Hi Jewel,
You have to go to the View menu (ALT-V) then whack ENTER on Normal. This
unchecks print and checks normal however it does not always stick, you may
well have to do it next time you open a document.
Word is Weird that way, it seems to make a lot of presumptions about what
you may wish to do and although it gives you options it seems to think you
really didn't mean to select them. This is not really the fault of Jaws
except that Jaws is for blind people and when Word decides to do things the
way it wants, sighted people can see that and restore the desired behaviour
but Jaws doesn't know you didn't mean it to have changed.
If it is of any consolation to any of you, I work in an environment where we
are moving over to Word from WordPerfect because of the prevalence of
Microsoft in the general market place and the cost of keeping network
licenses for two major word processing applications. My sighted colleagues
dislike Word more than I do.

Subject: Unchecking boxes on the menu bar
Jaws 4.51 makes a real hash of reading word documents. As long as I haven't
pressed a key, it will read the text, but as soon as I have the unmitigated
gall to type as much as one letter, it gives up. If I press insert down
arrow for "Say all" it will read, but the up and down cursor keys just
produce blank--blank--blank ad nauseam and finitum.
I have a suspicion, and I may be well astray of the mark, that unchecking
the print layout box may have the desired effect of having jaws read the
text, as I have paid it to do! However, how does one remove the tick?
Pressing the spacebar won't do it!
Jewel
