one possible fix, look in control panel accessibility options control tab to display, then tab to cursor blink rate and width, if set to anything set them to zero press home, then apply the changes then ok button and see if that fixes jaws not reading when you backspace characters ----- Original Message ----- From: "matthew dyer" <mdyer1@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 2:41 PM Subject: microsoft office question.
