Greetings.
I'm having a frustrating time with one aspect of Office 2010. I'm using a HP 64-bit machine running Windows 7 and the latest version of JAWS 12. The problem is this: when using Outlook to compose or reply to a message or when composing a document in Word, I begin to type and suddenly find myself in either a new message, a new Word document or a dialog such as "find and replace". It's as if when typing, the cursor is being moved around and lands in other fields. This happens especially when I am typing quickly (over 120 wpm). I don't know if this is a JAWS problem or an Office 2010 problem. I initially thought it was the former but I started a document, unloaded JAWS and kept typing and eventually ended up in another field anyway so it may be a Windows 7 problem or one with my machine.
Also, occasionally Outlook or another program becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. JAWS still talks but it takes a while for the program to wake up.
Has anyone else encountered these problems and, if so, what was the solution? And saying "get Window-eyes" isn't the answer I'm looking for as this may not even be a screen-reader problem although I wonder.
T I A!
