Dave,
"JFW 9.0 just sucks!"
I've had some of the same sentiments, but for other reasons. I have gone back
to JAWS 8 because the "benefits" of JAWS 9 just seem to be minor, compared to
its flaws.

Definately nothing to do with it, I'm running office XP. All the symptoms
reported today on the list are the same as mine. JFW 9.0 just sucks!
I've looked for a fix in the knowledge base, but nothing.

Dave,
Have you contacted FS? I think that JAWS 9 is now operating on Office 2003
an d2007, and they have left 2002 behind. See if that's a possible problem.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for that, but I don't see why we should have the hassle of doing
these extra tasks? Yet again, they make it more complex and it falls down on
the basics!
Please, please FS just get the basics right because I really don't want
to consider Window Eye's!

Hello Dave,
I've experienced somewhat the same problems as you. To circumvent the
issue at hand, I've learned to do one (or several) of the following:
Firstly, maximize by Alt/space bar and hitting X.
Secondly, Turning off JAWS by Insert/F4, then turning it on again by
Control/Alt/J.
Thirdly, when typing in a Microsoft Word document, I found that
sometimes the arrow keys just didn't work to review what was written. The
other day this happened when a sighted person was present. They related the
cursor was way off to the right of the screen in the white area. I simply hit
Home or the number 7 (Home) on the Num Pad to return the cursor to the text.
Why it decides to leave the field of the text, I haven't a clue, but I think
perhaps it is a problem FS has to address. I'm working in Microsoft Word 2002.
This is only one of many problems experienced, the major being the lethargy of
JAWS after the computer is on for several hours. To date, I have received no
solution for this aggrevating problem.
Best Wishes,
Larry

Further to my earlier message regarding JFW 9 crashing, another
symptom is that it will not read a text document after running for several
minutes. It needs to be re-booted in order for it to read the edit area once
more?
Thanks,
Dave
