Hi Alex, This question may be slightly complicated by the fact that JAWS includes features to make use of MS Word more productive that aren't strictly speaking to do with accessibility.
For instance, you can search for changes in text attribute and skim read documents, including pulling out sentences that contain particular keywords. Whether these features are useful or not will depend on what you want to do in Word. That said, all the advanced productivity features in the world don't help if FS then breaks access to the Save As dialog box for a month ...
