Hello Alana,
Another member of this list resolved the problem of JAWS speaking the same
character more than once by removing all references to Microsoft Outlook and
Microsoft Word 2007 in his "my settings" folder. He was able to add each
entry back one by one afterwards and apparently that worked. You might want
to move the referenced program settings into another folder so that you can
try adding them back one at a time.
To get to the "My settings" folder you can do the following when using
Vista:
1. Press Windows key.
2. Move off the edit box by pressing down arrow key and then press the
letter "A" followed by the enter key to bring up the "all programs" list.
3. If focus lands on a search box then use down arrow key to move off of
it. Press the letter "J" until you get to the "JAWS 10.0" program group.
4. Press the enter key to open the JAWS 10 program group.
5. Press the letter E" to move to the "Explore JAWS" menu choice and then
press enter key to open the "explore JAWS" submenu.
6. use down arrow key to move to the "my settings" choice and press the
enter key.
7. Press the letter "M" until you find references to Microsoft Outlook and
Microsoft Word. If you want to back them up then cut them to the clipboard
and paste them in a backup location. If you don't want to back them up then
just delete the references to Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Word.
8. Move to the JAWS window using Alt key with tab keystroke.
9. Press the Alt key and use down arrow to the "manage applications"
choice" and then press the enter key.
10. Press the letter "M" until you find any references to "Microsoft
Outlook 2007" or "Microsoft Word 2007." Remove the checkmarks on the
entries by using the spacebar. use tab to the OK button and press enter
key.
11. Restart your computer and open a file in Word or a message in Outlook
2007 to see if removing the entries in your "my settings" folder resolved
the problem. If so then you might decide to just continue using current
settings or you can try adding the setting entries that you backed up back
into the "my settings" folder. If you do add them back then it is a good
idea to restart the computer after doing so to see if the problem occurs
again or not.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Double speaking in office applications?
Hi,
When I navigate in word and outlook, they are the two office programs I
use,
I have noticed that when I navigate by word or character, Jaws double
speaks.
Has anyone had this problem?
I am using the latest build of Jaws 10 on Windows Vista.
Thanks.
Alana
