Hi Belinda,
Thanks for your continued interest. Yes, having hit the OK button in Speech
& Sounds Manager, I have hit yes when asked by Configuration Manager if I
want to save my setings when exiting.
I have gone straight back into config Manager and found that the settings
have not been saved. You are right, a number of other settings do not appear
to be held by JAWS on the college system but some are!
Obviously, within the couple of hours I have at the college and trying to
get on with the course I do not have the opportunity to investigate fully. I
will try and get the technicians to have a look but of course they have
little or no experience of working with Jaws.
cheers,
tony

Hi again Tony,
Are you absolutely sure you're saving when you exit the Configuration
Manager? After saying OK in the Speech & Sounds Manager dialog box you will
be back in the Configuration Manager and you need to go to File, Save to
save the configuration file (usually default.JCF). I suggest you then exit
the configuration manager and then go straight back in again to see if the
settings have been saved. If they haven't been saved then I think you must
have a problem saving your configuration file, and I'm not sure how to help
you, but perhaps someone else reading this will have a suggestion. What
about changing something else in the Configuration Manager to see if these
settings are saved? Maybee it's something to do with your default.JCF file.
Have you managed to save any changes before?
Not sure how to help more, good luck trying once more tomorrow.
Belinda

HI BELINDA,
I TRIED USING THE SETTING AS YOU SUGGESTED ON THE COLLEGE SYSTEM LAST
THURSDAY BUT TO NO EFFECT. FOR SOME REASONS JAWS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE
RETAINING THE SETTINGS. WHEN YOU GO BACK INTO WORD ALL THE FONT ATTRIBUTES
ARE BEING SPOKEN AND WHEN YOU GO INTO CONFIGURATION MANAGER THE SPEECH AND
SOUNDS MANAGER SETTINGS ARE BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE!
THIS IS BECOMING QUITE A PAIN.
CHEERS
TONY

I think I might have found the answer to this, but it may depend on what
version of Jaws you've got. I've got Jaws 5.0 and I've found an option in
the settings area as follows:
Jaws/Utilities/Configuration manager/Set options/Speech & Sounds
manager/then change Scheme from Classic to
Classic (Attributes and font Info). Save those settings and this should
then read what you want.
Let us know if it works,
Belinda

Dear Joan,
Going back to your original message, how did you manage to turn off JAWS
saying all the attributes at the start of a line. I am having this problem
using Word on a system at college and have not found a way of silencing
this!

Hi, Michael,
Thanks very much for your help.
As usual, I haven't explained very well. What I want is for Jaws to tell me
when in Say All Mode, when text is bold, underlined or normal, that kind of
thing.
Thank you again.
Best wishes,
Joan.

Hi Joan,
I'm not sure whether what I am about to say is the attributes you refer to
in Word, but if it is what I think it is, do the following.
To find out the "attributes" of a line of text in Word, press the keystroke
insert+f on the keyboard and will say something like; Type Roman, size 12
point, alligned left, single line spacing, etc.
If you want to know what colour the text is and what colour background press
the keystroke insert+5 on the numbers row, and it will say for example,
"black on white".
Hope this helps,
Michael Brown.

Hi, Folks,
A basic point I know but I can't for the life of me remember how to get Jaws
to say attributes in Word.
At one time it was overdoing it by telling you them in each line so I turned
the option off.
Now I find that there is so much blurb within the managers that I feel I'm
almost wading through treacle!
Any help would keep me sane and be gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Joan.
