[Athen] help with JAWS 9

[Prof Norm Coombs]

My question on JAWS and images in Word is similar but different.  In the 
past I have inserted an image into Word2003.  I moved the cursor till JAWS 
told me I was at a picture.  I used the ap key and one of the choices was 
"format picture"
 From there I could put in the text for the picture.  I had not done it for 
some time.  Now When I get to the picture and do the ap key, format picture 
isn't there as if Word doesn't know I am on the picture but JAWS leads me 
to think that is where I am.

I may be using a different version of JAWS or I may have changed some 
settings in JAWS or Word, but I am not able using JAWS to get the control 
to format picture.

What am I doing wrong???
