Thanks, Mike. Very strange, though.

Hi Jean & Ted,
I went into my MS Word 2010 & played around with these 2 settings a little
bit & what I found was, sometimes they would hold & sometimes not. So, when
I found that they were both checked after a few attempts of saving these
settings again,I got the hell out with the escape key! LOL LOL
Note: I'm not sure but, it might make a difference in which order you check
these options. I've got mine saved now &, don't want to play around
anymore.
Take Care.
Mike

I never had occasion to notice this, but it's disabled on my office PC,
and I'll bet it's been that way since the initial installation. We have
2010 here.

Hi Mike,
Well, at least you're getting the setting to stick. I'm finding better
performance with having Disable Graphics Acceleration checked, but mine
won't stay checked even with Prompt to Update Styles Checked as you had to
do. Ive tried running Word in Admin mode as well, but still no sticking.
Hmmm.

Hi Adrian & Jean,
When checking the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, checkbox my
settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style,
checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y, on the
Advanced tab. And yes, after checking the, Disable Hardware Graphics
Acceleration, checkbox I did tab to the Okay button & press enter to save
the change.
Why wouldn't my settings stick until I checked the, prompt to update
style,
checkbox? I'll be the first to admit that I don't know / understand what
most of these settings mean in Word! LOL
All input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
Take care.
Mike

Thanks, Jean and Mike. I missed the checkbox my first time through, but
found it immediately with Mike's alt-g. Mine was already checked, meaning
disabled, but it sounds like a useful tip. I may as well list the steps
from
start to finish, at least as I got there:
1. Open a document in Word. Note. This works in 2010 as well as 2013.
2. Press alt-f for file, t for options.
3. Shift-control-tab to Advance.
4. Press tab once to get inside this area.
5. Press alt-g to get to the accelerator checkbox.

Hi All,
If you want to get to the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration,
checkbox
much quicker while on the Advanced tab use the keystroke, Alt + G.
Take Care.

Just thought I’d share this for those who want to try it.
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. 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
