Judy, everything is working normally for you although it may seem to be a
nuisance.  What is happening and as you observed, Jaws and Word recognize
the word touching the punctuation mark, reading that and then as you move to
the right, reads you the same thing again as your focus moves to the
punctuation mark.  As I understand it, it is a Word issue and not a Jaws
issue.  So get used to it.

valuable information from your postings.
> My question: I am running Windows XP home, with Word 97, and the latest
version of JAWS.  When I am reading by word in a document, it reads fine
until I come to a punctuation and then it reads the word twice. The first
time it reads the word, the cursor positions itself before the comma.  Using
the Insert 6 again, it says the word again and positions the cursor after
the comma or on the next word.
