Hi
Well, I think this is a problem that cannot be solved, nobody seems to know
what is causing it.
I have had the problem with 4.5, 5 and 5.1.
I really don't know what is causing this, everything is working fine and
then for some reason jaws seems to switch into a different mode, whether
it is a particular keystroke that I am using I don't know.
My latest problem is this.
I use a simple template that I use to create documents.
Its something like this, A date at the top, 7 lines down I have the word
Name typed in. A couple of lines down on the right hand side is a telephone
number a couple of lines below that in the same position is our reference
number and two lines below that same line position is typed your Ref.
Several lines below that back on the left hand margin is the word Dear, I
hope you get the idea.
Ok I open the template and arrow down until Jaws announces Name, pressing
Num Pad 5 announces the letter N. I simply then type in the name and
address here and delete the word Name.
I now arrow down until I hear one of the next items on the right hand side,
say for instance your Ref, Pressing num pad 5 announces Y and I can move
along the word hearing each individual letter. I simply type in the
reference number and delete the words Your Ref. All very simple crude
stuff.
However since the latest version of Jaws 5 things work differently
concerning anything that is not on the left hand margin.
Using the same template I arrow down to Name and this is ok but when I arrow
down to your Ref Jaws announces the words but when I press num pad 5 jaws
says blank and whatever I do I cannot find these words, jaws just keeps
announcing blank, however , pressing the say line command announces the
words. I have now got to know that when I initially move down to the word
your ref the cursor is on the letter Y and it is ok to type in here. I have
found out that if I press num pad 5 twice quickly to announce Yankee I can
now move along the word with the likes of Oscar, uniform etc. So it appears
jaws is not recognising the letters but is recognising them when num pad 5
twice mode is switched on.
I have had a similar problem working in word within another program, much
the same as above but to find out where I an on the line I have to press num
pad 5 three times and then jaws will announce the character number for each
letter but will not announce the letter itself or the Oscar, uniform etc
node.
I hope some of this makes sense, I could go on but I wont for now.
Regards
Graham

Hi there Graham
I have had the same problem, I've tried screen refresh and it sometimes put
the words back but I also use my margin location quite a lot with my work.
I find if you type the first page, it says you are 1.27cm in from the edge,
because I use a hanging indent but as soon as you go over to page 2 it says
0, as you say wherever you are in the page. I have spoken to FS and they
say they can't see the problem. I know there is one because it didn't
happen with 5, only with 5.1

Trying againHi
Is anyone else experiencing navigation problems in word with the latest
version of Jaws.
I get in situations where I can read the line but I cannot navigate it by
character or word, jaws just announces blank although I know I am on a
letter.
I also get in a situation where when presseing Alt delete to find out where
I am on the line it announces 0cm from left and 0 cm from top this is
announced wherever I am on the line.
