Hi Darran,
Make sure that in the first field of Dictionary Manager that you don't have
a space before the first period nor after the last period.
If you have a space at the beginning or the end in the first field and Jaws
encounters period space period space period then it won't be corrected to
reading it as a space.
A tortured description but it does make sense if you struggle with it.
I've always had punctuation set to None so don't have much experience of
other settings?people don't speak in punctuation do they!
Regards
David

Hi Erica, surely if I put break or section in the relevant edit box, JAWS
will say break or section when the text occurs?
In fact, I've just tried it and that is indeed what happens.
Have I misunderstood your directions?

| Well when people write those in books etc I open the default dictionary, =
| then
| add the periods as period space period space period. In the replacement =
| box,
| I put period period period without spaces. This makes it sound like it =

| section. This should work.

| Hi List.
|
| I've been messing about with the default dictionary in version 8 to try =
| and=20
| find a way to stop JAWS from announcing the following;
|
| period period period
|
| I receive a couple of newsletters in which the author always breaks up=20
| sentences by inserting three periods broken by a space, so its period =
| space=20
| period space period.
|
| I can't find any way of telling JAWS to ignore these three spaced =
| periods=20
| and just move on to the next piece of text. I've tried entering the =
| exact=20
| text into the dictionary and telling JAWS to treat it as a space, but =
| this=20
| just doesn't work. It does stop it from announcing three periods, now =
| its=20
| only two I hear!
|
| Can anyone suggest a method that might achieve what I'm after?
|
| Regards.
