It ended up being the system font setting. It was set on large. Putting this
back to the default setting, fixed the problem.
Thanks for your response.

You are probably hearing space marker. Did you slow JAWS down to see if you
could understand what is being said? There is a short cut command to turn
this behavior on and off but I'm not sure what it is. Here are instructions
for controling what is shown and therefore announced by JAWS in Word 10
related to the kinds of marks you are asking about. It is taken from an
Internet site. The information appears correct. I've seen similar
information on another site dealing with the same question.
Here is the information followed by my comments.
If you click the File tab > Options > Display, you can see a series of
checkboxes that help you control what formatting marks you see.
Their use is not intuitive and it goes something like this:
. if you put a check in the Show all formatting marks box and click OK, you
will see all formatting marks in your document. This is like clicking on the
Show formatting marks button in the ribbon show-hide-formatting-marks . If
you go back and uncheck that box, it hides all formatting marks and is the
same as toggling them off using the Show formatting marks button again.
. if you put a check in any of the other formatting boxes, those kinds of
formatting will display all the time - whether you have toggled the Show
formatting marks button on or off.
. you might have guessed that the Show all formatting marks check box in
Word Options is pretty much redundant because we have a much easier tool to
use on the ribbon that does the same thing: the Show formatting marks button
show-hide-formatting-marks .
My comments:
I don't have Word 2010. but it appears to me, from my familiarity with
ribbons and related structures that you use alt f to open the file menu,
then find options and after you open options, you find view. I may be wrong
since I don't have that version of the program but I doubt I am.
You may have to use not just the up and down arrows to find view, you may
have to use the left and right arrows.
