Craig,

Somehow I missed this note.  Is there a specific document that isn't working that you could send to me?  I would like to see if the same thing is happening with 
Window-Eyes, for one thing.  If you are saying that you are having a common problem with words running together, I think we should make sure we're not talking 
about some kind of JFW bug.
