Don,
Not sure if this helps but this is with Word 2010 Using virtual ribbons, I
hit the alt key to invoke them. I then arrow once to the left to get on file
tab. I then arrow down a few times until on options. I then tab over until I
hear options and hit space bar. I then use Ctrl and Tab to get to advanced
tab. Ready for this, I then tab I think it was 53 times to get to that check
box you are looking for.
Het space bar and then keep tabbing until you get to ok.
For what it is worth, checking this box makes no difference in my
performance one way or the other. I should say here, I'm using Office 2010
so may be different in 2013.

Hi Mike and List,
There doesn't seem to be a Tools menu in Word 2013, so I can't find
Options. Does anyone know how to get to Options in Word 2013???

How exactly do you find "Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration" in Word
2013? I checked the menus and I also tried alt g, but I can't find that
setting.

Hi Al,
Below is a note I've saved that might help. This helped me in Word 2010:
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.

Turn off Hardware Graphics Acceleration in Office 2013

contains many technologies in-built inside it and sometimes due to them an

Office components or not running properly and freezing every now and then or

Graphics Acceleration may be the culprit behind this.

Phillip,
Sounds to me like part of the pause issue with jaws some of us are
experiencing. I would suggest submitting a report to Freedom Scientific at:
[email protected]
They are closed today or you could call, but if you prefer to talk by phone
you could call Monday.
Personally, I like the email route for paper and documentation trail as the
issue gets kicked up the ladder.
They do want to hear about these issue to adequately fix.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws and word 2013 sluggish problems
I am running Jaws 17.0.1214 on a 64-bit 3.2MHZ windows 7 ultimate system
with 12 GB of ram.
I am also running Word 2013.
When I am typing for a period of time in word, suddenly without warning,
Jaws will stop speaking. If I wait for bout ten seconds, , jaws will say
the last key pressed. If I press another key, I have to wait another 10
seconds or so before that key is echoed.
Eventually all the keys pressed will show up in my document.
I am just wondering if this might be a jaws problem, or if there might be a
setting within word that might have to be changed, possibly something to do
with recovery?
Also, if I attempt to save a large document first as a doc, and then as a
text file, Jaws will crash and sometimes restart. Even after it restarts,
sometimes Jaws will not respond and I must use narrator to finish saving my
text file within word.
This seems to happen with Jaws 17 and 16.
Any clues would be great fully appreciated.
Phil
