Thanks for the advice. That setting was already turned on for HTML and
was not available for Word. The screen itself is tracking just fine to
the cursor, it just seems like the cursor doesn't move as the text is
being read. Perhaps I am trying to find settings in JAWS that don't
exist.
Thanks again,
Derek Binkley

I don't know if this option will show up in Word, but in the html
settings (Configuration Manager, Settings, HTML settings, Misc tab)
there is a box "Screen track virtual cursor" That setting also shows
up in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog (JAWS+V). However it would not
surprise me if zoom text and jaws would fight over cursor control if
you were to try this. Also, that tracking setting is on by default.
Beyond that I'm not sure what to tell you.
