I think there may have been a post on this about a year ago, before I belonged to the list; however, the post pertained to JAWS 11. I'm now using JAWS 12 (not the *58* build). We have confirmed that JAWS does not release all Outlook processes when Outlook is closed. The result is that the next time Outlook (I'm talking from Office 2003) opens, an error message is produced, and Outlook is highly unstable, crashes in a matter of moments, and then won't start properly -- most of the time. I can avoid all of the above simply by turning JAWS off and then unloading Outlook. Similarly, JAWS needs to be unloaded when I start Outlook. I've spent most of the day on this problem. The above work-around is certainly not optimal. Freedom Scientific reports that this has not been a problem with JAWS 12. The recommendation is that I load the *58* build. Wondering if anyone on the list has ever encountered anything like this. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bissett, Tom Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 2:48 PM To: 'jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: excel Hi, Is there a way to turn off the type ahead or what ever it is called in excel 2003.
