[gui-talk] Word saying "new line" during writing and editing

[Joel Deutsch]

I'm using Jaws 9 (arghh, what a turkey it is on my machine!) and have just 
begun using my long-unused copy of MS Office Word 2003 because Jaws 9 no 
longer fully supports my good old Word 2000, which I've kept using because I 
have relied on its easily accessible and, for me, very useful Thesaurus. And 
I can't make any sense out of how to use the thesaurus in Word 2003. But I 
bit the bullet, as we say, because I was having problems with Jaws 9 and 
Word 2000. Not worth going into, I guess.

But Jaws is exhibiting some odd behaviors now with Word 2003. Not crippling 
as would have been the case if I'd stuck with 2000, but pretty annoying. 
Here's the one I would like to put an end to:

This hasn't happened before today when I've worked on a document in Word 
2003, and I don't know why unless it has something to do with codes that 
transferred with some text I copied and pasted from an email.

As I come to the end of a line while writing or editing, or arrow down to 
the next line, it sometimes (though not always) announces "new line." Well, 
wonderful. I don't need to hear that while I'm working. I know which line 
I'm on. And I didn't hit Enter to make this happen, either, by the way.

As I say, maybe it's saying something based on end-of-line codes that came 
over with the text I copied and pasted from an email, but I don't know. I've 
done this sort of thing a lot of times, and this never happened. Maybe I 
hadn't yet done this while using Word 2003, but I can't remember. I've only 
been using it for a couple of weeks.

The only thing I could think of was to go to the View tab of the Options 
dialogues in the Tools menu, and tab through the items to see if something 
was checked that would be announcing end of line. As can be toggled on or 
off in regard to paragraph marks, spaces, hyphens and so forth. But there's 
nothing there about end of line codes. Or at least I didn't find any such 
item. Paragraph marks, yes, as I said. But not "end of line."

So I don't know where Jaws is picking this up, and I'd like it to stop.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
