MessageVal, Hmm, sorry, but I'm at a loss to suggest anything else re the read only bug as you mention. Maybe one of the experts from Techno or S 'n S can offer some better advice. The 1 to 100 per cent thing you are hearing, I think, is the new feature in Jaws 6, which refers to progress bars. It's just telling you how the page is loading, and you'll find when it reaches the 100% your jaws voice will kick in and start reading the page? Cheers, Robin. ----- Original Message ----- From: Val Brown To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 6:47 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] READ ONLY MESSAGE Message for Robin: Thanks for your advice re eliminating "Read only". I followed your instructions but, guess what, still getting the same message. I am using MS Outlook and MS Word 2000 and V6 of JAWS but the message still persists. Any documents I created prior to V5 are O.K. The "bug" or whatever seems to have shown its ugly head since then. V6 seems to have installed fine - am getting "smooth" speech whether reading straightforward text or links. I did not merge settings just in case there were problems. I downloaded SPAMfighter the other day. Is it working correctly because when I trawl "Google" or "Play.Co" or any HTM pages I get a "1% - 100%" message. I assume it is looking for spam, but is this correct or have I downloaded it incorrectly? Best wishes. Val. Val Brown
