Hi Scorpio, Disabling hardware graphics acceleration in Office / Word 2010 / 2013 will help these programs as well. Check these notes: From: Jean Menzies via Jfw Just thought I'd share this for those who want to try it.
The symptom. I've often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish. In going through settings, I came across an option to "Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration". I checked that and things seem to be much more responsive now. I'll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this, go into Options, Advanced, and the item is in there. If you use the, Alt + G keystroke, you'll get to it much quicker. From what I read on Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them. Hey, I don't need graphics anyway. haha. Hope this works. Jean Note From Mike B.: My settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y. Hi Jean & Ted, I went into my MS Word 2010 & played around with these 2 settings a little bit & what I found was, sometimes they would hold & sometimes not. So, when I found that they were both checked after a few attempts of saving these settings again,I got the hell out with the escape key! LOL LOL Note: I'm not sure but, it might make a difference in which order you check these options. I've got mine saved now &, don't want to play around anymore. Take care.

Thanks for the tip, as I was having the same problem with Internet Explorer, ever since version 11.
