Hi Barbara. You need to go to the JAWS configuration manager with Insert-6, then control/shift D for the default, then alt S for settings and then arrow down to "text processing" and hit enter. Tab to numeric date processing. Here you will find three radial buttons. Be sure the first one which is "no translation" is selected and then tab to the OK button. You then do an alt F4 and answer "yes" to keep changes.

My jaws is pronouncing any fraction as the month and day of the year. I type for, 1 slash 2 and it says January 2 instead of the fraction. I have jaws 9 and Win XP. Thanks for any help.
