[Athen] JAWS 11 and Word 2007

[Jeffrey Dell]

I've had simular issues with JAWS 11 on Windows Vista 64 with Office
2007 on an HP Pavillion Laptop.  It is my laptop at home and I have
nto had time to resolve it.  The problem that I have is that I cannot
read word by word or characters in the document.  But it will read
line by line.  I've seen many quirks in JAWS 11 that make me wish that
I had never installed it.  I often use JAWS 10 or NVDA instead.
