Hey all,

I have been using jaws9 with word 2007 successfully for a
month or so now.  However, today Jaws is now reading the
document position whenever I arrow or backspace.  So on a
downarrow for example I get:
"1 inch from left, 1.34472 inches from top" followed by the
line of text.  Anoying to say the least.  I tried a repair
install of Jaws, tried deleting the
current_user\software\microsoft\office\12 key from the
registry to clear office settings, no joy.  I did install
the Jaws 10 beta today just to play with but as I am not
licensed for 10, it runs in demo mode.  The 10 beta does
not exhibit this problem though.

Can anyone suggest a recourse here?  Did installing j10
somehow break my working 9.0 installation?  Moving in Excel
and other text editors works as expected.

Tia,
Shane
