Hello Lenny,
There might be text boxes in your documents. You can use CTRL+Shift+O to
list your objects. JAWS should tell you if the objects are text boxes.
Press enter key on one of them. I have found that JAWS might say that the
object is selected at that point when it isn't really selected. When you
select the object, you get an additional tab on the ribbon. You can select
the object by moving the cursor on to where you hear JAWS say "slash" and
using shift+right arrow key. When the object is selected try putting it in
the text layer by using ALT+Shift+C. If you hear that the object cannot be
put in the text layer, then make sure the object is selected by moving on to
it with the cursor and using shift+right arrow key. Press Shift+f10 or the
application key. Use down arrow to the "edit text" choice and press enter
key. After doing so, read the current line and use up or down arrow keys to
try to read the text in the text boxes.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] reading docx file
I was sent an important docx file. I have office home and student 2010. When
I open the file Jaws reads protected mode and file contains two objects. The
only thing that I can read is a slash. The actual text is on the screen that
my wife can read. I can not read it with the jaws or pc cursor. Using the
latest jaws 13, windows 7 home.
Are there any settings that I need to change?
