Hi,
Sometimes while editing an email using outlook express 2003, a particular 
word will not be read by jaws. While arrowing over the word I will notice 
that some letters have been replaced by a blank. this may encompass many 
letters or the whole word. Lets say the word is accessible. I will hear a, 
c, c, blank blank blank i, b, l, e or something like that. I can remove the 
word but the problem still persists.

I have tried to use the refresh keys of insert + esc to see if that works 
but not usually. Sometimes highlighting the word has work, but not always.

I primarily use the html settings for creating emails and this problem does 
appear before and after using spell check on the email.

the screen is maxamized. All display settings seem correct. using jaws 7.1 
on an xp pro system with all the updates. I have used jaws 8 and it seems 
not to matter.

Thanks for all the help.
