[jaws-uk] Re: To stop jaws announcing "read only edit"

Hi Rashmi,

Ok then, here goes.

1.   When you are in the Acrobat Reader press Insert D to bring up Dictionary 
Manager.
2.   At this point you will be on an "Add" button, now press enter.
3.  You are now in the first of two fields.  In the first field type

edit read only

4.   Tab to the next field and press the spacebar.  This will insert a space.

5.   Now tab to the Ok button and press enter, then Ctrl S to save changes.

6.  You will now be back on the "Add button" so simply go through the same 
process but this time type 

read only edit in the first field.

What I have described will only change things in Acrobat Reader but if you want 
to make changes Globally then press Ctrl Shift D when on the Add button to put 
the changes in a default file.  I would not advise it in this case.

From now on when Jaws sees either of these expressions in Acrobat Reader it 
will treat them as if they were a space and say nothing.  However, what you 
type in the first field has to be exactly right, including any extra spaces 
between the words.  Upper or lower case doesn't matter.

Best of luck.

David

  Hi David

  Thank you for the suggestion but would you mind in explaining step by step 
how to go about in entering each expression in the Dictionary Manager.  Regards

    Hi Rashmi,

    As a quick fix you might try putting each expression in the Dictionary 
Manager and in the second field insert a space.

    The Speech and Sounds method is good but must be to do with the Acrobat 
Reader.

    Best of luck.

      Hi List

      Jaws 9.0.519u, keeps on anouncing now and again, "read only edit" or 
"edit read only" when a PDF document open using Adobe reader 8.1.1, which is 
very annoying.   

      Please help to rectify the problem of my annoyment.  

      Rashmi
