Of course not. You need to learn to let things go, Doug. Don't live in the past 
-- move on with life.

  Could he rewrite that message to include the whole text?  I'm confused about 
"Cye 2007."  Thanks.

        Hi,

        I am using JAWS 11.01476 with both XP, Office 2003 and W7 64 bit and 
Officthe left or right button might be locked? This sometimes causes all kinds 
of stupid stuff to take place.

        Cye 2007 and do not see this problem.

        One question, is there a possibility that

        Hello list, 

         

        With all the trouble that the latest Jaws release (12.0.1158) has given 
me and others on these various slists, I have gone back to using Jaws 11 
(11.0.1476

        I think it is) for now. Aside from the issues here and there that have 
been fixed in the newer JFW 12 releases, I'm satisfied with Jaws 11 over all. 

         

        There is one thing however that I am experiencing and because it's been 
so long since I've used JFW 11, I can't recall if this was present in Jaws 11 
when

        it was still the newest build. 

         

        When I open a Word document, be it by launching MicrosoftWord itself or 
by composing an e-mail message through my Outlook 2003, I have difficulty with 
getting

        around the message field. 

         

        I can type in the subject field with no problems and can arrow back and 
forth by character, word etc, but when I'm in the message field for example, I 
can't

        seem to do anything. Jaws will just read the line of text that I'm on, 
but I am unable to arrow back and forth or up and down. Very similar if I had 
the

        virtual cursor turned off on a webpage. The same goes for when I've got 
a Word document open. I can type fine and dandy, but once I try using the 
various

        say all commands, It's almost completely a no go. The say all command 
works, but that's it. 

         

        I've tried switching the format from plane text to rtf to html and it 
doesn't make a difference. I've also tried going from the normal view to web 
etc in

        the view menu and still nothing. 

         

        Sometimes, and for no reason, everything will work fine and I can 
navegate text wit no problems, but the troubles explained above happen more 
often than

        not and because  of this, I'm finding myself using JFW 11 for pretty 
much everything, but when I have to type something or compose or respond to an 
e-mail,

        I'm switching between the two JFW versions. I can't figure out why 
sometimes things will work fine and others, it's just not happening. 

         

        Is anyone else experiencing this and if so, were they able to fix it? 

         

        I'm using Word 2003 and the Jaws versions mentioned above. 

         

        Thanks,
