hmmm, ok, as far as I know at this time, that can only be caused by a flaw 
developing in the program. 

what I would do is either 1 insert the disk for the version your running, or 2. 
download the executable installation for the version your running if not a 
newer one

and then run the file like your setting up for the first time. you should get a 
screen with choices, repair being one of them, start a repair and watch for the 
screen where it asks you if you wish to delete your user settings, say no, and 
try that to see if that fixes things

a note: I said say no to the deletion of the user files and settings, but it 
may be that they do need to be replaced, if so I apologize for taking you the 
long way through this, but I was trying not to make you have to go through the 
setting up of your jaws from scratch like you just installed for the first 
time.

  Hello Elf,

  Sorry, I'm been away from my pc. This happens in all programs, be it word or 
outlook. Whenever I want to edit or proof reading, control plus right arrow 
does not read anything but control plus left arrow works fine.

  Thanks


   

  Peace of the Lord be with you!

application, what are you trying to highlight etc.

    Happy new year to you all!

    I'm using Dell studio, win 7 and Jaws 12.

    Jaws reading keys: control plus right arrow sometimes works and some other 
times it doesn't.

    What might be the cause? Can anyone help?

    Thanks,
