JAWS seems to also no longer be saying colon after fwd and parentheses before and after another list that uses parentheses instead of brackets in the subject field which I also wanted to accomplish. I apparently wasn't successful in getting JAWS 12 changed to Advanced since it is saying dot dot dot after Basics etc., but any progress is good. Thanks to everyone who is helping me tame the new beast. Margaret Earlier, I wrote: John and All, When I started trying to get JAWS 12 not to say left bracket etc. Insert -V from the message list view had most for punctuation. Changing it to none or some gets it to work temporarily, but I haven't been able to find the proper item in the Settings Center yet to make it permanent. Changing the setting in voice in options with Insert-J that I understood to be another list member's suggestion didn't seemed to have worked, but I might have messed up. I'm pretty sure while I was looking in the Settings Center that I was able to change verbosity to Advanced, which was one of the things I wanted to do. I'm going to take a break. Any more instructions for making the change permanent would be great. Margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: "john R.

In jaws 12 and 13 you will need to use the new configuration facility. 1. While in your "in box", hold down the insert key and press the letter "v" as in victor. 2. you are in the quick settings tree view. down arrow through the various controls and when you get to a control you think you need to change, tab once to read the jaws help. Usually, if you want to change an item, you enter on it to check or uncheck an item. see if this helps.

In Windows Live Mail 2011 and JAWS 12 with Eloquence, JAWS is speaking brackets, parentheses, etc. in the names of lists that appear in the subject field and, at least for now, I'd like to hear only the names without the extraneous symbols being spoken. For example, JAWS says left bracket JAWS dash users right bracket in the subject field for this list. For now, only hearing JAWS Users would make me very happy. I think I have Advanced Verbosity set, but I can't remember if brackets, parentheses are included in punctuation or not. I know I used to be able to use the JAWS dictionary to have list names not speak at all, but I want to see how it goes hearing them minus the extraneous stuff. Do I still do it with the JAWS dictionary or is there some setting somewhere to accomplish it? JAWS 10 on the XP home is saying it the way I prefer Any help would be appreciated.
