Ana,
Insert-Z is still the toggle to turn quick keys on and off in Word with 
JAWS 17. When you notice quick keys being on, does it happen 
consistently every time Word is opened or only on occasion after you 
begin typing.
With NVDA, there were times when the keyboard would behave as though 
sticky keys got turned on even though it really wasn't officially 
enabled. This would become apparent when I would, as an example, press 
the letter T and NVDA would act as if I pressed insert-T and would then 
read the window title. I could usually stop this behavior by pressing a 
modifier key, such as alt or control, and it only happened on a slower 
machine and hardly occured using Windows 7 or later. I am wondering if 
something similar might be happening with JAWS?
