If you listen to What's new for Jaws 13, there is a setting that will cause your settings to be saved or not saved for each program, not sure how it was titled, just remember reading it and apparently I figured it out because I can change settings in every program and retain them.

It just seems that I shouldn't have to change the setting every time I move in or out of a program. But at least, now I know what to do for a temporary fix.

I typed punctuation into the edit box and it said it could only be modified through the default setting, which would then I assume affect all programs, not just the one you want. My settings using quick Settings have seemed to hold for me, so I don't know what to suggest. Maybe someone with more experience and expertise with JAWS can help you sort it out. I am curious now also to know if punctuation an be set for each program or only as an across the board default setting.

It was fine when I made it and read your email. But when I came back to the email, the punctuation was back.

Open this with the insert key and v. When it opens you will be in the edit box. In the edit box start typing the word punctuation. When JAWS says punctuation, arrow down once. You can cycle through the various punctuation levels by hitting the spacebar. When you get the choice you want, then hit the tab key to okay and hit enter. You should be able to do this in any program you have open. I have not paid much attention to punctuation on my personal computer, so I don't know how reliable JAWS is once this setting is changed, but that is how to change it in any given program.

I was working in those days and writing adoption home study reports and I needed to hear all that punctuation, but I didn't need to hear it if I was reading an article or an email. Now, it seems that even if punctuation is set to "none", I still hear it when reading emails and articles from the web. Is this everyone's experience? Am I doing tomsething wrong?
