Sound Card,
Windows XP Pro,
Reflection software, (an emulator program which works with our main frame)
PROBLEM:
We use the Copy and paste function to transfer data from one location to
another. The information appears in fields which are restricted but act
like a word when it comes to copying and pasting.
We move to the information which is an account number, press Alt Control M
which is a hotkey that routes the PC cursor to the Invisible Cursor. All
of our reading scripts use the Invisible Cursor.
We then press Left Shift Right Arrow to highlight the account number.
Normally, when you do that, Jaws reads the highlighted text. But for some
reason, Jaws 10 reads anything but the highlighted information.
I tried pressing Control C and then moved to another screen. When I
pasted using Control V, the information was there so that part of the
sequence is working.
QUESTION: Can anyone explain why Jaws 10 isn't reading the highlighted
text?
I realize that this is really off of the wall but there are a lot of
talented people on this list including our moderators. There are two of
us at FedEx who are working this particular job.
This may be part of the same problem. On another screen, you will find
phone numbers which are divided by half spaces. With Jaws 6, when we
pressed Left Shift Right Arrow, the entire phone number was read and
highlighted. Now, only the first group is copied. I'm not sure whether
the entire number is highlighted but I don't think so and Jaws doesn't
speak the numbers at all.
I have to tell you it's driving us batty.
Thanks for any help you can give in advance.
