Another thing you might put on the list is, that the Normal.dot (Word
Template) file might have become corrupted. In that case, deleting the
normal.dot file (with Microsoft Word closed) will fix it, as the next
time you open word it will replace with a fresh normal.dot .

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Can't read Word docs in 2003
I'm trying to remember my check list for Word docs that didn't read.
I'm guessing you have tried everything on the list, but just in case
...
1. Is the application maximized?
2. Is the document maximized?
3. Is the zoom set to 75% or thereabouts?
4. is the font a reasonable size?
5. Is the font something JAWS can read easily?
6. What does the status line say?
67 If you select-all, copy, paste the document into either Wordpad,
Notepad, or into Word, can you then read it?
One of my students had a document we couldn't read. So we pasted it
into a fresh Word doc and it showed up nice as you please. Of course,
doing this for every stinkin' document would be a laaaaaaaarge pain.
Good luck!
Ann
