From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Samara Raine Sent: 21 September 2010 02:55 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Announcing Bold and Italics in Word Pad Is it at all possible to have jaws announce bold and italics in word pad when you turn them on? You know, in MSWord, if you hit control I, jaws sais 'italic on'. Is there any way to have it do the same in word pad?
