Annette: Hate to bug you again. In fact, I wanted to write to you off list, so as to not clutter up the list with my question, but I could not pull your personal e-mail address from your original e-mail.
Anyway, can you tell me exactly how to access the paste special unformatted texxt option? Here are the instructions you sent me the other night: Go to Home on the Ribbon, Paste, Paste Special, Unformatted Text. I can't seem to find the option in the home menu. Am using Windows 7, Word 2010, and Jaws 16 here.

It pastes only the text and not the graphics, hyperlinks and all of the formatting. The only time I use it when I am working on copying information from other documents is when I plan to do my own formatting once I've gathered all of the information into my document. So if you are taking information from a webpage, then you most likely do not want the formatting as they have it on the webpage. The use of headings on a webpage serves a different purpose then in a document in many cases.

I'm a bit reluctant to try it here, since I don't want to risk eliminating any formatting of the many work-related documents I work with regularly. Not trying to be argumentative; just trying to learn.

The interesting thing is that I took the text from the web page I was working with, pasted it into a notepad file, and then into a word file, and the various heading and paragraph markers re-appeared. They did not appear in the original notepad file.

I have encountered a very strange problem when working with the text from e-mails that have been saved as Microsoft Word files. It seems that whenever I work with or create the files, paragraph and heading markers are read within the file. I can turn this off by going into the Jaws Quick settings menu, but as soon as I resume the editing again, paragraph and heading markers re-appear and are read in the newly-edited document. Interestingly, they are also now read in any other MS Word document I open later on. Does anyone know how I can turn the reading of paragraph and heading markers off for good! I'm using Office 2010, and Jaws version 16.0.3048 on this Windows 7 work laptop.
