If you are using Jaws 7.0 or 7.1, you can set it in the insert V verbosity
options.
Or you can just go to the view menu, toolbars and uncheck any toolbars that
might be floating (keep standard and formatting checked).
Floating Toolbars
Some toolbars in Word "float" over the document edit window. Floating
toolbars are sometimes difficult to access with the keyboard and can obscure
document text. Therefore, JAWS automatically docks all floating toolbars in
Word. Once a toolbar is docked, you can access it using the commands
described previously(which is alt key then control tab to the toolbar).
