I thin the adjustments you might want to try are in the Microsoft Word domain.
Go into the "view" menu and set document view to "normal" by pressing enter on
it in the menu. When you have done that go back into the "view" menu and
locate "Zoom" and press enter, then press down arrow for 75 percent and press
enter. Now try reading the document, this usually helps.
There is no Jaws 7.5, if you do the following you will be able to report the
exact version number.
1 Press insert+J for Jaws window.
2 Press alt+h for "help" and then A for "about" Jaws.
You will have the version number read out to you on the next screen.

Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS missing syllables out
Hello, I've only just joined. So sorry if this has been discussed in-depth
before.
I'm using JAWS 7.5, and I've noticed it has a problem in Wordpad and Notepad
that I only noticed in Word with earlier versions. I updated my version of
Windows when I upgraded to JAWS 7.5, so I don't know if that has anything to do
with it.
After I start doing word processing and other tasks like cutting and pasting
or using the 'find' facility, it stops reading properly. It reads as if it's
missing syllables or letters out. Sometimes, it even misses out whole lines.
Yesterday, I was doing something where I had to cut and paste a lot, and it
started reading only one word on each line sometimes. If I cursor back or
forward letter by letter, it says blank where the letters it should be reading
are.
I can make it read allright for a little while for some reason by saving the
document, selecting text, or sometimes refreshing the screen and maximising the
document. But it soon goes back to the way it was before.
Recently, someone sent me instructions on how to optimise the display
settings, system settings and task bar and start menu settings for screen
readers. I made a few changes, but nothing helped. In fact, if anything, it's
worse.
So do you have any advice on what I can do?
Thank you.
Diana
