Hello Adrian,

I have sent an email to FS and will let you know what they say. In the
meantime, when you hit insert f4, are you in a word processing application,
such as, WordPerfect or word?

Take care,

John

Subject: Section Sign

 

Hi, everyone.  I sent this message at about 6:30 last night, EST, but it
hasn't turned up in the list, as a fellow lister confirmed.  I hope it's not
a repeat for any of you.

 

John,

 

I remember I once tricked JAWS into saying the section sign. However, I've
just been experimenting in the JAWS dictionary manager, only to find JAWS
doesn't recognize that it's on a character. The JAWS graphics labeler
doesn't recognize it as a graphic, at least in WordPerfect.

 

Curiously, the section sign does appear in the symbols list you get by
pressing insert-4. Open up that file and type an s, and you will be taken
right to it.

 

I've been testing this in both 6.2 and 8.

 

Someone on the list may also have tricked JAWS into speaking the symbol and
remembers how they did it. Otherwise, it would be worth an email to FS tech
support.

 

If you get an answer, please let us all know.

 

Adrian

Hello All,

 

I have a different punctuation question. I do a lot of legal reading and
there is an s like symbol for section and i was told that it was in an
earlier version of JFW. I believe it was 7.0, but cannot say for sure. When
JFW reads a code or statute section with this symbol, it reads over it as if
the symbol was not there. Is there a way to either, one, find this symbol in
the JFW menu choices, or two, select the symbol in a document and add it to
the punctuation symbols?

 

As always, I will greatly appreciate your help.

 

Take care,

 

John
