That is a weird one. Possibly the system wasn't getting the keystrokes right away. Does it happen all the time?

When in Outlook 2007 and reading full document if you attempt to adjust the speech rate using the pg up and pg down nothing appears to happen - until - you stop the reading process and *then* the rate change will take effect. I kept pressing the pg up and nothing was happening so I pressed the 5 on numpad and, WALLAk, JAWS was reading at about a million words per minute.
