Samara,

At this point, why not send an E-Mail to support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and see 
what they say?

I can't think of why any newer version of JAWS wouldn't work with an older 
version of Word. After all, we're not talking about the operating system being 
that old.

BTW did you say what the operating system was?

Dave

  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?
