Hi Lenny, I think you are on the right track. I think the problem has something to do with the JSI file that is in the personalized settings folder. I have made a change to the verbosity settings so that column titles are read when moving from column to column.
I get the message even if I don't make any changes to the worksheet. If I close the Excel worksheet without making any changes and then go back in to the worksheet, the same thing still happens. In my case, even if I leave the worksheet alone until Jaws finishes speaking, I still cannot move around the worksheet until I move to another window and then move back to the worksheet. I think there is a bug or setting in Jaws that is causing this problem and it seems to have something to do with the JSI file in the personalized settings folder.

It also happens when you shutdown Jaws and bring up another version or the same version. Basically, just ignore the message and wait until Jaws stop speaking. I believe that the initializing is caused by changes to the workbook that you saved. For example, any changes to the verbosity like title reading of rows or column will be saved in PersonalizedSettings of your current version of Jaws in"Explore my settings". I am assuming that you have made verbosity changes to any worksheet and save them. I do not know if the message you are talking about will come up if no changes in the settings were made. I don't think that it has to do with Jaws scripts. So, after Jaws stop speaking, you are good to go with the worksheet.
