[nfbcs] Frequent JAWS crashes when using Microsoft products

Mon Oct 5 15:11:35 UTC 2015

Office 2013 seems to work fine. I have been using Office 2013 for at least 1
year with no difficulty at all. I have been using it on Windows 10 sense it
came out.

Now we are starting all over with Office 2016. Outlook seems hit and miss.
Most of it works, all but the reading panel which kind of makes Outlook
meaningless. I am sure Freedom Scientific will address the issue soon.

Do you need to do anything special during installation? I am about ready to
install office 2013 on a windows 10 machine. Thanks.
