Hi Will
Thanks will try tomorrow, its definatley not the Normal view
causing it I have tried all views with no success.
Hoping its something to do with Maximising as also suggested
by robert.
I must admit I do forget to check this one, easily done when
you cannot see the screen.
I am using Word 2000 on a network, the text on the right
hand side is not right aligned but just on the right side.
Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham,
I think, that the SayCharacter script function, called when
you press 5 on the numeric key pad, isn't picking the
correct character from the off screen model. Everything
seems to be there in the OSM, as SayLine is working, but I
suspect that JAWS has a problem tracking the cursor for
right aligned text under Word 2003. Hence, it's generating
this problem.
You could try any of the following to see if that corrects
the issue:
1) Maximise the Word application main window, by pressing
alt + space and selecting maximise
2) Changing to normal view from within Word's view menu 3.
Changing the zoom scale from Word's view menu
4) Changing the font and font size used in the Word
document.
These are known to resolve some off screen model problems.
If they don't work, this will need to be sorted out by the
system side devs at FS.
Will
