Hi Ken, I'm afraid I can't help, but my set-up is the same as yours, and I have been experiencing exactly the same problem sincing installing Jaws 9. Reverting back to Jaws 8, correctly showed the dialog boxes. However, I prefer the other benefits of 9, so I am just putting up with things. But, like you, I'd be interested in a possible solution to the problem.

The interactive part of dialogue boxes in Word are all saying blank, even when I know there is something there. This is most noticeable when I select "Save As". It says the file name is blank, but I know there is a name in the box. This is particularly tricky if I want to edit the existing name, eg to create version 2 of the same file. Also noticed the same problem in tables, when the number of rows and columns in the tables set up box reads as blank, but these always have some actual value there. Can anyone suggest what I need to do here? Thanks, Ken No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
