Hi, I use AVG Free, and I don't notice any slowdowns when using any programme, never mind Word or Office for that matter. Hope that helps.

Hi again,
I am wondering what anti-virus program others are using who are having this same problem of JAWS slowing down in Word. I am using the latest update of NOD32 and I just shut off the spyware protection, since I also use SpySweeper anyway, and now things are working better with JAWS when typing in Word, so far at least! 

   Feedback, please!

   Don

Hi Don.
It's really strange, but when I open what I know to be a long document I can only read a few lines. However, if I do a search for something I know to be towards the end of the document, I find it no problems.

Hi Ron,
You are right about the Windows Updates. However, after I received the replies from Chris and Allan, I decided to download the setup file for Office Service Pack 3 and, when I tried to run that setup file, as I expected, it told me that I already had that installed.

Hi all.

I also have an issue with Jaws and Microsoft Word 2003 edition.
When I open a document the machine says co, but there is nothing on the screen. Then after typing for a few minutes, I cannot read what I have written.
As for the microsoft updates, don't these come automatically with Windows updates? 

Ron

Don, I suggest you check for the latest updates to Office. Service Pack 3 has been released, so you should update to that if possible. Hope that helps.

Hi,
If I start typing in a Microsoft Word document, JAWS works fine at first. However, after I have been typing for about 6 or 7 lines, JAWS slows down. What I mean is that JAWS is very slow to report each character I type. If I stop for a few moments, then it seems all right, but then JAWS starts slowing down again. I can also hear the hard drive winding, so something is happening.
This only happens with Microsoft Word and I am using Word 2003, Windows XP (home) and JAWS 8.0; it does not happen when I am typing an Outlook Express message and it doesn't happen when I am typing a WordPad document.
I tried shutting down both my anti-virus program and my anti-spyware program, but that didn't make any difference. 

   Can anyone help?

   Don --
