use the following.
Alt plus a down arrow. I don't know why it works, but love the feature.
Also maximize your MS Word window.
Alt plus space and then X and things should be hunky dorey.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] blank blank blank blahs
Dear Volunteers,
Yes, I know. No surprise. I have another computer question.
While attempting to independently validate away with RTF files using windows
xp, Jaws, 6.1, and microsoft word, I have a problem which to me seems very
arbitrary and slows down my validating so much.
It seems random that for some lines jaws says blank instead of reading the
words. If I didn't have my very little vision in one eye, I'd think words
were missing. I can't read the small print on my computer screen but can
usually tell there is writing there so I know there are no blanks where jaws
is saying blank.
I've tried some made up remedies in desperation. Sometimes these so called
blank lines allow me to read them character by character. If I delete a word
and type it back in again, the line magically allows itself to be read. This
is a slow process and unreliable.
When all I get are blanks, I try inserting and then removing spaces, I know
not where and sometimes the line becomes readable.
Sometimes, I note a word so I can find my place and shut down when nothing I
try gets jaws to stop saying blank at me. I've even opened a file only to
hear jaws say blank for all of it. sometimes alt tabbing around to other
open programs helps but strangely, alt fouring the program, going back to
the desktop and highlighting it and reopening it doesn't often work in which
case a reboot is my only recourse.
Can anyone help with this? I've set myself some long, detailed validations,
as well as some short, fun ones and this is such a counterproductive
reoccurring problem.
With many thanks and
Always with love,
Lissi
