Robert and others, I too have had some trouble with MS word reading while editing documents. I purchased the Word Wise 2000 book from National Braille Press. That book is great! One of the chapters discusses how screen clutter can interfere with JAWS in word. It gives recommended settings in the various menus to get rid of some of the clutter. When I made those setting changes, things were much better. The changes are too numerous to mention here. I hope this helps. Now I have a problem. My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I had to reinstall everything. Now my Microsoft word takes forever to load. Do I need to remove it and reinstall it, and will I be able to install it myself. Does JAWS talk a person through the installation of MS word? Thanks.
