Hi Graham,
 
This isn't of much help to you but I can also say I've experienced this
not only in Word tables but in Excel spreadsheets as well.
 
In saying that, I have just spent the last ten minutes tabbing around a
regular example I use in these  programmes, and sod's law, they both
navigate and read ok, I can't replicate it.
 
It's not something I've thought alot about as it obviously wasn't as
crucial as your experience but three things come to mind.
 
1: If Ram is in heavy use, have you tried closing all other windows?
 
2: View menu, adjust the zoom %?
 
3: In Word, does your table span beyond the width of the selected paper
size?
 
Sorry can't be of much help,
 
Robin

        Hi all.
         
        I use tables as part of a document template that I use in
connection with work.  I use this regularly and when JAWS 9 was first
released I noticed that when tabbing from column to column in the table,
JAWS tends to read information from the column I was previously in.
This problem still exists and it is so severe that I actually revert to
JAWS version 8.
         
        I just wanted to find out if anyone else is having this problem
reading Word 2003 tables in JAWS 9?
         
        Cheers
