Adrian,
as I recall, you can just launch the dictionary, press control shift d if 
you want to be in the default file (as I always do; why would I want 
someone's name pronounced properly in one application but not in another?) 
and then, instead of adding a new pronunciation, which is the default 
control you first land on,tab to the control that gets you into a list of 
the items you've created and then, if i remember correctly, you can alter 
them or delete them, individually. but you probably know that yourself. 
Maybe I'm missing the point?

Chris,

This is useful information, and I thought about suggesting something along
these lines to Kerry, but I had the impression he was asking how to restore
the default for a single entry. I don't think that can be done, or can it?
Perhaps the original entry can be found through shared settings? I mean that
as a question.

Hello Kerry.

To revert back to the factory default dictionary file open the start menu,
programs, the Jaws group you are interested in changing, explore jaws,
explore my settings. This will open your personal settings folder where you
can look for default.JDF. Once you have this file highlighted you can delete
the file. Jaws for Windows will no longer see this file in your personal
settings folder so it will use the copy from within the shared settings
folder. All of this assumes that you were smart and did not overwrite the
copy that was in the shared settings directory. By default the dictionary
manager will first check and see if there is a file in the personal settings
folder and if there is not a file in the personal settings folder it will
read from the file from the shared settings folder. Once the changes are
made it will write the modified file to your personal settings folder.

I hope this helps.

Chris.

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a way to restore the original dictionary
manager settings. I changed something and now want to change it back and
can't remember what the original entry was. Thanks for any help. Kari
