Hi All,

Well, we've had all kinds of discussion about how Jaws will just quit reading 
when in say all mode in outlook express.  I've maximized the window, I've 
started reading from the top... I've done all the tricks I can think of, and 
Jaws still stops reading.  I was looking to see if there is anything that may 
trigger Jaws to just stop reading for no reason, and I've noticed something.
It seems to me that the thing that causes Jaws to get hung up while reading are 
blank lines.  I was reading an article from our local paper that I had copied 
and pasted into an E-mail for a friend.  As I read the article in outlook, it 
would just stop reading.  So, I started to look at what might be around the 
area 
where it stops reading.  The one constant was that the place that it stopped 
was 
right above a blank line.  so, I would arrow down past that blank line and do 
the say all mode again.  Then it would just stop.  You guessed it, another 
blank 
line.  so, when there is  double spacing in E-mails, it seems that Jaws will 
not 
ignore the blank lines and keep reading right through.
I'm not sure that this is the only reason Jaws stops reading in mid stream, but 
it seems to be one of them.    Jack
