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?
