I don't know if this will help, I'm using the latest version of Duxbury and
JFW 4.5. Occasionally when Jaws does not speak text that I know is there, I
do a screen refresh with insert plus escape and that seems to bring the text
back. Insert plus escape doesn't work on earlier versions of Jaws but on
the 4 series it does.
