Wren, Are you using Windows 7? JAWS 11 does seem to have some issues with Windows 7. I have JAWS 11.07 and have heard that JAWS 11.135 or whatever the latest is solved some of the problems but has spawned more. Losing focus seems to be a very common problem with JAWS 11 and Windows 7.

I had to reinstall JAWS a couple of times, because I could not get it to talk. I finally got it to work, with some help, but now it won't read my documents in Microsoft word. I have it set to save documents as compatability mode for word 20003. If I route the jaws cursor and use the jaws cursor keys, it will read the document. It will not read unless I do this. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. GOD BLESS, Wren
