You can also use the JAWS command Control Insert V to get the version number. However, it tells you the version number, nothing else. It won't say Microsoft Word 2000 or XP or the like. Again, although knowing the version might be helpful, especially in situations where you need to communicate it to technical support, JAWS' SayAll works regardless if you're in Normal, Web or Print Layout view.
