Jaws 6 not focusing on Word 2003 thesaurus

Subject line says it all. I just upgraded to Jaws 6, and at the same time
replaced my old Word 2000 with Word in Office 2003. With my old Jaws 4.51
and Word 2000, when I brought up the Thesaurus with Shift F7, Jaws focused
on the Thesaurus as precisely as it focused on the Word Spell Check.
But now, in this new configuration, pressing Shift F7 on a word does indeed
bring up a window or dialogue for the thesaurus on the right side of the
screen (I have only some peripheral vision, so I can see that this happens
though I can't read the dialogue's contents for lack of central vision).
But Jaws doesn't focus on the thesaurus at all. I've explored with the Jaws
cursor just to get an idea of how the Thesaurus dialogue looks, and it seems
to be a bit different in its particulars from previous versions. But this
is of no consequence one way or another if Jaws won't focus the virtual
cursor as it should so I can use the function.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it a bug in Jaws 6? Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel
