Hi Jeanie
Here's what you do, if you haven't already tried this?
1. Go to the config manager.

2.  Go to set options, then synthesizer options...
3.  Make sure that your dectalk express is the currently running 
synthesizer or this will not work.
4.  Tab over and you should hear, dectalk express punctuation combo 
box.  If this is set at all, or most, change it to some and then press 
ok.   You also might like to change this in your default.jcf file so that 
it acts the same in all applications if that's what you want. I hope this 
saves your sanity! smile.
