It is nice JAWS to offer many so different built-in schemes and, in case none of them suit our needs, the capability of configuring each aspect of a scheme. For dayly use, I'm right with the Classic scheme with only one (technically six) modification: instead of hearing heading level numbers, I configured the Classic scheme to play a different piano note depending on the specific heading level, therefore navigating by headings or reading documents with many titles is faster. Since I rarely need JAWS to report each attribute or font change in a text (usually INSERT+F for specific parts is enough), I'm not confident with Proofreading-like schemes that indicate changes simply by reading the affected with another voice or pitch. For these cases, I prefer built-in variants of the Classic Scheme instead.
Regarding Word changing automatically superscripts, subscripts and many other things, I find useful to have the Provide Feedback with Sound option checked. On this topic, it plays a Liquid Paper sound when Word changes something automatically, and a thighter one when you place your caret over a text which was modified automatically, although in this case by default JAWS say “Smart tag: Undo automatic actions,” which indicate you can press ALT+SHIFT+F10 to open a context menu related to the correction made.
