[JAWSLite] the apostrophe

I seem to have a situation in which jaws continually speaks apostrophe's.
This particularly happens when some scanned materials show quotes as
apostrophe's and therefore there are two of them in a row.  I have tried
every setting I can think of and have only found success by going to the
dictionary and redefining the apostrophe as a space.  Unfortunately, this
replaces all apostrophe's in documents with spaces which isn't a
particularly helpful outcome.  
 
Has anyone encountered this problem before and found a solution?
 
I'm using jaws 8.0.2173.  Speech is controled by jaws.  This problem happens
with rtf, txt and html documents.  
 
On another subject.  I can't seem to find the place to turn off
identification of tables and lists in the configuration manager.  What am I
missing?
