David, Yesterday I tried this dialog with NVDA and noticed that the control there (unlike with JAWS) is labeled "Show Office clipboard." That implies it's a toggle, and what you say here confirms it. Beyond that, NVDA wasn't helpful. From what I've read, NVDA now supports Word 2013 and 2016, but not my 2010.
So I just tried your method of determining when the control is disabled and enabled. I wasn't successful. However, I'll experiment by pressing enter on the control and working for a while, then going back and pressing enter again. I'll assume that either the first or second time, pressing enter disabled it. That way I should figure out if disabling is the answer. Once again, thanks for all your good advice to list members. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2017 7:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Clipboard text keeps interfering with JAWS Hello Adrian; Ok, I played with this a little, What I found was, you need to turn the office clipboard off, from word. 1, go into word, Now press alt+h=home Now, tab and enter on, office clipboard.... You will see that the clip board has been disabled. You can verify this by routing jaws to pc, you will not see the office clipboard if it's disabled. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Friday, January 13, 2017 3:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Clipboard text keeps interfering with JAWS Thanks, David. I found the same area in Outlook 2010, which I should have mentioned I'm using. I'd already unchecked every item in that list, and I just now went back in to double-check. Any more great ideas to pull out of your bag of many tricks? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Friday, January 13, 2017 11:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Clipboard text keeps interfering with JAWS - Turn the Microsoft Office 2016 or 2013 clipboard features on or off using these easy steps.

If so, I've made too many changes to my system since this problem began. If it's something else, please let me know. Obviously, I'm not familiar with what that would be. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Subash Sent: Friday, January 13, 2017 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Clipboard text keeps interfering with JAWS Hi Adrian Do you think a windows restore might work? Computers are weird at times. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 10:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Clipboard text keeps interfering with JAWS Thanks, Annette, but I'm afraid your post shows it doesn't work. I opened your message and the clipboard text came up. I tried to refresh with insert-escape, but the clipboard didn't go away. I had to do the alt-enter dos- à-dos again. Any other thoughts? This is very distracting. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Annette Carr Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 8:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Clipboard text keeps interfering with JAWS I wonder if refreshing the screen with Insert+Escape will help.

Say I open an email and set it up for reply, I leave the message, return to the edit field, and all JAWS will do is read the clipboard. The workaround is to alt-enter out of the email and alt-enter back in, although who knows why that works. However, it's a nuisance, and it happens in other contexts as well, interfering with my work. This afternoon I did a JAWS repair, but it made no difference. I've unchecked every item in the Office clipboard dialog. Again, no difference. Any ideas?
