Hi Ford,
I don't have to reboot my computer often, but there are a number of
situations in which I do have to exit Jaws and relaunch it in order to get
it to work, as in an open email of New York Times headlines and links, which
won't be active and clickable unless I do this while in the open message.
But this hassle was just that I pressed Insert S without knowing it, and
that's a toggle that temporarily overrides the setting in Configuration
Manager, Settings, Text processing that is set to "Highlighted" and can make
it none or all. A few people have clued me in about this, and I corrected
the problem.
Thanks for responding. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Joel

Try a quick reboot. I've had something similar happen in the past and
either exiting Jaws or a reboot solves the problem.

This never happened to me before, and I hope there's a simple way to
turn it off. I was just in a Word document that I was editing, and for
no reason I can remember I accidentally hit the jaws key (insert key on
my desktop) and something around the upper left of my keyboard. Maybe it
was the letter A, in fact that's what I feel as if it was.
Well, whatever I did, all of a sudden jaws began speaking everything
from announcing my menu line, the clock every time it changes, the Word
measurements in inches now and then, and mysterious numbers now and then
like 1 or 4 or whatever,. I closed that document and came here into
Outlook Express to compose this plea for help, and even here jaws is
speaking every screen element is can find, speaking my every keystroke
no matter that I use Insert 2 to toggle it to words as I usually keep it
set, and so forth. I can hardly hear myself time because it's always
speaking everything I type, individual characters and then words and ten
whole lines and I just can't do anything to stop it.
Help. I'm hoping there's just one key combo I must have pressed while in
Word that set this off, and I am hoping dearly that it's a toggle so I
can stop all this crazy racket.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. it doesn't do any of this when I'm just reading what I've typed.
But if I'm typing, it starts all over again. if that's a clue to
someone.
