As far as I know, this is not possible. You have to set the verbosity
punctuation settings to all in order for JAWS to read periods at the end of
sentences. Of course, if you set it to all, it will say ellipsis at the end
of any sentence where this sign occurs. It shouldn't read this sign as
period period period or dot dot dot. If JAWS is set to read these signs, it
should only say elipsis. JAWS will say dot dot dot whenever there is a bunch
of periods in a row. You will often find this while reading the table of
contents in a book for example. This is the same for any letter or symbol.
JAWS will only repeat it three times if it is used excessively.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] punctuation frustration
Ok, I am going nuts. Lets see if I can word this right.
What is the difference between the period and the ellipses?
I hate it when jaws says dot dot dot for the ellipses but it also says
period period period which I hate. So, how can I get the pronounciation
of elipsis to be silent but also have all the periods be read for like the
end of sentences?
This customizing punctuation is a pain in the A$$! I should have just
left it alone and not try to "customise" it.
