[nabs] problems with Word 2007 and Jaws 10

[Huff, Kathy]

Hi Rhonda,

I don't know if this will help or not, but I found at least my copy of JAWS 
10 to be defective.  You might want to get a sighted person have a look at 
your work.  Also, in case you didn't know this, Word 2007 adds extra spaces 
between paragraphs automatically, so if you have something double spaced and 
say you hit return twice between paragraphs, you have actually added four 
lines instead of what you wanted.  You can go to Alt O, then hit the P for 
"paragraphs" and shift tab to the left until you hear "don't added extra 
space between paragraphs" and put a check mark there.  It only holds for one 
document at a time, but when you do that it will do what you want.  I didn't 
know this untilo a couple of weeks ago in class.

I hope this has helped you.  Good luck.
