Hi,
JAWS is doing weird things of late. For instance, it will read a word
correctly in Outlook Express, but if you check the spelling by arrowing over
the word, it will read double letters and leave out some letters, even
though it reads the "misspelled" word correctly if you read it with
control-left or right arrow, in other words, the whole word. I understand
JAWS version 6.0 is even stranger; it wil not read edit fields properly in
MS Word. I'm in no hurry to change to 6.0.
