I had this problem with earlier versions of Jaws. But, it seemed it was fixed with Jaws 8. I have the latest update to 8 and haven't had any problems with writing in OE so far. I sure hope they haven't broken something they just fixed. It was real frustrating trying to edit messages when Jaws would miss things and stop talking.

When messages about this appeared on the list when others were first installing Jaws 8, I crossed my fingers and hoped nothing like this would happen to me, too when I finally installed it. Well, I have, and it has.I'll be writing an email message, with my window maximized, just to be sureit's clear that this isn't relevant), and as I try to edit and reread what I've been typing, Jaws will sometimes blank out and not speak some of the words, until I get tied up in knots trying to clean up the message and finish it. I think others were discussing this a month ago or so. What's the thing to do? Just in case someone thinks I'm using the wrong type of characters(that's never been a problem for me before; text or HTML alike have behavedjust fine, before now), I'm sending out messages in plain text only.
