Yes, you can paste, but I never tried pasting a string that long.
However, Dave's approach is basically sound, as I've used the trick once
or twice.

Hmm, well, it doesn't seem to work...I may be doing something wrong, but
I also noticed that you can't seem to paste characters from the
clipboard into the "actual word" field of the dictionary box. THis seems
a grim oversight indeed.

 

For reference, the "separator string" is actually a line of 80 dashes

        Then you can be clever and copy the separator character from the
web page, open your JAWS dictionary for the web browser, and assign a
blank space to be "spoken" in place of that character. That should
silence it.

                Thanks.

                Unfortunately, it already seems to be set to "simple
layout". This is apparently the default, which I haven't altered.

                        Try setting your document presentation to
simple.

                                Greetings.

                                 

                                A minor annoyance that I can't seem to
find a solution for. I recently upgraded to Jaws 11, and I find that now
the programme will say "separator" when it encounters a long line of
dash characters. This often happens with message boards in particular,
as some may know. I've looked in various areas of the configuration
manager and haven't found a way to turn this off. Personally, I would
rather jaws simply not say a thing, as this is what occurred in all
previous versions I've used as for general reading I usually have most
punctuation announcements turned off.

                                So, where can I silence this pesky
thing?

                                Thanks in advance.
