This seemed to have worked.
The "all format" was checked and after unchecking it the document read
without the announcements.
Thanks again!

Hello Rich,
Here are a couple things to check out in Word and in the JAWS quick
settings:
If you are using a version of Word earlier than 2007 then use Alt+T to
bring
up the tools menu. Use up arrow key to the options menu item and press
enter key. Use CTRL+Tab until focus moves to the View tab of the dialog
box. Use tab key across the various options and if the option for
paragraph
marks is checked then use spacebar to remove the checkmark. Also confirm
that the checkbox for Show All or Show All formatting isn't checked. (I
am
not at a system with a version of Word earlier than 2007 on it so I am
trying this from memory). Tab to the Apply button if there is one and use
spacebar on it. Tab to the OK button and use spacebar. If there is no
Apply button then just use the OK button.
If you are using Word 2007 or later then use Alt+F and then use up arrow
to
the Options item and press enter key. Use down arrow key to the Display
tab. Use tab key across the choices and make sure the Paragraph Marks
checkbox isn't checked. If it is then use spacebar to remove the
checkmark.
Tab to the OK button and use spacebar.
To check recent changes made in JAWS that might be affecting the reading
of
text use JAWS key with V and tab to the tree view. Type the word Last
quickly or press L until you get to the Last Changed Settings item. Use
down arrow to hear the recent changes made in JAWS. If you find an item
that might have affected the JAWS behavior then you can tab to the Search
box and find the item to change back to the setting you want.
Take care.

Following the "line" instructions helped a bit.
This got rid of some of the verbiage, however, I hear "paragraph mark"
when
using the left/right arrow when reading a document.
By the way, I do not have "Office" just Microsoft word with XP.
Thanks.
Rich

Hello Rich,
You might want to check to see if your "line and paragraphs indication"
is
turned off. Use JAWS key with V and type the word "line" (without the
quotes) in the search box. Use down arrow key to the "lines and
paragraphs
indication" and if it is set to anything else but Off then press spacebar
until the Off option is chosen. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar.
The CTRL+Shift+8 keystroke toggles the state of the View All option so if
you used it thinking that the option was active when it wasn't then you
might have checked the option. To make sure it isn't checked, if you are
using Word 2007 or later use Alt followed by H and then use CTRL+right
arrow
until you hear the Bullets button announced. Use tab key to the Show all
button and if it is not checked then press Alt key to leave the menu. If
it
is checked use spacebar to remove the checkmark. In a version of Word
earlier than 2007 go into the tools menu and choose the Options choice.
Go
to the View tab and make sure the Show All checkbox is not checked.
Take care.

Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Rich,
If I remember correctly, press control, shift, +8, on the number row to
turn
off and on
proof reading marks such as the paragraph mark.
HTH
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word with too much verbage.
Hi all,
I have XP home and 14.0.
Recently, I opened a document in "microsoft" word to modify it.
Instead of hearing "blank" for blank lines, I heard "paragraph mark".
My sighted wife said the document had dash marks and other symbols
showing,
that did not seem to be in that document in the past.
Could I have altered the settings somewhere? and how can I fix it?
Thanks so much for any help.
Rich
