Have you got the latest version of Jaws? If you've turned off the prompt for Jaws software to check this out, you may not have. It's 12.0..525.

Hi Carol, That sounds like the same kindda problem I'm
having however, a reboot / reload doesn't fix the
problem. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling JAWS 12
several times and also did the repair install thing it
has. I'm now using NVDA and JAWS 10 for the moment.

Original message:
I don't know if it's relevant or helpful, but I upgraded
to Jaws 12 a few weeks ago and suddenly noticed the other
day that I couldn't read letter for letter
or word for word across lines.

However, a reboot did solve the problem and I wonder if,
though perhaps more prevalent in these later versions,
it's not too big a deal to reboot sometimes. <Smiles>

BTW: I did unload Jaws to start with but it started
really acting up and I was forced to close down on that
occasion.)

Subject: [access-uk] Update: JAWS not reading Word
documents and text areas in IE8 using Windows 7

block quote
I've installed the JAWS 10 demo and it appears  to be
reading Word 2003 documents fine when I use the arrow
keys + text areas in IE8. It is JAWS 11 and 12 that  have
this problem. Not sure if it is something to do with the
FS mirror display driver.
