Hi List,
Using Word 2000 and JAWS 8 with AVG 7.5
I have just opened Word and gone into an existing document to do some
editing. JAWS read everything line by line but when I tried to read a word
at a time, with Ctrl+Right Arrow, all Jaws would say is "blank".
I checked Font attributes with Ins+F and was told: "point black, mixed
font, mixed style". I went into the Font menu to check if my default
settings had changed but they had not.
Fast forward a couple of minutes and AVG announced it had finished scanning
and told me to press Space Bar to close. And hey presto, JAWS reads word by
word.
My question is, why should AVG limit JAWS to reading only line by line when
its scanning and is there any way of getting round this? AVG can take
anything up to an hour to scan for viruses and as things stand at the moment
it is pointless me trying to edit documents during scanning.
Any thoughts?
