HI,
JAWS 6 De fault.jkm does not appear to have the script keystrokes
assigned. and once I assigned the required keystrokes, they do not
work.
I provide the instructions so others might try it.
This is frustrating as JAWS 5.0038 had the say whole number with decimals
set correctly *by default* and F S told me it would work by default
this time.
I am putting these isnstructions for modifying
Default.jkm as the reading
whole number as single unit does not work after doing
F S' own instructions to set keystrokes so reading numbers with
decimals in Word will work as it did since 1998 excepting 5.1.
The url gives example of problems reading numbers in Word requiring
numerous extra keystrokes to do 1 simple thing and the fix.

I present he 2003 F S instructions as Keybaord Manager's location changed.
I do not post daily and making numbers in Word read right means
efficiency, eliminating 900 unneeded keystrokes and sore hands.
If better instructions to fix this problem exist, then F S should provide
them.
2003 Instructions (per url)
.
" "JAWS 5.0 or later
JAWS 5.0 or later already has the Numeric Data scripts in to the default
scripts. To assign keystrokes and use them, do the following:
1. "...you select "Keyboard Manager" and press ENTER.
2. In the Keyboard Manager, select the "Default" key map file from the list
of options and press the TAB key.
3. Press N then press DOWN ARROW until you select the script
"NumericDataSayNextAsSingleUnit."
4. Press CTRL+A to add a keystroke to this script. Press the keystroke you
want to attach to the script, such as CTRL+INSERT+RIGHT ARROW.
5. Choose the OK button.
6. When JAWS asks you to confirm your changes, press ENTER.
7. After you have attached the keystroke to the first script, press DOWN
ARROW to select the script "NumericDataSayPriorAsSingleUnit."
8. Repeat steps 4 and 5. You can assign the keystroke "CTRL+INSERT+LEFT
ARROW" for this script.
9. After confirming the changes for the second script keystroke, exit
Keyboard Manager by pressing ALT+F4.""
