  Hello list,
  Hopefully, someone will have a simple solution to this annoying 
problem.
  More frequently than I would like, JAWS has stopped working for 
certain
  features of certain programs.  For example, when in Outlook, JAWS will
  stop recognizing what is in the inbox.  The arrows still move the 
cursor
  up and down the list of emails (or so my wife tells me), but it reads
  nothing.  However, JAWS is still on as evidenced by pressing ins + t 
to
  read the window title.
  The only way I can get it to work is to dump JAWS (ins +f4) and then
  restart JAWS again.  After restarting JAWS, the problem might reoccur
  within seconds.
  Secondly, when I am reviewing a document in Word, the JAWS program 
will
  begin to stop recognizing the text when reading line by line. 
Usually,
  reading by paragraph (ctr + down arrow) will read the entire 
paragraph,
  but I am unable to read by line or by word or character.  When trying 
to
  read by line or word or character, the screen reader reads "blank."
  Again, dumping JAWS and restarting will sometimes fix the problem
  temporarily but not always.
  I am running JAWS 7.0 at home and JAWS 6.0 at work (the work computer
  has the issues in Word only).  The work computer has JAWS 
Professional,
  and home has the standard.
  This began happening only recently and is quite frustrating when
  drafting or reviewing a timely contract.
  Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
  Craig
