That being said, i.e., I got the hyperlinks to work (but unfortunately, not 
reliably).  There are  some Word documents in JAWS Help, but the hyperlinks 
in them do not work reliably either.  Maybe there is some contortion of a 
few keystrokes to make them work all the time: but despite earlier optimism 
on my part, I haven't yet uncovered such a formula.  (Too many 
functionalities fighting for too few keys.)  If you 'activate' a Heading or 
a hyperlink, you keep being taken back to the list - so all you're doing is 
activating the list itself.  (Oh lordy JAWS!)

Folk,
if nothing else works in the document, then turning Quick Keys On with
JAWSKey+z in the Talks document will enable you to work with the hyperlinks
there.  tony has sent me the document, and I've tried it and it works.  (Far
as I know, this works since about JAWS5.)

Alternatively, and this may work properly:  When in the word document whose
hyperlinks you want to navigate with, if your version of JAWS allows it use
Insert+z  - that's z for Zulu - to turn Quick Keys On.  You may then treat
the document as if it were an HTML document, using the usual JAWS HTML
keystrokes as on the Web.  (I think you should toggle Quick Keys off (using
the same keystroke as above) before you exit the document.)
