Hey I just tried this scenario using Magic, which uses Eloquence speech 
engine just like JAWS does, and NOT ONLY did it crash Eloquence, it also 
froze my screen! Here is what I did.

I opened Word and pulled up a blank screen. I typed in a simple sentence 
such as "now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their 
country." And then I continued typing "I want to type the word" (and then I 
put in the word c a e s u r e without all the spaces, and after the word 
finished the sence with the phrase "to see what happens."

When I read it back using document reader, so that I could see on screen 
which word the system was reading, Eloquence crashed all right, but it 
crashed ahead of the word "c a e s u r e ". In fact, it crashed on the word 
"the" as in "the word" before the oddly spelled word.

this leads me to suspect the problem is somehow related to this word getting 
into the buffer and therein lies a clue to the cure.

I will send this info on to FS.

I have not tried this directly with JAWS but I can now corroborate that this 
problem also exists in Magic.
