I have a computer that is running Windows XP home, and it also has office XP home addition and Jaws 9.0. My issue is this. Jaws won't read my word files. It will read Excel files and e-mail messages just fine. I thought it was a problem with Word itself until I tried reading a word document with Jaws 8.0. The file read just fine. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Jaws 9.0 but it didn't help. Does anyone know what is causing Jaws 9.0 not to read my word files? Cheers. Geoff No virus found in this outgoing message.
