I've had this happen in notepad, Jaws 11 and a re-boot fixed it.

There have been times when I've seen a similar thing with Jaws 11 and 12.
I'm thinking it had to do with the presence of comments in the document I
was trying to read.
Try checking to see if track changes is turned on. If it is, turn it off and
see what you get.
If you have an earlier version of Jaws, say 9 or 10, try reading the
document with an earlier version.

Kimberly,
Great minds think alike. I tried that too.
