Hi, I have not encountered that problem with JAWS 4.50 or 4.5119 or with JAWS 5.0884 in Word and I edit a lot. However in Word and I have reported this to F S, there are specific points on a given page in reading research documents that when uparrowing, JAWS will go silent and sometimes unload totally. I can usually reproduce this on the same page but not every page of similar layout or style. I think JAWS 4.5119 is extraordinary software and as some others have said outshines JAWS 5.0 or 5.0884. have a great day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul J.
