MessageIt happens in word. I'll try the zoom control later when it happens,
and it will! Then I'll hang around waiting for Freedom to do their thing. I
might be wishing for cows to fly but where there is life there is hope! Judith

Judith,
No, it doesn't happen often at all.
One suggestion I have is what I do for my work machine occasionally, but it
doesn't sound like this is the same issue you are having.
When the automatic time out process is invoked, and I press ALT CTL Delete
to verify my password, only some areas of the screen are read. I have got in
the habit of closing JAWS with Insert F4 and using the hot key I set (CTL, ALT,
J) to bring it right back up.
What application are you in when this happens? Does it matter?
If like in the case of WORD, if a VIEW menu is available, be sure you have
Normal checked. Also at the bottom of the View Menu is a Zoom option in many
applications. Set this to 100% or 75%. It may drive sighted people nuts, but
often JAWS plays nicer with these settings.
Always,
Barbara Anne

The same thing happened just now even though I hit the restore button. Any
more suggestions? Does this happen often on your computer?

Judith,
I have done a restore in such cases and mostly it helps.
The restore button can be located along side the Minimize and Maximize
buttons.

I think the cases when jaws leaves off the last part of a word has gotten
worse. Now it leaves off the last word or last two words of a line. Is there
anything I can do? Thanks, Judith
