This can happen if you open word documents which are email attachments, and then you close the email (if I remember right), but leave Word and the document open. It's not the fault of jaws I wouldn't think, but you did say Word 2000 right? That's pretty old, and if there's a bug in the word 2000 scripts, maybe they haven't fixed it. I'd certainly consider updating to word 2003.
