Hi Tom,

JAWS 9 is definitely causing the copied material from the body of an E-mail message to be different. I made an online purchase and, when I received my receipt via E-mail, I copied it to my clipboard; however, when I pasted this into a Word document, JAWS wasn't reading the entries in the fields, just the field names.

Then, someone suggested that JAWS now treats columns differently, as if this were a spread sheet. So, I Tabbed after reading a field name and the entry, such as my name or the price, was there. When I unloaded JAWS 9 and went back to JAWS 8, everything worked the way it used to work.

   Hope this helps,

   Don

Subject: Version 9 and MS word


After copying text from the body of a message in Outlook Express to a MS Word document I am hearing things like "graphic spacer underline 1 x 1 dot gif" and "graphic table underline corner underline l 10 x 36 dot gif" when trying to read the word document. What is this and how do I get rid of it? I tried experimenting with the verbosity settings in Word but was not able to change whatever it is. Apparently these lines are not really there as I can't copy them or even navigate them one letter at a time.
Tom
