[JAWSLite] Re: the apostrophe

The verbalization of "apostrophe" when two appear in a row isn't a JAWS defect. 
There are no situations where a double apostrophe would be grammatically 
correct. However, the solution is simple. Go to the beginning of the document 
and do a search and replace. In most cases, searching for two apostrophes and 
replacing with a double quotation mark will work.

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?
