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.
