The Jaws dictionary is global only when you press shift-control-d but you can allow it to work with Outlook Express for not announcing thre > sign. That's what I do for my e-mails. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Levy To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] greater sign in emails
Your first technique for suppressing the announcement of the > symbol is not a good idea, because it will be suppressed in all applications, not just email. So, for example, if you happen to encounter a Word document that contains the > symbol, JAWS will treat it as a space and not announce it, which is probably not what you want. The JAWS Dictionary Manager is global, so applying changes to the > symbol will affect all applications.
