Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanently Turning Off The Reading Of Headings AndParagraph Markers
Thanks so much for the clarification, Annette. The more I worked with the web documents I was describing in my previous messages, the more I realized that it was probably the web page formatting that was giving me problems as I copied and pasted the material into a Word document. I'll definitely keep this in mind for future reference.

It pastes only the text and not the graphics, hyperlinks and all of the formatting. The only time I use it when I am working on copying information from other documents is when I plan to do my own formatting once I've gathered all of the information into my document. So if you are taking information from a webpage, then you most likely do not want the formatting as they have it on the webpage. The use of headings on a webpage serves a different purpose then in a document in many cases.

Annette: Hate to bug you again. In fact, I wanted to write to you off list, so as to not clutter up the list with my question, but I could not pull your personal e-mail address from your original e-mail. Anyway, can you tell me exactly how to access the paste special unformatted texxt option? Here are the instructions you sent me the other night: Go to Home on the Ribbon, Paste, Paste Special, Unformatted Text. I can't seem to find the option in the home menu.

Excellent work, Brian. Tom, If you aren't sure what a setting does in the Quick Settings dialog, tab once and a description is provided for each setting. In order to permanently save that setting, tab again to the Okay button and press Enter. Jaws automatically saves those settings until you change them.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanently Turning Off The Reading Of Headings AndParagraph Markers
Brian: Since I am using Word 2010 here, I have tried both of the options you have suggested. Interestingly, I can get the paragraph and line indications to turn off in a given document. However, when I go back to the web page and copy and paste another section into a new document, the paragraph and line indications re-appear. I think it may have something to do with the content of the web page itself. The thing is that once the line and paragraph indications re-appear, they appear in all other documents I access, so I have to go through the process of disabling them again. My solution for now is to copy and paste the web content into a notepad texxt file, and save it that way. I tried saving the copied texxt file into Word, but the marker indications re-appeared there too.

Use OK until out of dialog boxes. If you are using Word 2013, I have noticed that the hotkey of CTRL+Shift+8 doesn't turn on and off the View All option on some systems. In Word 2013 use Alt followed by H followed by 8 to do that function. The View All option in Word 2013 was moved to the home tab of the ribbon instead of the view tab. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanently Turning Off The Reading Of Headings AndParagraph Markers
Tom, I use the Paste Special Unformatted Text frequently when I am copying and pasting information from the web. It pastes only the text and not the graphics, hyperlinks and all of the formatting. The only time I use it when I am working on copying information from other documents is when I plan to do my own formatting once I've gathered all of the information into my document. So if you are taking information from a webpage, then you most likely do not want the formatting as they have it on the webpage. The use of headings on a webpage serves a different purpose then in a document in many cases.
