Other things are as you suggested, but I could not uncheck "mark up". I tried doing it by pressing space bar, but it didn't work.

It sometimes work if you read the document in normal view. choose normal from the view menu. make sure only the standard and formatting toolbars are checked under the view menu and make sure mark up is unchecked under the view menu as well. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gezim Sent: 27 March 2006 01:27 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Problem with MS Word and JAWS Hi list, I've been experiencing a kind of strange problem with MS Word. Basically, the problem is that I cannot read properly in a Word document, for instance, even if I try to arrow down, JAWS will get stuck and only read the line on which it was focussed, not allowing me to read the lines below. However, if I am at the end of the document, then I can arrow up and read the text from bottom to top. Until now I was using JAWs 6 and once I dowloaded demo version of JAWS 7, which proved to work properly with Word, and which made me decide to purchase JAWS 7. Now today I installed JAWS 7, but the problem with Word has remained exactly the same. I am using Word 2003. I am frustrated because on Tuesday morning I have to take a translation test for a job!
