Hi,
Not sure about the difficulty that you are experiencing in Word. However,
in Excel, when using F2 to edit the cell's contents, I have often had
trouble with JAWS not reading text that the cursor passes over. I have had
problems with this for years, going back several JAWS versions and going
back to Excel 2003 (I am currently using Excel 2010). I have reported it to
FS. They say that it is a known issue but they haven't fixed it yet.
Thanks,
Scott Duck

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS16 fails to read MS Word documents and Excel cell
entries while JAWS 15 does
Hello gang.
I've both the latest JFW15 and JFW16 on my Win8 64bit PC. I consistently
notice that JFW 16 fails to read content in my MS Word documents while JFW15
consistently and reliably is able to read them. Ditto behavior when trying
to read entries in an MS excel sheet cell by hitting F2 to read the entry.
These are the same documents in Word and Excel that I've observed the diff
in behavior between JFW15 and 16.
What's going on and do you have a solution to offer?
