Hi List,

I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 with JAWS 9. Now JAWS is reading
"EndLink" every time at the end of a web link in an Outlook e-mail; very
annoying. It is also speaking "Link" at the start of an HTML link (as
expected), but it is using a different voice (unexpected).

The same e-mail reads fine under JAWS 8 or Office 2003; so the problem is
definitely the 2007/JAWS 9 combination. The e-mail also reads OK if read
from the browser. Any suggestions on how to turn off the "EndLink"?

BTW I also am having great difficulty getting the SayLine function to work
when an e-mail is formatted in HTML and extends past the window boundary;
the window will not scroll.

Thanks,
Pat
