I think what you're dealing with is the Task Pane, which can certainly be =
a pain.  To turn it off (for the most part), do the following:

1)  ALT+T to open the Tools Menu.

2)  Type O to open the Options dialog box.  You should be in the View Tab =
with the focus on the option for start up the Task Pane.  Make sure this =
is not checked.

The Task Pane may still appear from time to time, depending on what tasks =
your are performing, but it shouldn't be as annoying.

If it does appear and you need to zap it again, go to the View Menu, arrow =
down to the Task Pane option and make sure it is unchecked.  This is a =
temporary fix that only works if the Task Pane is turned off in the View =
Tab of the Options Dialog Box.

HTH!

Hello, Everyone:
First of all I am running Microsoft Word 2003 on an XP machine with JAWS =
8.0. AS I am using Word the menu bar will suddenly appear in the middle of =
the screen, making it difficult to finish what I am working on. Does =
anyone know if there is a way of locking that menu bar to the top of the =
page and making it stay there? It seems as if there is a gremlin in my =
computer moving things around on me and I don't always have someone =
sighted around to drag the menu bar up to the top of the page. Thanks for =
any assistance you can give me in clearing this problem up.

Thanks,

Alicia
