Open up word. Press alt F and then arrow to options and press enter.

This puts you in a list of categories. Press D for display. Then start 
tabbing. It will be quite a few tabs. You're looking for an item that says 
something like, show all formatting. If this is checked, press the space bar 
to uncheck and then tab to okay and hit enter. This seems to get turned on 
in word sometimes.

Hello everyone.  I hope that you will be able to help me correct an issue 
that is driving me crazy!

    I am using Windows 7, Word 2010, and JAWS Professional.  Everything has 
been working wonderfully, and I have been going smoothly.  Last night I shut 
down my computer, and then of course this morning booted back up once I was 
back at work.  But I do not know if I accidently checked something, 
unchecked something, or did some other little thing that I was not aware of. 
No one else has access to my computer, unless evil little elves broke into 
my office last night, and messed with my computer and then ran away 
laughing!  LOLL

    The problem doesn’t seem to be in any other program other than MS Word. 
But everything reads fine when I do a read all command.  But when I either 
navigate word by word or letter by letter, JAWS is now suddenly saying 
“space marker” at every space, and “paragraph marker” at every paragraph. 
It use to simply say “blank”, if it was on a empty line, and space if I was 
going letter by letter, or word by word.  But now it seems to be speaking 
all of the “"format markings, which is confusing, and far more information 
than I need.

    Does anyone know how I can get JAWS to not give all of the additional 
information?


James
