I think the reason that you can get stuck near the bottom of a document when arowing down or near the top when arrowing up is because the default views in word will often have more then one page on the screen at a time. So you will have page one on the left and page two on the right and then page three below page one and page four below page two. If you arrow off the bottom of page one you will go straight to page 3 below it. If you arrow right off the bottom of page one you will land on page two. The problem is that you can't arrow down off page three to get to page four. Any of the views that get rid of these multiple pages will sort the problem. I use outline view or go to the zoom option and set it to page width or one page. Hope this makes sense. Garth On 08/07/2011, at 9:43 AM, Barbara Anne Bolin <barbaraanne1@...> wrote:

when JAWS stops at the end of a page I change the view. I think I change it to normal, but if yours is set to normal change it to print view. that always fixes it for me.

Instead of starting in Word and then going to Open, go to the files list with My computer or Windows Explorer--Windows key plus e. Arrow to the file you want and press enter to open it. good luck At 06:43 PM 7/7/2011, you wrote:

As to your first question: I have experienced the same thing. What I do is change to use the #2 from the numpad. Don't have any idea why this helps. As to #2, I sure hopes someone knows that answer! I would also love to know. Always, Barbara Anne Barbara Anne Bolin BarbaraAnne1@... Home: 501-225-1555 Cell: 501-551-8555 -----Original Message-----

HTH Artur -----Algsõnum----- From: Eric Caron Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 12:06 AM To: Jfw@... Subject: Introduction and Microsoft word questions Hello JFW list members, My name is Eric Caron. I am new to this list and thought I would do a quick intro before asking a few questions. I live in Vermont USA and use computers both at work and at home, though for different uses. At work I use windows machines and do mostly internet programs and Microsoft word. At home I use a Apple and do more with audio editing, personal music organization and listening, and many internet activities. I have just upgraded at work to a Windows 7 machine using Jaws 12. I also run XP on my Mac for occasional use but plan to add Windows 7 soon. I came to this list because I have found the support lists of blind mac users very helpful and would be lost without them. I wanted to find a similar group of blind JAWS Windows users. I have been using JAWS since version 3.1 or something like that. I'm feeling a little rusty now because of the change to Windows 7 and so on. I'm really looking forward to sharing knowledge and assistance on this list. On to a question. I'm using the newest Microsoft word program and have noticed a strange behavior with many of my files. I work with just over 200 students and have many many files. Lately when I open a word file about half the time the following happens. I'll be arrowing down the page reading line by line then suddenly I can not arrow down any more. This happens even though the file may be a few pages longer then the spot it stops. If I go to the end of the document say by hitting control end I can then arrow up through the rest of the document to the point it previously stopped. It will then no longer let me arrow up any further. I've noticed this seems to happen at a page change. I can then use control home to get to the top of the document and then arrow down but again only as far as the point when the new page starts. Any ideas how I can get back full control over my files? Second word question. when I am in word 2010 or whatever the latest version is, I control O and the dialogue box opens. I have to tab around a lot to get to the thumb drive I store my data on. Is there a short cut key to get to that part of the dialogue box? Thanks for any assistance. I'm looking forward to being part of this community.
