It may be true that JAWS 13 doesn't work with Word 2013 because Microsoft did make some major changes, among them adding the "backstage" view and PDF support. Even if it isn't, however, you are guaranteed to get better performance if you upgrade to JAWS 16, as recent updates to the latest JAWS release specifically addressed Office 2013 compatibility.

I called Freedom Scientific last week to see what I needed to do to use jaws with ms word 13 effectly. I was told that I need to upgraded from jaws 13 to 16 otherwise ms word 13 won’t work. Is that true? Also, I was trying to contact Kathy Ann Murtha to get the audible text book on ms word 13 but, I don’t know how to purchase this other than thru calling her. I have never been able to speak with her to purchase a text book. Does anyone know if she is still doing this teaching program? Are there other tutorials available to learn ms word with Jaws? Any information that you have to share is appreciated. Thank you, Andy and Shubert Andrew J.
