Hi There are lots of ways of dealing with this problem. There are JAWS script-based ways of doing it, which can either be activated via a function call automatically or manually via a script. My favourite way is of course automatically. If you would like a script to do this, I can let you have the code so that you can press a keystroke each time you want Word optimised for accessibility, I.E. normal view will be set, toolbars deactivated and zoom ratio set to 75 per cent. There is also the Word Macro way of implementing this functionality which is faster but is less automatic. You will probably need to press a keystroke to activate the macro. If you are not comfortable with creating macros, or jaws scripts, please write to me off list with the version of jaws you have and I will see what I can do to help. It'll only take me a few minutes. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tristram Llewellyn Sent: 22 May 2006 12:17 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: problems in word. After you have made your changes to the view, save the document. Unfortunately there is no way to lock the view in MS Word, it can change if you retrieve another document that has been saved with a different set of view settings, However if all the documents are authored by yourself and you save them with your prefferred settings then (over time at least) the view will not change. Another suggestion is to open a blank document and make the view changes you need. Then press alt+F and down arrow to "page setup" and press enter. Then tab to the "default" button and press spacebar on it. You will be asked if you wish to make changes to the "normal.dot" template, answer "yes". This way you will start out with the correct settings on new documents. Regards.

Org Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 5:16 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] problems in word. Good Afternoon All, I wonder if any of you could help me please. When I am in word, and I have checked the normal in the view menu, and then go out and back in again later, I find that it has returned to print view, and this also happens when I remove the check box from ruler it appears again when I go in to word later. If any one could help me I would be most grateful.
