[blindLaw] Jaws and MS Word Issues: No Longer Reads By Word or Reads Text When Selecting by Word

[James T. Fetter]

Houston, we have a problem. My work computer updated, and now, Jaws no 
longer allows reading by word or reads text when selecting by word in MS 
Word. I can still read by character and by line. Has anyone else 
experienced the same issue? Versions are:

Jaws 2019.1907.42 (latest version).

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (latest update).

Microsoft Office 365 (latest update, I checked).

NVDA reads by word and reads text selected by word just fine, so it must 
be a Jaws-specific issue. I'm happy to contact Vespero and go through 
their process but wanted to check here first to see if this is a global 
problem or unique to my system. Thanks in advance for your help!
