With JAWS running, hit CTRL+INSERT+F4 to get rid of the Office Assistant. Otherwise, open the Assistant dialog while the Assistant is still turned on, try hitting O to get into the Options menue, and tab over to something like Show Office Assistant, and uncheck it with your SPACEBAR. Tab to OK and hit ENTER.
