Jerry, Try switching your Word view to "normal" (the view menu and then choose "normal"). Next, use insert+v to edit your verbosity options to turn off graphical object detection. Let us know how you make out with just these suggestions. ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jerry Hathaway Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 9:29 PM To: JAWS LISTSERVE Subject: ms word help I have a word file that has graphic spacer.gif that jaws is reading when I am arrowing down through the file. I think these are graphic pictures, but do not know what these are and how to get rid of them. I am using windows xp pro, ms word 2003, and jaws 9. A couple of other jaws reading issues also with word is when I open a word document jaws is saying the inches of the margins of the documents. The other issue wiht jaws is jaws will say the word new line when I am reading through a document. Does anybody know how to solve these issues with jaws and word. Jerry
