I am sure glad to here that I am not alone with this problem. I questioned the people at tech support and they said that they had noone else complaining of this problem, but when my friend said she was having the same problem, I began to wonder about it not being just me. Sure hope it can be fixed soon, as it is a real problem and very time consuming to go back and double check everything. ---- Original Message ----- From: Patricia To: JAWS users list Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 12:35 PM Subject: re: JAWS leaving out letters in the middle of words I thoguht maybe it was my laptop or something being strange, but my version of JAWS does the same thing, leaving out letters....
