  Adrian and Samara:

  I did a google search for MS Office 2003 and came up with a number of sites 
where you can buy it.

  HTH

    People report that you can buy Office 2003 on eBay. 

    Samara, if you're going to upgrade, consider going the whole hog and 
dealing with Office 2007/2010. See other lister suggestions in recent days for 
how 2007 can be made to operate like 2003. That's a fall-back position.

    Samara,

    Okay, but don't know if you can buy Office 2003 any more. 2007 has been out 
for a couple years, and 2010 is already on the immediate horizon.

      Aww. Thank you for your help, though. I've got word pad. I can make do 
with that until I figure out what to do or scrape up the money for office 2003. 
Or even just MS word 03. Laughs.

      Again, thank you.

        Samara 
        I cannot think where else to look in Jaws help then.  From my years as 
a trainor of Assistive technology, I looked to see if I had some old help files 
on Word for 97 and I must have cleared them all out.

        I did that, but it just said all that was for word 2000 to 2007. Do you 
think I should look deeper?

          Samara Just a reminder, the jaws help system may have some helpful 
hints and ways to improve performance of Word 97.  Use the keystroke insert key 
plus F1 pressed twice quickly to bring up 
          the list of popular programs.  If you invoke this command while 
within the word program, in the tree view, you will be on "word".  Press enter 
on word and use the F6 key to read the help topic.  Note there will be links to 
things like helpful hints, jaws hot keys and possibly setting up word 97.
          John

          Awww. It didn't work. But it's 97, not 07. Sighs. It was worth a shot 
though.

            Hello there;

            well, I assume it's MSWord 2007, on a XP machine.

            open MSWorde, now, alt+v=view, and make sure that, normal is 
checked.
            also, make sure your screen is maximized.
            ANOTHER THING YOU CAN TRY IS,

            OPEN MSWord,
            alt+v=view,
            up arrow and enter on, zoom....
            you want to set the zoom at 75%.

            I hope this helps.

              Thanks. It's word 97.

              Crestfallen look.

              I don't think jaws works with that one, does it?

                Samara,

                Press Alt+h to open the help menu. Then arrow until you hear 
"about" then Enter. You may need to use the JAWS cursor but the version will be 
in that dialog.

                Dave

                  I just got my mom's desktop and there's microsoft word on it. 
I know it's an older version, but I don't know how to find out which one it is. 
When I type and backspace, all jaws says is "blank". When I try and read the 
text with the arrow keys, it's the same thing. It's as though I've written 
nothing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong? Meanwhile, I'll 
try and continue to find out what version this is. Are there earlier versions 
that don't work with jaws 10?
