I experienced the same thing and found a menu bar on the screen. If I double left click the menu bar it disappears and all works well until I open MSWord again.

My work around with Word is to close the document and then reopen it and ensure that it is maximized. When composing a message in Outlook, I press ESC and select Yes to save a copy of the message. I then go to the Drafts folder and reopen the message and everything will work fine. This has happened to me with Jaws 5.0 and 6.2 on both Windows 2000 and XP.
