yes jaws works very well with Microsoft word
if you open word, even a blank document and hit any of the jaws help key combo's (insert and F1 twice quickly, insert and H, or insert and W) you will get a large number of keystrokes with jaws for word.
also do not forget that many things can be done in word with keyboard shortcuts even without a screen reader, cut copy and past are windows and MS Word shortcuts not jaws shortcuts, and work in almost any Microsoft application as well as many many programs geared to run on a windows machine. 

if you need more help, just ask, smile!

Another option is to switch the voice scheme.
JAWS key plus Alt Plus S will announce colors as you read. Well, actually, it will give you a list of reading scheme voices, at least one of which will 
announce colors.
That will allow you to read the entire text and have jaws pick and announce 
the colors as the cursor moves over the text.
The color changes will be announced as you read line-by-line.
Be sure you pick a scheme from the list that announces the colors. I think 
"Classic with Colors" is one of the choices.

Hi All,
I am using JAWS 12, word 2010, and Windows 7 64 bit system. How can I find different colored text in my word document? For example, someone sent me a document and some of the names on the document are in blue. How can I find 
the blue text using JAWS?  Thanks in advance!
