Perhaps it might be worth chipping in here and explaining what this function is
actually for.
It is actually known as "Show/Hide" in Word, and visually is a small button on
Word's ribbon which looks like a backward facing capital letter P as in papa.
As well as displaying spaces, which as you know get spoken, it also display
other controls such as tabs, line breaks and hard returns and those too get
spoken.
In real terms, most users only need to see these if they wish to very carefully
check the formatting of a document which must look as perfect as possible.

Hi Alison,
I suspect you have turned on paragraph and space markers by mistake.
If you go into Word and press Control+Shift+8 on the top number row, then space
markers will be turned off. This is a toggle, so if you do it again, they will
be turned on again.
All the best
Steve

I'm using Jaws and don't know what setting I've changed but Jaws is reading
space marker all the time in MS Word between words. How do I switch this
feature off?
