Hi, and thanks to all for your suggestions.
I will give them a try, and report back.
My tables are in word, so will give some of your suggestions a go.
Thanks.
Sharon

Hi Sharon,
In addition to what others recommended, I have additional recommendations. I
also experience Jaws crashing when using large spreadsheets with lots of
calculations. This was happening with all versions of Jaws so I doubt that
going to earlier Jaws versions would help. When you say tables? Where are
these tables? In MS word or in an web page? I recommend the following in no
particular order:
1. Is your PC short on RAM? Try having 16GB.
2. Assuming the tables are in Word, try upgrading to the latest version of
Office and, 3. Get a 64 bit version of Office.
I noticed a slight improvement in performance when I installed a 64 bit
version.
Also, when Jaws crashes on my large spreadsheets, I just restart Jaws. I did
not have much luck with substituting Jaws for Narrator or NVDA.
HTH

Subject: [jaws-uk] Jaws Crashing in large Tables
Hi,
Wonder if someone could advise me.
I'm an audio typist, and a lot of my work involves large tables, over 350
rows.
I have recently experienced jaws being very slow to respond when my tables
get over 300 rows, and crashing. I am not sure if it's jaws or word, but
think it's jaws.
I'm using jaws 22, latest version, and office 2016.
Wonder if anyone could help, as it's frustrating when I have to keep
restarting the pc, type a bit more then start again.
I have tried to restart jaws, but it just doesn't seem to respond.
Thanks.
Sharon
