I think his problem is that Word Enhanced has not been set up for these two
cursoring keys. You will need Word Enhanced in programs such as MS Word,
Windows Mail, UltraEdit and many others.

Subject: Re: repeating words with control arrows in documents
Word prior and word next are hot keys that are not defined by default,
and should not be defined. Hot keys are intercepted for the use of
Window-Eyes only.
Control-Left and right arrows are standard cursor keys available in
almost all edit windows. That is to say, these are program keys. So you
don't want to intercept them. cursor key definitions tell Window-Eyes
what to do when you hit a program's cursor key. These should be defined
correctly by default. So first I'd recommend opening the Window-Eyes
control panel, Alt-F File, and then U to update all outdated set files.
If that doesn't work you might want to go into the same menu and hit F
for factory settings. There you can reinstall default set files.
But if you want to do it manually, here's what to do.
Open the Window-Eyes control panel.
Go to: Cursor keys, Keys.
By default Control-Left and right should be defined globally to speak
word. Word enhanced is for programs that consider words broken by
punctuation and other dividers separate elements and treats them as two
words when using Control-Left and right. Off hand I can't recall which
programs do this and which don't.
Go to Cursor keys, keys, and make sure that Control-Left arrow and
Control-Right arrow are set to Word. And make sure that only the first
action is defined.
For any program that still breaks up words you can change the scope from
global to Program, capture those keys, and set them to Word enhanced.

don't have thword prior and word next keys defined it seems, they do

set as the first and second actions.
The repeat filter is to handle groups of the same character repeating.
For example, If someone uses a series of dashes to emulate a line
they'd put something like 60 dashes on the line. Setting Repeat filter
on and using the default value of 3 in order to prevent it from firing
in words with double letters it would say, dash dash dash, repeats 60
times.

Sounds like words you are going through have punctuation in them. Words
will repeat in this case.
Change control-left and control-rightfrom word to word enhanced and save
your settings. This should fix your problem.

Subject: repeating words with control arrows in documents
Hi folks,
This has been a window-eyes frustration for me since...oh I don't know
when. Why is it that if I use the control left or right arrows in a
document editor, we repeats the word I'm going past? Sometimes it does
this 2 or three times so scanning a line word by word takes that much
longer. I looked up the repeat filter via the gw info archives, and
this
arrowing thing doesn't seem to have to do with it. Re: the repeat
filter, where is the explanation of its function in the window-eyes
manual? I couldn't find it through either contents or index excluding
the description of the options for it in the screen section of the
control pannel description. Anyway, anyone have an idea as to the
repeating words thing? It happens in any editor I use, be it jarte, ms
word, notepad, ect.
-- thanks,
