[bcab] JAWS9 and punctuation

Good Afternoon All,

I'm a new member to this list and I wonder if someone could offer me some 
advice please. I've recently migrated from JAWS4 and Widnows ME to JAWS9 and 
Windows XP. I like to have JAWS set to read all punctuation. JAWS9 all 
punctuation has been improved and now reads all punctuation contained with in 
words e.g. I've is now spoken I apostrophe ve and not Ive and so on. This can 
be very irritating when listening to a long document. I've tried adding the 
words to the JAWS dictionary manager and teaching JAWS to speak them correctly. 
I have added the words to both the default manager and the Microsoft Word.jdf 
file; now in applications like Outlook Express words like I've are now read 
correctly i.e. without the punctuation being spoken within the word, but they 
are still being misread with in Microsoft Word.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems please? and does anyone have any 
other suggestions as to what I might try to rectify this problem. Any help 
would be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Very best wishes from Chris Cook.
