Alan, You may not have done anything wrong. For whatever reason JAWS sometimes decides to either speak or not speak cut, paste, copy and several other commands. I have JAWS 11, W7, Office 2007 on a 64 bit HP Laptop.

What did I do wrong? Did I hit something to make JAWS not speak these commands? I am using JAWS 11 and XP-home. Thanks for any assistance.
