Dear Moti,
I really appreciate your finding these tips, but I have not been having any 
trouble at all with Jaws and Word.  I thought I explained that.  I only was 
curious about the technical reason for the old recommendation of shrinking 
the Word display to 75 per cent of normal, and Francis explained it just 
now.

In any case, you are very generous to provide these suggestions.  I think 
they may be helpful to others.

TohDa raBah,
Daniel
