John,
I just realized your question implies you're not finding this list, and I
should have been clearer. By "insert-4," I'm referring to the 4 on the number
row above the letters on the keyboard. I'm not referring to the numpad.
As I said in the message I just sent, I find I can access this feature while
within a variety of applications.

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

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
