Scott, that happens sometimes for no apparent reason. when it does, I just put up with it and use the windows list dialog. Sometimes I'll reboot which always takes care of weird behavior like this. Or, you could try unloading and reloading jaws. Oftee n that helps with buggy behavior. -

you probably have the show all button pressed in Word. I don't know what version of word you're using, but in word2010, in the home ribbon, under the paragraph group, there is a button called show all. If that button is pressed, then every paragraph, page, section mark etc will be read aloud

Actually, ControlShift+8 (not F8) will convert paragraph marks to a pair of new line marks. I didn't know this until I tried your suggestion and found that paragraph marks became a pair of new line marks. Live and learn. Again, to turn off reading of special marks, unpress the show all button
