Sorry for the headache. I wanted to paste an online text doc with links built in to every other word into an MS Word doc and make all the links disappear without taking out the associated word. I may resort to retyping the text.

I was trying to help out Wayne, who was trying to cut and paste without the word link showing up in his document. Wayne is using JAWS 11, so I was restricting my experiments to that. Then folks said that it could be done, so I wanted to know how, since I wasn't able to figure out how to do it, which you can't, as I already knew. So, I wasn't trying to make it stop saying link for myself, I was trying to help out someone else. As for why you would want it to stop saying link? Well, most of the time it doesn't matter, but there are many web pages, take a look at any wikipedia article, where every other word is a link, and it is quite distracting to read it with every third word being link. So, even though I might not want to turn it off all the time, it would be nice to turn it off some of the time. I do turn off the stating start and end list announcements as I find that not terribly useful most of the time. The fact that you can do it in JAWS 12, is great, and I will do that, but Wayne was working in JAWS 11 so I was going that route. Lastly, I am not even sure that suppressing JAWS from speaking the word link would prevent it from showing up in the cut and paste. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
