I think this was meant for the entire list so I'm forwarding it.

Subject: Re: Customizing reading sentences.

If WE can't be changed to fit the particular text, what about changing the text to fit what WE can do? Just do a global replace changing all strings of period space to period space space. You might then want to do another replace to change all strings of period three spaces (in case there are any) to period two spaces. Now all periods should be followed by two spaces, which is good for the WE capabilities but problematic for sentences containing words like Mr. or Dr. Once you learn which words you're likely to encounter that cause such problems, you could do one more global replace for each such word to convert, for example, Dr. two spaces to Dr. one space. You're then ready to edit by sentence. If you want the final document to have only one space between sentences, then at the appropriate time you can do one final global replace to convert all strings of period two spaces to period one space. If this sounds cumbersome, then automate the process by putting the first group of global replaces into a macro and run the macro before editing.

Currently this can't be changed, but we do plan on changing it at some point in the future.

Good Morning:

I am gradually trying to switch over to Wineyes, so I'm sorry if some of my questions may be fundamental. I must do a lot of proofreading of documents and to do this, I like to read sentence by sentence. It is my understanding that Window-Eyes considers a sentence 2 spaces after a period?I would like to be able to read current, next, and prior sentence having only one space after the period. Is there any way I could make this happen? Thanks a lot, Deb.
