Interesting,  this works for me using jaws key+left and right arrow as well. 
I cannot test with word but when I have used word, I have noticed that 
anytime you have strings of characters broken up by punctuation, there is an 
accounting as you move through the string for each punctuation number even 
though the entire string may be pronounced with each progress toward the 
right.  I have been told that this is a windows behavior which is why the 
special scripts were developped for handling numeric chunks.

David,
An interesting observation, I can read the numbers in your email quite
easily by using the insert + right arrow. (not insert + control + right
arrow)
Now, in Word it don't work the same. It will NOT read the whole number?
Test yor theory actually using Word as well. I do have Office XP, JAWS
5.0.62, XP Home Athlon XP processor. CYS...

in 5.0.844 using note pad, after adding the keystrokes to the scripts
for
say next and prior numeric data, I was able to read chunks such as:
1.334% and 1.44% as well as 12.44% in both note pad and outlook express.
