If you hit insert alt S, you may switch to training or proof reading 
mode. I know if you read by word, Jaws will say "cap", but if you read 
all it reads as usual. I haven't used or experimented with this because 
I prefer keeping Jaws racket to a minimum.

Try changing the pitch to a greater extent.
Also, I haven't tried the speech and sounds manager in this regard but 
maybe there is something you could using this feature.

If you are talking about Jaws sayiing a capitol letter in a sentence 
such as "Steve went to a store" I think you are out of luck.  Jaws will 
not interupt itself to say the capitol letter on the correct name.  If, 
in your dictionary, Steve is capitolized the spell check will pick it up 
as a misspelled word if you spell Steve with a small letter.  Judith

  Hello friends,

  can anyone tell me if there is a way to make JAWS say Capital or 
something when it comes across a word such as a name with an initial 
capital in Microsoft word?  I have the pitch changing but sometimes, to 
be honest, I don't notice it, especially when in the spell checker.

  the place to find it and under which menu would be really good if you 
can,

  many thanks in anticipation,

  Steve.
