Well, I'm sorry, Alicia. this is beyond me, and I'm an old Word user, for
years before I ever heard of Jaws. Never since Windows made possible
opening two Word documents (or any other two text files) at once, or more,
have I ever hit any sort of snag like what you're describing. There must be
some other factor at work here that I'm not sophisticated enough to infer.
Sorry.

I do know how to use alt tab. that is how I normally switch between open
files. That is not the problem. The problem is that when I open say the
worksheet document it will open fine; however, when I open the textbook
document the worksheet document I previously opened closes and Word will not
allow me to open both documents. You can not even alt tab between them
because only one of the documents will open at a time.
