Insert - S is a toggle between all, none, and highlighted. I think that that might be what you accidentally hit.

This never happened to me before, and I hope there's a simple way to turn itoff. I was just in a Word document that I was editing, and for no reason Ican remember I accidentally hit the jaws key (insert key on my desktop) andsomething around the upper left of my keyboard. Maybe it was the letter A, in fact that's what I feel as if it was. Well, whatever I did, all of a sudden jaws began speaking everything from announcing my menu line, the clock every time it changes, the Word measurements in inches now and then, and mysterious numbers now and thenlike 1 or 4 or whatever,. I closed that document and came here into Outlook Express to compose this plea for help, and even here jaws is speaking every screen element is can find, speaking my every keystroke no matter that I use Insert 2 to toggle it to words as I usually keep it set, and so forth. I canhardly hear myself time because it's always speaking everything I type,individual characters and then words and ten whole lines and I just can't doanything to stop it. Help. I'm hoping there's just one key combo I must have pressed while in Word that set this off, and I am hoping dearly that it's a toggle so I can stop all this crazy racket. Thanks in advance.P.S. it doesn't do any of this when I'm just reading what I've typed. But ifI'm typing, it starts all over again. if that's a clue to someone. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwAlternative archives located at: http://n2.nabble.com/JAWS-for-Windows-f2145279.htmlIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
