Isuspect you hit Insert s which loops around All, Highlighted and None
for theScreen Echo.  Set it to Highlighted.

Subject: Help! Everything's speaking in Jaws! Everything!

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.
