Sally, I'm checking all possibilities ... have you unloaded JAWS and/or shut the computer down since encountering these problems?

Press alt+space, followed by x. Which version of JAWS are you using?

Perhaps this started after a recent update of JAWS. JAWS will read only if item is selected when attempting to go forward or backward by line or word.

Have you attempted the keystrokes in more than one program, such as Word, a web browser like Internet Explorer, notepad, etc?

Neither can I read forward or backward a word. Does anyone know what might have happened? Thanks for any suggestions. Sally No virus found in this incoming message.
