Ylisha, I don't know about the windows but I've created documents on previous computers with other systems and the best way to preserve your document is to copy and paste it into a new word document. Exit out of the old document and save the new document by the same name. Jaws will ask you if you want to replace the existing document with the new one and just enter on yes. Good luck, Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: Alicia To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 8:50 PM Subject: word and jaws Hello, Everyone: I am using JAWS 7.0 and Word 2003. When I open a document that has been previously created and try to arrow down the document one line at a time JAWS does not read the document correctly. There will be pauses in speech and sometimes the words are partially read as if there is a window on the screen. I was told that the daughter window and the main window in Word has to be maximized for the document to read correctly. What does this mean?
