If this isn't the answer, try a JAWS repair. This shouldn't be happening. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul D'Addario" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 3:29 PM Subject: [jaws-users] reading Word documents Greetings all: A few months ago I upgraded aplications at work. Most things have since gone well. However there is one item that continues to stump me: I am currently using JAWS 7.0, OFFICE 2003 and Groupwise 6.5. Prior to this, I had used JAWS 3.7, and Office 2000 . When using JAWS 3.7 , I could quickly use my down arrow when reading aword document when i wanted to edit the document. Each time i pressed the down arrow, JAWS would stop reading the line i was on and would begin reading the line to which i moved. Unfortunately , when using JAWS 7.0, JAWS will continue to read a line even when I have moved off the line. thus when i want to edit what may be the 25th line of a document , I have to listen to JAWS read lines that I want to quickly skip over. Why was I abel to do this using 3.7 , without making any setting change, and now using 7.0 I cannot find any option to have jaws read as i want it to read? Interestingly, in Groupwise , JAWS reads as it always has. AS I move down a message quickly using my down arrow, as I move to a new line, JAWS stops reading the old line and begins reading the new line. I've looked for differences in settings in Groupwise vs. Word and cannot find the secret. I would appreciate any suggestions you folks have.
