You are correct, Word does change this in the text. As I'm to understand
it, there are two types of dashes , one that is required and one that is
optional. They look different. I had to change this option when I was
working. JAWS 10 does not read this like JAWS 9 did, but here is what I
remember, Ray. Go into tools and auto correct options, and maybe with JAWS
9, you'll find the two different kinds of dashes. Just check the correct
box. When I had JAWS 9 I changed my dash to -.

I do not know how to turn it off because ms word actually changes this to
the "n-" in the document so jaws is saying what is there. You could modify
it using the dictionary.

Subject: How to turn off n dash
Hello All:
How do you turn off the pronunciation of dashes as n dash in Microsoft Word?
Someone asked me about this and I could not find a place either in the
verbosity options, JAWS configuration manager, or Microsoft Word itself.
So, if anyone knows how to turn it off, please let me know.
