Have you checked to see if the program is maximized?  In older 
versions of word, sometimes adjusting the zoom has helped.  I 
haven't had to do that in a very long time so not sure if that 
will help either.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Jaws Skipping Around in Word

Hi all,

sometimes when I'm arrowing around in Word, I suddenly find 
myself
somewhere unexpected.  for example, I finished writing a 
paragraph, hit
enter twice, wrote a title, hit enter twice again, and started 
another
paragraph.  Then I pressed ctrl+up-arrow once to move to the 
title, but I
wound up about a page and a half above it.  The same thing 
happened when
I used the arrow keys.  Pressing up-arrow by itself a couple of 
times
didn't move me to the title, but to roughly the same place as 
before,
about a page and a half up from where I had been.

This usually happens at page boundaries, but it sometimes happens 
in
other places.  The only way to stop bouncing to somewhere I don't 
want to
go is to use ctrl+left-arrow to move from the paragraph to the 
title.

I'm using Windows 8.1, Word 2013, and Jaws 15, but I think, 
though can't
swear, it's happened in earlier versions of word.  I don't think 
I've
noticed this with NVDA, but then again, I use NVDA less often 
than Jaws.
It doesn't happen all the time, but when it happens, it happens a 
lot.

any ideas about what's causing this or how to avoid it.

Ciao
