Hi guis,
The latest JAWS build 12.0.1158 doesn't give me any trobbles on three computers 
I have tested it on.
Just doo a clean reinstall and it should be fine I guess.

With best regards,

Adi.

  I had this problem before. The all users jaws files for office are replaced 
with the jaws 12 files are are presenting a problem. Sometimes it would crash 
jaws too. The only way I could fix it was to delete those files and reinstall 
jaws 11.

    Hello list, 

     

    With all the trouble that the latest Jaws release (12.0.1158) has given me 
and others on these various slists, I have gone back to using Jaws 11 (11.0.1476

    I think it is) for now. Aside from the issues here and there that have been 
fixed in the newer JFW 12 releases, I'm satisfied with Jaws 11 over all. 

     

    There is one thing however that I am experiencing and because it's been so 
long since I've used JFW 11, I can't recall if this was present in Jaws 11 when

    it was still the newest build. 

     

    When I open a Word document, be it by launching MicrosoftWord itself or by 
composing an e-mail message through my Outlook 2003, I have difficulty with 
getting

    around the message field. 

     

    I can type in the subject field with no problems and can arrow back and 
forth by character, word etc, but when I'm in the message field for example, I 
can't

    seem to do anything. Jaws will just read the line of text that I'm on, but 
I am unable to arrow back and forth or up and down. Very similar if I had the

    virtual cursor turned off on a webpage. The same goes for when I've got a 
Word document open. I can type fine and dandy, but once I try using the various

    say all commands, It's almost completely a no go. The say all command 
works, but that's it. 

     

    I've tried switching the format from plane text to rtf to html and it 
doesn't make a difference. I've also tried going from the normal view to web 
etc in

    the view menu and still nothing. 

     

    Sometimes, and for no reason, everything will work fine and I can navegate 
text wit no problems, but the troubles explained above happen more often than

    not and because  of this, I'm finding myself using JFW 11 for pretty much 
everything, but when I have to type something or compose or respond to an 
e-mail,

    I'm switching between the two JFW versions. I can't figure out why 
sometimes things will work fine and others, it's just not happening. 

     

    Is anyone else experiencing this and if so, were they able to fix it? 

     

    I'm using Word 2003 and the Jaws versions mentioned above. 

     

    Thanks,
