Hi Patricia, Launch Microsoft Word. Press Insert v for Verbosity Settings. Cursor down to General options and down to Top and Bottom Alerts, which you can toggle on and off with the SpaceBar, then press Enter. That should do it. Hope this helps, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Patricia To: JAWS users list Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 12:26 PM Subject: top and bottom edge alert in Microsoft Word Hi: I've just installed JAWS 9 and was in the new verbosity dialogue changing some things, noticing that they now had an option to turn on or off the annoying sound we used to have in JAWS 8 when you reached the top and bottom of documents, lists, etc. Thing is, I've come to rely on that in MS Word since having the feature, but can't seem to turn it on. yet, it works in other areas such as windows explorer. Is anyone else having this issue? I am using the latest build. Patricia
