Laura,

Your problem is a Word setting one, not a JAWS setting one.  You need to
change the Word tracked changes view so that it does not show you
revisions (you need to set it to "final" in otherwords).

This is on the "reviewing" toolbar, so first, check under the View |
toolbars choice and make sure the reviewing toolbar is turned on.  Then,
access it and the first control is "display for review" and is a list
box with four choices; the one you want is "final" if you want to see
the document as it is, without seeing/hearing the changes others have
made.

Hth,

Chip
