Greetings, I am running Jaws v5.1 on both my Win98SE desktop and WinME laptop = machines, I am running MicroSoft Office 2000 Professional on both machines. So far= as I know, the setup in all respects is identical - I use the laptop as if = it were a desktop, I hate laptop configurations. I have tried running Jaws v4.5 on the laptop and get exactly the same results when in a Word document, or even if Word is open and no document. Whenever on the laptop I enter Word in whatever guise, I keep getting = part of the status line read to me, this also happens when I am in a document working or reading, especially when we come across a line which is not = full. I get something like this: rec trk ext over least that's what it sounds like. On the desktop, this does not happen at all. I suspect that this is something which has changed in Word rather than a Jaws matter, so please can anybody suggest what may have changed and = needs to be reset? Do I need to reinstall my Office 2000 pro? =20 Thanks for any help. =20 Colin Howard looks forward to hearing from you. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
