[nfbcs] JAWS and Navigating Office 2003

[Mike Freeman]

Gary:

If one has used the JAWS update feature from the Help Menu, does one need to 
download the full executable from FS or can one use the executable from a 
JAWS installation disc even though it's for a far earlier installation. 
Parenthetically, I wish that one could do a JAWS Repair over the Internet.

Mike
