I used to have this, or a similar problem. I fixed my problem by setting Say All, under insert +V, to read by paragraph.

I tried maximizing the screen, this did not help, my bag of tricks was expended at this point. So I would appreciate your help on this new Jaws challenge. I am using Jaws 6.1 with Win XP home.
