Since your post was in response to mine.
Ahh, Debbie, my husband? Judy and I always thought she was a wife. But I
am definitely the boss, and I have her permission to say so.
Will try the double click as what you describe indeed is what happens.

Is it the menu bar, or a toolbar?
It's rare that the menu bar itself gets moved out of place, but it can
happen.
Here is a message I sent once about the menu bar being out of place in word.
it might be that your menu bar has gotten moved out of place. When you
first open word, do you hear menu bar, file edit view insert and all the
rest of the commands? If so, route jaws to PC and arrow down and use your
jaws cursor and see if you can actually locate in the document window where
it says menu bar and the menu commands. If you can then position your jaws
cursor anywhere in the words menu bar, not on the M but a little farther in,
and press the left mouse button twice quickly. This will cause it to go
back into place back at the top of the window where a menu bar belongs! If
your husband is around it might be worth it to have him take a look and see
if the menu bar is out of place.

I also tried to turn it off in MSWord but couldn't seem to nail the menu bar
that keeps cluttering the screen.

You mean the jaws insert V dialog to dock them all? I'm not surprised.
That is why I added
Or you can just go to the view menu, toolbars and uncheck any toolbars that
might be floating (keep standard and formatting checked).
Another thing you can do when you find a floating toolbar is left double
click it with the jaws cursor, that should cause it to dock in place.
They are a pain, that's for sure.

Debbie, this does not always work, at least on my machine it doesn't.

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).
