All 3 applications are independent of each other and can be configured as s=
uch. Notepad and Wordpad are very basic and do not have the range of featu=
res that Word has. If Jaws is struggling to read properly, it could be a p=
roblem with the graphics card in your computer, so if you can find out what=
it is and let the list know, we may be able to check if there are any know=
n problems.

I've tried experimenting with various zoom and view settings when Word has=

Wordpad and Notepad?
Thanks.

I thin the adjustments you might want to try are in the Microsoft Word=20
domain.
Go into the "view" menu and set document view to "normal" by pressing enter=
=20
on it in the menu. When you have done that go back into the "view" menu an=
d=20
locate "Zoom" and press enter, then press down arrow for 75 percent and=20
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 th=
e=20
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.

Hello, I've only just joined. So sorry if this has been discussed in-dept=
h=20
before.
I'm using JAWS 7.5, and I've noticed it has a problem in Wordpad and=20
Notepad that I only noticed in Word with earlier versions. I updated my=20
version of Windows when I upgraded to JAWS 7.5, so I don't know if that has=
=20
anything to do with it.
After I start doing word processing and other tasks like cutting and=20
pasting or using the 'find' facility, it stops reading properly. It reads a=
s=20
if it's missing syllables or letters out. Sometimes, it even misses out=20
whole lines. Yesterday, I was doing something where I had to cut and paste =
a=20
lot, and it started reading only one word on each line sometimes. If I=20
cursor back or forward letter by letter, it says blank where the letters it=
=20
should be reading are.
I can make it read allright for a little while for some reason by saving=
=20
the document, selecting text, or sometimes refreshing the screen and=20
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=20
settings, system settings and task bar and start menu settings for screen=20
readers. I made a few changes, but nothing helped. In fact, if anything,=20
it's worse.
So do you have any advice on what I can do?
Thank you.
Diana
