Hi Cait. I'm glad to hear that. I prefer using Word as my E-mail editor which I am doing right now. I don't know why FS recommends not to as a general rule. Like I said, on this computer it works perfectly, but on another it doesn't but that is probably due to other JAWS reading difficulties I'm having in Word. After much troubleshooting, I strongly suspect that I've got a program or programs running on that computer that is in conflict With JAWS, perhaps McAfee or something, but how to locate the culprit has me stumped. Oh well. Computers. I have such a love/hate relationship with them.

One of the suggestions that I found interesting was that they do not recommend having MS Word set up as your editor for new messages in Outlook. Does anyone else find doing so a problem? On one computer having Word as the editor is a problem for me, but on another computer it works just fine. Granted, the difference is its Office XP that works fine and Office 2003 that doesn't.
