To be honest, I've heard so many problems with the latest JAWS 8 updates
that it has actually put me off getting the latest updates. I have to
say I'm very happy with JAWS 8.0.423 demo, with the exception of the
annoying virtual cursor issue. However, we just have to lump it and like
it I guess <smiles>. Glad you've decided to stick with JAWS 8.0.423. By
the way, I use Word 2003 with it a lot and I've not experienced blank
lines when writing or reading documents. Hope that helps.
