[bcab] Jaws and off-screen information?

Does anyone please know if there is a way to make Jaws read information which 
is off the screen or
not visible, better?   By this I mean that if a Window is open in it's restored 
state but thanks to
unlucky window positioning it goes half off of the screen, I can't seem to get 
Jaws to read the text
which is offscreen.

The issue is similar with columns that are not wide enough to visually display 
all the text, in any
program.
Whether it's Excel or Outlook Express, if a column is not wide enough, visually 
on screen you get
dot dot dot at the cutoff point halfway through the text, and this is also what 
jaws reads.   The
rest of the information which is "covered by the column overlap" is still 
there, in fact Windoweyes
reads it all by default even if it is off-screen, but Jaws doesn't seem to be 
able to.

I've been through the Jaws manual, & on the FS website looking for help with 
this but had no joy.
Am I correct in drawing the conclusion that Windoweyes is better than Jaws at 
reading off-screen
text information?  If this is a true limitation in Jaws, perhaps this is also 
the reason why so many
users have reported getting incomplete or cut-off information at times, it's 
simply because window
or dialog box positioning, or column widths, have gone askew. And Jaws can't 
read offscreen
information... or can it??

Any help with this technical sounding but quite possibly simple matter, 
appreciated.
