Hi Robin. I don't know why it should say this is unavailable, but you could try attacking it via the config manager. When in notepad, push the Jaws key together with 6 on the number row. Then I suggest you type punctuation into the edit box and see if you can change things there. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robin Clayden Sent: 10 May 2011 14:07 To: Jaws-UK List Subject: [jaws-uk] Notepad punctuation Hi, JFW 12. As a website worker I need notepad to speak every character. My desktop pc does this ok but when I use my laptop and notepad it doesn't read them all. When I try to modify punctuation, it tells me it's unavailable, only available if I modify the default file in Ctr Shift D Sorry if this is basic, how do I modify notepads punctuation without affecting the default "some" or "most">.
