I recently purchased an appliance from GE and I downloaded the manual from
the site. HTH

A friend scanned a GE microwave manual and saved the file as a 2003 Word
document. However, when I tried to read the file I was informed by Jaws
that there were 441 objects and when I used the down arrow cursor to
read other material I heard Jaws say Section 1 and it stopped at Section
4.
Whehn I tried to use the Jaws cursor, I could read a line telling me to
plug in the appliance before using it.
Any suggestions for dealing with this vexing problem? Alternatively,
can I get a copy of a GE Microwave manual in a format that can be read
by Jaws?

I don't think JAWS can handle .pdf files to well. It's quite possible
that when the manual was scanned it was turned into individual pictures
of each page, which JAWS can't read. There are many Optical Character
Rendition programs that can convert a scanned picture with text into a
readable document. Perhaps your friend can try using one of them to
convert the .pdf to a .txt file.
