that's good that you resolved the issue you were having.
I would think there would be a way to easily disable/enable the mouse
pad. this way you can enable it just when it is needed, unless you also
use screen magnification.
BTW, it is really referred to as a track pad, the mouse pad refers to
those pads you'd get to facilitate using an optical or ball mouse.

Thanks for this. I will try it tomorrow as the computer with MS Word 2013
turned in for the night. I did get it turned off with a lot of testing. I
went into Options in Word and just started tabbing through each category.
When I got to Display, I tabbed to a check box for hidden characters and
unchecked it. It worked. I still do not know how I managed to turn it on.
I am guessing the mousepad on the laptop is the culprit.

Control-shift-8 (on the number row above the letters) is a toggle that makes
those characters appear or disappear. Yes, it is an MS Word feature. If that
doesn't work, please post again because there's a possible JAWS answer, too.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters
Hello-
I am using a loaner computer with JAWS 15 and MS Word 2013. I was working
in a doc when it suddenly started reading hidden features like paragraph
mark, new line and dimensions of things. I think it is a MS Word feature
but it may be JAWS. Since I don't know how I turned it on and I am not used
to the layout of Word 2013 I could use some help in turning off the
features.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Wayne
