I am having similar issues with JAWS 11 and Outlook 2007. You could smoke a cigarette while you wait for a message to open. And, after a while, even though JAWS is set to automatically read messages when opened, it will just stop doing it, and you then need to close, and restart JAWS.

However the problem is much worse in 2007 with JAWS 11. I have found that I have to do a complete shut down, and not a restart to fix the problem for a while. I only have this problem at work using the above stated combinations of JAWS and Office, and not at home using JAWS 11 & Office 2003. At work I am also having problems where JAWS 11 is taking a very long time to start reading an e-mail message in 2007 that I have just opened, and when I press Enter in the body of a message while I am composing it. I've not found a fix for this besides just waiting it out. Sometimes it appears that after waiting for a while, the only way to get JAWS to say anything is to press the up and down arrows. It does not make sense to me.

If I use the JAWS pointer, I can see there is material there and read it that way, but the virtual cursor does not work, and the arrow keys do nothing. Total lack of any feed back at all. Restarting JAWS doesn't fix it. Rebooting the computer will fix it until next time. JAWS 9 does not do this. In fact, if I don't feel like going through a reboot, I just turn off JAWS 11 and launch JAWS 9 and it will read the email just fine. I have made sure that the settings for JAWS 9 have been ported to JAWS 11. I have heard at least two other people express this problem, but none of us has solved. it. I checked the JAWS support pages and they mention that undocked tool bars, or large font sizes can cause this effect. However, I do not have undocked toolbars, and when I adjust the font size it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas?
