Adrian,
You say "Jaws control stop?" Do you mean just the traditional press of the 
Control key to halt Jaws speaking? Or is there a combination keystroke that 
is designed to break off speech even more precisely than that? I confess, 
pressing the Control key, as I learned to do from the audiocassette 
tutorials that came with my first version of Jaws some years ago, has always 
served well enough. But maybe there's something more one can do, as I say? 
Or am I just misreading you? Because I do have some problems with it being 
difficult to navigate easily for editing in Word that I don't even wish to 
struggle to describe right now, and any trick that might help to tame Jaws 
more than I sometimes can manage will be appreciated.
Jaws being to

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply, and yes this does work after checking it
closer. Guess I wasn't using the Control key to stop Jaws reading or my
key board is warn out and must be changed. In fact I think this could be
causing me a lot of unfinished key strokes...thanks.
