Hello Geoff, Just in case I can help you from going down an unproductive path I have had a similar problem with Word in the past using links. Rather than have a file name highlighted, that is, the intended displayed text label for a link, Word would show the path and file name in a pair of squared brackets. This turned out to be a setting in Worde, another of those Microsoft occasionally randomly turned on features. I had the devil of a time discovering the cause and just about the time I would forget the cause this feature would turn itself back on. Point is that it was not a JAWS setting or issue but a Word one. I again don't remember the final cause, something in the File menu I think and something among the print or page display options I think. I hope this is helpful and not a red herring, just that I spent a lot of time chasing down wrong paths and would have missed it without someone else figuring it out. I have since retired and no longer use that system.
