Well, of course you can. Why did you say that?

you can do a save with control-s in configuration manager if you want to make
more changes without closing configuration manager, or, when I do it is to test
a change that I've made. control-s saves the change i made in configuration
manager, I check to see whether or not the change is to my liking, and if I
don't like it I can just alt-tab back to configuration manager and change it
back without reopening it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, Adrian. Let's see if we're talking
about the same thing. What I thought she was describing was launching
Configuration Manager, opening the Settings menu, arrowing down to the item for
verbosity, and making some change to the part of it concerned with punctuation,
then clicking on OK to close the menu, and then, naturally, saving the file,
default or not, before exiting Configuration manger.
I never heard of their being some "field" in Configuration Manager such as
what you seem to be referring to, for one thing. It's got menus, menu items,
and various dialogues within those items, some tabbed, and some simpler.
But I'm starting to think this may be about just the simple thing of setting
punctuation right there in the Jaws interface itself, under voices. You know,
the interface you put up by pressing Insert J. You set speech rate, you set
pitch change for uppercase,and so forth, and you set punctuation to that choice
of none, some or all. If that's what she's talking about, it has nothing at
all to do with saving a file, nor with Configuration manager. You see?
Now, if by some chance, you're actually talking about an aspect of
configuration manager I can't even imagine, please explain.
Thanks.

Yardbird,
Sorry, but that's incorrect. Control-s isn't required in this particular
field.

Wendy, whatever the problem is, it is not that you're pressing control S
before exiting Configuration Manager. That is exactly what you must do anytime
you change settings that way. And it ought to work. So don't think about that
idea any more. Just call Jaws tech support and tell them what happened. Maybe
they can help, maybe they can diagnose it with you, maybe not. But honestly,
it's not that you shouldn't be saving the file. If you don't save it, nothing
is changed in the file that your new settings are meant to change.
Good luck.

Hi,
I'll give it a go without the control s and see what happens. Thanks.
