Thank you Mike! That appears to have made a difference, but still not as responsive as I would expect. For example, it takes a while before a press of the control key stops JAWS from talking. When I made the change to the graphics accelerator, I noticed that the checkbox below it is for something called "animation when expanding conversations and groups". Do you have any idea what this does, and if it really needs to be checked?

The symptom. I've often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish. In going through settings, I came across an option to "Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration". I checked that and things seem to be much more responsive now. I'll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this, go into Options, Advanced, and the item is in there. If you use the, Alt + G keystroke, you'll get to it much quicker. From what I read on Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them. Hey, I don't need graphics anyway. haha. Hope this works. Jean Note From Mike B.: My settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

I am running Windows10 professional, OfficePro2016, on a Dell5480 with an I5 730U processor and 8g of RAM. I'm also seeing this problem at work with a Del E6450 and an E7440 both running Win10 professional and OfficePro2016 with 8g of RAM. I do not know the processor speed on these 2 machines. I especially notice the sluggishness when going through my Outlook Inbox while navigating and deleting messages. in Word while typing in the document. In most Office programs when navigating the ribbon The problem does not appear to happen in Excel, when navigating through the list of folders and files in Windows Explorer Any clues or suggestions will be appreciated. I have high expectations from this group to help me solve this.
