Re: Can JAWS damage Word files?

It's doubtful. JAWS doesn't have access to any files on your system that 
aren't related to the program itself. It doesn't manipulate files. Files 
manipulate the program. It's entirely likely that, when your work PC 
crashes, it attempts to back up the files first and is, possibly, 
unsuccessful. The fact that they are able to be restored suggests this is 
probably the most likely solution. Unless a program itself is trying to use 
the same resources as JAWS, for instance another screen reader, JAWS 
shouldn't conflict.
