JAWS keyboard command for reading sentences change?

Morning!

With JAWS 2022 and JAWS 2023, the keyboard commands for moving to and reading prior and next sentence as well as the command for re-reading a sentence seem to be broken...or have they changed?

I've looked online and the documentation indicates that they should work:

Alt + Up or Down Arrow or Alt + Numpad 5

But they don't work in Word, PowerPoint, or PDF content anymore.

I do have the latest version of JAWS 2023.

Ideas?

I did notice this was broken in JAWS 2022 but kept hoping and update would fix it. I used them all the time so it is frustrating that I can't read through anything sentence by sentence anymore.

Cheers, Karen
