Do you have word set to start at start up? Also, when I want a document, lets say "phone directory" all I have to do is hit the windows key, the letter P and jaws will read the other often used documents starting with the letter P in an instant access folder and my phone directory will open. This feature stores about 20 often used documents. At any rate, word should be set to open at start up so you can access whatever document you want be it by the instant access feature or from your "my documents" folder. hth, Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Troy Burnham" <tburnham@xxxxxxxxx> To: "jfw" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 11:35 PM Subject: opening a Word document in MSWord 2000 using Jaws > Hi All, > If I open Word 2000, then find the file that I want to open and hit enter on > it it opens without a problem and I can read it without a problem, however > if I don't open Word first and just hit enter on the file say from Windows > Explorer I have to close Jaws and restart it once Word opens and brings up > the document or else I can't arrow up and down in the document. > > I'm assuming that this is a Jaws problem although I can't pinpoint when this > all started, can anybody tell me why if I open Word first and then pull up > the document I can read it without a problem but if I hit enter on the > document and let Word open automatically I have to restart Jaws before I can > read the document? > > Thanks. > Troy > > > > -- > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
