Well, I'm afraid I have the latest and greatest version downloaded from the
FS site, myself, and that's what's doing all these unhappy things I've been
reporting. Right now, I've loaded Jaws 7 instead, just so I can stop
spending part of my working day exploring and discovering the various quirks
and faults of version 8. I'm getting exhausted from this stuff. And I'm not
one of the folks who continually reports Jaws problems of this type, all the
time. I've always been thankful that I haven't suffered most of the glitches
I've heard others complain of on the list since I subscribed to it, but,
well, here we go. My lucky charm isn't working anymore, I guess. :-(

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.
