Hi Brian;
I have tried to save a Word template as a, Normal.dot, several times
but, it
keeps reverting back to prior settings. What i'm doing is opening a
new
Word Doc, document 1, making the settings the way I would like them to
be
each time I open a new Word doc, from the save as type list, I save
it as,
Document Template (*.dot), & name it, Normal.dot
Am I not naming , saving, or what correctly? I have tried making
changes to
the Normal.dot file in my templates folder in Documents & Settings
but, it
still the reverts back to the old settings after a short while. I am
running Office / Word 2002 & Jaws 10, 11, 12. All help will be
greatly
appreciated in getting this little issue resolved. Thanks much. Take
care.
Mike

Hello Wayne,
When in Microsoft Word, you can use Alt+CTRL+V to bring up the "paste
special" list of choices. Use up arrow to the choice for unformatted
text
and press enter key. This should paste your information without
hyperlinks.
If by chance you are using Alt+CTRL+V for something else such as the
volume
control, in Word 2010 you can apply a keystroke to the "keep text
only"
function. If using Word 2010 do the following if you want to apply a
keystroke to the "keep text only" function:
1. Press Alt+F to use the File button and then press T to open the
options
dialog.
2. Press C while focus is in the categories list to move to the
"customize
ribbon" choice.
3. Use tab key to the "customize" button and press spacebar.
4. In the resulting categories list press the letter A until "all
commands"
is selected.
5. Use tab key to the list of all commands, which might take a
couple
seconds to populate.
6. Press the letter P and then use a page down key about six times
and
arrow down to the "paste text only choice.
7. Use tab key to move to the box where you can type in a new
shortcut
key.
I use Alt+Shift+T.
8. Use tab key again to move to the combo box where you choose the
template
to save your changes. If you save changes in the normal.DOTM
template
then
the keystroke will apply in any new document where you use the
applied
keystroke. If you want it only for the current document then use
down
arrow
in this combo box and make the appropriate choice.
9. Use tab key to the "assign" button and press spacebar.
10. Use tab key to the "close" button and use spacebar.
11. Use tab key to the OK button and use spacebar.
Take care.

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.

Wow did this thread take a strange turn. 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.
