Dear Everett,
Good morning to you! Thank you for your support. It's a comfort to know that
I am not the only one with this problem! I have tried saving the file but
that does not help. I have also deleted the normal template and that does
not help. Hence I think it must have to do with the Word scripts.
The problem lies uniquely with MS Word and when I switch to the desktop or
Outlook JAWS behaves quite normally.
By the way, I forgot to mention that JAWS eventually freezes for up to a
minute or does not recover at all.
One technique I have for getting JAWS back to life is to run Narrator! This
seems to wake JAWS up and then I can exit Narrator. However, even this does
not work when JAWS has got lost and remains silent.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Good evening,
This isn't really the list to discuss such issues, as the list is primarily
for JAWS scripting support.
Howver, I have also experienced this from time to time with MS Word and JAWS
9. I found that saving the document normally fixed the problem.
HTH,
Everett
