Hi listers,
I appear to be having the same issue with words breaking up near the end
of a line. This has occurred more since the installation of JFW 33 with the
25 patch and Internet Explorer version 5! In addition, does anyone have a
fix for hotkeys not holding? This two has occurred since the upgrades. Some
have suggested this is a windows issue but since we use jaws to read, any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Joel
