Sherrie, I use Word 2000, also. Go into the Options dialogue under the Tools menu. Use control tab and shift control tab to move among the several pages of the dialogue to the View tab. Now tab through the list of items until you come into a short list of formatting marks that you can check or uncheck. When you come to paragraph marks, hit the space bar, because you'll probably have heard it say "checked," and you want to toggle this off. Now tab to OK, press Enter, and that should take care of it. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherrie Gosling" <sillygoose4@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 7:10 AM Subject: MS Word Jaws saying "New Paragraph" Hi, I am using an old version of MS Word 2000 on XP with latest update of Jaws. Every word document now says "New paragraph" to reflect every time I pressed the enter key in the original document. I assume I have accidentally turned on something to show formatting marks but I can't figure out how to turn it off since I did not intend to turn it on. I am really getting aggravated since I can't even read by paragraph without listening to the "New paragraph" over and over. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Even if you are using a newer version of Word maybe I can adapt the fix to my older version. By the way it did this before I upgraded to the latest version of Jaws so it is not an upgrade thing. Thanks in advance.
