  Don't know about the dog, but Farfar is Swedish for Grandfather. Became one 
approximately 24 days ago.

  So Office 2007 came out in 2007? Makes me wonder what MS is up to, doing 
things right twice in a row.

    Farfl (Wasn't that the name of the dog who sang the Nestles song?)
    I got Office 2007 in October of that year, sent out a cry for help and had 
to take the lotus position that everything comes to he who sits and waits and 
meditates.

      Samara, I wasn't implying that you didn't know what year it was. 
Microsoft has a reputation for releasing their Office 2xxx series out of sync 
with the actual calendar year.

      So I'm never really sure when any of the Office 2xxx offerings actually 
hit the store shelves.

      If 2010 is out, then they got it right, this time.

        Yes, I know 2010 is on the immediate horizon. Actually, it's been here 
for awhile. It's worth a look, and I actually do know what year it is, thanks.

          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.

          Dave

            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.

                        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?
